WEDNESDAY

Sharing a couple of things before getting to the memes. So I am in my recliner last night and started the next book in my TBR review schedule. I let out a yell for hubby to come in the living room…poor guy…almost gave him a heart attack….gave him the book and he gives me the “yea what” look especially since he isn’t a reader. And I had to look at it again. I was reading the “reviews” of the author’s last book, which I read and reviewed….and….are you sitting down…..there is my review with my CMash Loves To Read…..I couldn’t believe it…I am in a book…..thinking I am carrying this book with me at all times and showing everybody lol ….btw..almost forgot to tell you which book. Its The Journey Home by Michael Baron.

OK…the next thing….regarding my designer…Also last night I was having a bit of anxiety because I was trying to do something and of course, me being so bad at computers…I emailed Emily. OK…get this..she spent hours…and I mean hours…with me trying to walk me thru what I was trying to accomplish. How many people would do that after installing the final project. I am telling you, if you want a new look, contact her…she is the BEST. Now on to memes:

Before I share with you the words I found this past week, I just want to also share my thoughts. Back in the day (lol) when I was in school, I probably wouldn’t have been able to find these words in the dictionary. It just amazes me that we have so much knowledge at our finger tips with today’s technology. I WONDER what we will have say in 10 years.

Today my words are a bit different. They are slang words (which I was eager to look up lol) that are used in Ireland and thereabouts. and they are:
*bollocks
–noun

1.(used with a plural verb) Vulgar. ballocks.
2.(used with a singular or plural verb) British Vulgar. rubbish; nonsense; claptrap (often used interjectionally).
*gobshite
–nounChiefly Irish Slang: Vulgar.

1.a mean and contemptible person, esp. a braggart.
2.a stupid and incompetent person

Since I have had so much time on my hands and spending a lot of time on the computer and reading, only activities that I am allowed to do per surgeon, I have been thinking about doing a makeover or facelift to my blog. There are many designers out in cyberspace so I am confused as to who I should contact. And I don’t want to spend big $$$$$. So does anyone have any recommendations? If you do, would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!!

A prize is also included. Here is the criteria:
Since there is a prize at stake this week I am going to make it slightly more work: Go to page 50, count down 50 words and then type out the next two full sentences. If it is a spoiler at all be sure to put **Spoiler Alert** at the top of your comment (like if the selection announces the death of an integral character or something).
I will be right back to posting since I need to count down to 50!!!………I am back and here are my 2 sentences.
In Caroline’s growing up, there had only been herself and her mother. When Caroling would ask about her father, her mother’s response was always the same: “You don’t have one.”

Hope you join in the fun!!
