Bathroom Education

On the topic of Scrabble, I found this list in the Bathroom Reader just today that is a list of vowel-less words apparently accepted in Scrabble. I don't know about some of them, but I'm not one to question the Bathroom Reader!

1. Nth
2. Sh
3. Shh
4. Cwm
5. Pht
6. Tsk
7. Pfft
8. Brrr
9. Phpht
10. Crwth

Scrabble Night

Here is our scrabble game. Like I noted on Jill's page, sometimes we let things slide and allow two words to become one word. We definitly play house rules, but I don't think anything's wrong with that.

oh, and I must have exaggerated Chris' score on Jills page, only 271, but thats still pretty good, considering it was the first time he broke 100!

More of me.....

Here's some more wedding pictures...I have so many, I think it makes it even harder to choose what you like. These are some of my favorites, the computer was being slow, so I'll have to post more later.

Early Temptations

I know it is only day 2 on lent, but I've already had temptations, well actually I had them on Ash Wednesday. I had made chocolate chip banana loaf on Monday night and it was oh so delicious. What I didn't expect was to still have some around the house Wednesday and Thursday. Luckily Pam, Chris' sister came by Wednesday so I fed her a bunch. If only I hadn't added the chocolate chips....if only!

Study Buddy

I signed up to do this Study Buddy volunteer program where you go to a school and work with one or a group of students. Yesterday I found out the particulars. I'm going to a Jr. High school and I go once a week on Monday mornings for 2 class blocks. I was assigned to a grade 7 science class and a grade 8 science class. I start next week and I'm very excited! It'll be a good chance to see if I would like to be in a Jr. High setting, and a good experience to be in a school before my practicum. Hopefully I can remember junior high science......

Getting it done

Chris just wanted me to note that he is now finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He'll be starting book 6 once reading week hits, which is only 2 weeks away.

I would like to take the credit in getting Chris to read Harry Potter, but I really just can't. It's all J.K., I may get them started, but her wonderful writing is really what hooks them.

Heads up

Just to remind everyone that Lent begins this Wednesday. It seems a little early, I know, so I didn't want anyone to miss it. This year I'm giving up the usual chocolate and also fast food. One day I would like to do the no desserts at all like the Lemons, but I think I would need more support from my other half before I tried that one. Chris is giving up McDonalds again...and maybe fast food in general. I'm not sure.

What else are people giving up?
