Oh my Word! Wednesdays

Lots of catching up to do today, but vanmost on the list is my word of the week! (Yes, I realise that I missed last week's word, but I missed pretty much all of last week)


My weekly words come from a site called Save The Words. (http://www.savethewords.org/) You can adopt your own by visiting them!


This week's word is...drumroll...Veteratorian!


Veteratorian: adj - subtle


"He ignored my veteratorian hints to stop talking so loudly about the woman who was within earshot, so I hit him with a board."

As of 4:17 this morning, I am thirty years old. I still sleep with my teddy bear. My mom bought him for me when I was born, and I slept with him and a blanket she had crocheted. Despite many attempts to tear them away from me, I slept with both until I was twenty years old when my ex moved in with me. That was a hard thing to give up, but was also a terribly embarrassing habit.

In 2005 I had a ‘mental breakdown’ and spent a week in the behavioral health unit (read: looney bin lol!) of our local hospital. On day two, my mom brought Teddy with her on her visit. It was one of the loneliest and most frightening times of my life, yet my dear stuffed friend didn’t judge me and didn’t hold it against me for ditching him for my ex.

Returning home was almost equally as frightening as being admitted to the hospital, and I slept with Teddy for a good six months after my return before he went to the closet.

When my ex and I started having severe problems, Teddy was again glad to comfort me. When my ex started traveling for work, staying gone for weeks or months at a time, Teddy was there to step up and take his place. When I kicked my ex out last July, Teddy was GLAD TO SEE HIM GO!

"Rumors of my death have been greatly exxagerated." - Mark Twain


I did not fall off the face of the earth. Feeling kinda blah and uninspired lately...weather changes tend to do that to me. It was in the 70's last week, and is snowing today!

Will be returning soon.

Love to all.

Bits and pieces

*Greg…is 31, has a four year old son, is divorced, is a chemical technician, loves history, especially Irish and Celtic, is very intelligent, has lots of tattoos, (I love tattoos) is very handsome, has red hair, tells me “I think I’m in like with you” and is just lovely! We are planning another date, and have actually been going over our schedules for the next few weeks so we can see what days we can get together!

*I…had a pity party for myself yesterday. Teary eyed, pissy, whiney, hormonal. Oh, I’m going to be thirty and I have accomplished nothing… no body loves me…I’m fat and ugly and have a big zit. My house is messy, the laundry needs done, shitty litter boxes need cleaned, and I can’t get any over time at work. Boo-hoo, woe is me, think I’ll drink some booze. Decided that wasn’t the best idea. Think I’ll drown myself in chocolate. Better alternative, but still not a good idea. Think I’ll read some blogs.

*I…read many blogs last night. Stopped crying for myself, but started crying for the pain others are experiencing. Why is life so unfair? These people don’t deserve this pain. Why can’t I help them? Why can’t I help everyone? Why can’t I make puppies, rainbows, and children’s laughter for the world so everyone can be happy and everything can be wonderful?

*I… clicked on a link from a post by Gina at From The Myst (http://blackstonemyst.blogspot.com/2009/03/this-is-beauty.html) I laughed so hard that I had to stop reading, and come back. I will definitely be following that blog!

*I…felt better. Got a new word. Had comments on my blog. Talked to Greg. Didn’t reveal that I become a psychopath once a month. That I probably have only one good week out of the month, as I suffer from pre-menstrual syndrome, during menstrual syndrome, and post menstrual syndrome!

*Today…Is a beautiful day. I have wonderful blogger friends. ‘The sun is out, the sky is blue, it’s beautiful, and so are you!” (Dear Prudence by The Beatles)

Oh my word! I forgot to tell you!

I was very tired last night when I posted my 'Oh my Word!' entry, and neglected to tell you all the details regarding my new project!


I found the website 'Save The Words' through a post at Lovely Lisa's site. Here is her post :

You can adopt your own word at the Save The Words website:
http://www.savethewords.org/

These are real words as far as I know, but are considered obsolete, and are no longer in the dictionary.

I love language, and hate to see wonderful words such as 'volgivagant' and 'vanmost' kicked out of the dictionary to make room for words like 'crunk'! (which I gather is a rap term that means crazy drunk)

Volgivagant was my first word, and you can see my original post at:

Oh my Word! Wednesdays

I enjoyed adopting a word so much, that I decided I would try my hand at adopting one a week.


Adopt your own word! It's definitely NOT volgivagant!





Vanmost - Foremost

Vanmost on my mind was what I was going to wear.
