a cool thanksgiving game

This is a cool Thanksgiving game I found off www.familyfun.com:

Name that turkey tune

Your guests won't mind singing for their supper with this musical amusement. Have them take turns crooning familiar songs, replacing all the lyrics with the word gobble. Choose a category for each round (Christmas carols, Beatles tunes, or TV theme songs, for example) and see who among the nonwarbling guests can be the first to make out each melody.

Sticker Paralysis:

The effect caused by having a really awesome sticker and no appropriate place to use it. General symptoms include keeping the sticker in a drawer and never actually using it. Sometimes resulting in affixation remorse.

Used in a sentence:
"I have contracted a case of sticker paralysis from this Vintage Apple sticker. I can't decide if I should put it on my fake plastic guitar or my rear window or my skateboard. It is too precious to use on just anything.

a happy life


ok, so i had my gall bladder removed last week, yuck-o. what a cool way to spend fall break, right? so school resumed this week and i'm on "light duty" for whatever that is supposed to mean. i am starting a new job next week with a fab new doctor and can't wait! what a fun new adventure this will be. patty patty came over and brought me two new slice cartridges to borrow. so in my down time i've been a slice-using fool. i'm loving all the things i get to create with them. some days life is just great.
