Happy Thursday everyone! Today I’d like to share a post from my cousin Sarah’s blog with you. She blogs about living a creative and inspired life, and this post on hand-written letters really made me stop and think. I remember the thrill of getting a letter in the mail when I was younger, and that’s something my two girls don’t experience very often. I think we may make letter writing a family project….

No Rhyme (Nor Reason)
Happy Tuesday / September / National No Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day!
No – I’m not making it up. In the US, September 1st has been designated as the “unofficial” day for celebrating words in the English language that do not rhyme with any other words – like orange.
In celebration (ok, just for fun…) I thought I would see how many I could think of with without using Google or any other outside assistance. Here’s what I came up with – it is a short list! Let me know if you can think of more, or if you know a word that rhymes with one of mine. I’m sure I’ve missed lots. 🙂
orange
purple
vodka
month
bulb
film
UPDATE: a few more, from various sources around the web…let me know if you can come up with a rhyme for any of these! 🙂
amongst
angst
borscht (adopted into English, does that count?)
cleansed
depth
fourths
glimpsed
husband
ninth
oblige
prompts
scalp
wolf
wolves
Thrift Shop Treasure!
Did I need to go to the thrift store on my lunch hour and buy more books? Well, probably not, but I did have fun! I found some great stuff this trip.
Some mysteries (and a little sci-fi) for me:
And a bunch for my girls:
Have you had any great finds lately?
Waterpark Vacation!
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to let you know that I’ll be heading off for vacation tomorrow and won’t be around much this week. I’m heading to a waterpark with 2 kids, and I’m hoping to get some reading time in while they play on the waterslides. We’ll see how that goes… 🙂
I have a half-read review copy of Booked for Trouble that I’m taking, and maybe a cozy mystery or two off the pile on my nightstand that keeps growing and growing…. Hopefully I’ll have something to review by the time I get back.
Hope you have a great week, and happy reading!
