So, beginning today, there is a countdown. 31 working days until I...well...start to work again. Today was marked by a huge job milestone to kick things off- I got my paperwork for CSISD done and I have my ID badge. It's much better than the driver's license picture, for sure. Other than that, I spent the day with my mom while the girls and Kristin were at Mother's Day Out. First we went to look at the stained glass store- Mom's new hobby that she is, as usual, quite good at. Then we tried to track down a champagne colored tie for a wedding I'm doing at the end of the month. Found one at Jos. A Bank- and nowhere else in town. Unfortunately, I would refuse to pay $80 for a tie in good financial times, so I bought one for 1/20 the price with shipping from Amazon.
Over the last few days, our family has become aware that we make new words rather frequently. Now, these may be "inside jokes" and you may have "had to be there," but it's worth a chuckle, I hope.
Buttom- reference to one's posterior, as in when I threw a dog toy that hit our dog in the rear and said- "I hit her right in the buttom."
Chak- what can happen when something is lodged in one's throat, as in when Kenna had a plastic toy in her mouth and Kristin warned her, "Spit that our before you chak."
Grispet- cut of beef used commonly in BBQing, as in "Mom and I will have grispet for lunch tomorrow."
Dirkt Deposit- a banking transaction where a monetary sum is deposited electronically, rather than by check, as in my Mom asking, "Will the school do dirkt deposit?"
Sniffling- act of smelling something, as in Kenna saying, "The dog is sniffling my feet."
Librarium- not a new term, but worth mentioning. A place to check out books from, as in Leslie, when younger asking, "Can we check out books from the librarium?"
I'm sure we will discover new linguistic gems in the days to come, and we'll try to share them with you.
