Since I’ve already asked you to trash your friends and relatives today, and also provided a vital public service announcement to assure your longevity, I thought it’d be nice to give you something to do in your spare time. Two Three somethings.
[1] Have you noticed the "Free Rice" logo in my left sidebar (madeja look! madeja look!)? It’s been popping up everywhere so I finally decided to check it out (I like rice.)
Click it.
Test your vocabulary prowess.
Do your part to end hunger…for some people anyway.
In the process, you’ll discover just how inarticulate you really are have a little fun, too.
For more information, click here.
[2] I saw this at Shannon’s (Rocks in My Dryer), and doggone it, although the link came with a warning, I found out first-hand how it’s just like eating a Lay’s potato chip–you can’t eat just one of those, and you won’t want to make just one of these virtual snowflakes. While I realize a lot of the country is buried under snow and ice, in the Tennessee Valley global warming is alive and well as December temperatures soar into the upper 70s, people. IT’S 13 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS AND I’M SWEATING UNDER MY ARMPITS JUST WALKIN’ OUTSIDE! >:(
Anyhoo, weather-hissy fit aside, knock yourself out. Make snowflakes in the comfort of your own home. Pretend it’s snowing outside.
Or, if you live somewhere close to me, walk over to your refrigerator, open the freezer door, close your eyes, stick your head inside, and imagine the beautiful one-of-a-kind snowflake creations you just made. You’ll feel bettah instantly :).
OOooo! And I almost forgot. Tomorrow, Rebecca Writes is hosting the December Recipe Round Up, and the theme is cookies, squares, bars, candy, etc. If you’d like to participate (even if it’s linking to a previous post), follow her link for details.
I remember now that I suck at making snowflakes! Lots of fun, though, thanks for the link.
I discovered last week just how illiterate I am. I cannot break 46/47 to save my life!
Aggghhh!! I’ve seen the rice thing before and was completely hooked! ‘It’s for a good cause, it’s for a good cause’ I kept telling myself (ok, trying to convince myself as I spent an afternoon playing.)
See you in 8-10 hours.
aargh is right Sandy. I do ok on stuff like that though I don’t use any of those words in everyday usage. Reminds me of taking the Miller Analogies Test to get into grad school.
I had to stop so I could get back to work (and also write this comment).
Ummmm, Sandy, that’s THREE better than me!
Lisa, weeell, it IS for a good cause…;)
Inheritor (et al), I am NOT responsible for your little addictions ;).
Are you kidding me? More things to put on my list of things to do? You are the busiest lady I know.
I’ve not forgotten about the garage treasure. ***witch’s cackle**
I thought you weren’t blogging for a bit and here you have three posts in one day. Were you just trying to get rid of me…
Oh and I’ve been making links on my blog like crazy and I never heard back from you about the new one you want to create. Lemme know bout it.
Hey, there…
I just dropped by to say that for as much as I really, really, really wanted to make your button… I just can’t. I’m swamped at work and am even putting my blog on hiatus for a week or so. I had an awesome idea, too! The button would’ve been a window (like you’re looking in it), and on the other side would’ve been a shadow-man in a trench coat and fedora, holding your Pensieve coffee cup. But instead of “steam” swirls rising up from the cup, I would’ve changed it to “question-mark” swirls.
I’m giving full permission to anyone who wants to take that idea — if Robin’s liking it.
Gotta run! Have a great holiday!!!

I noticed your rice button in the sidebar, and read about it on someone else’s blog (L’Chaim, I think.) I’ll click over there and check it out right now, thanks. A worthy cause… and clever! :~D
A very cool site! I donated 1000+ grains of rice, and my best vocab level was 39… and YOU? :~D
P.S. I just read the FAQ’s regarding vocab levels: “There are 50 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above level 48.” You and Sandy are right up there. Congrats!
I played that Rice game last week – and when I started guessing as the words got ridiculous… I kept getting correct answers.
