Day 20 - Gesticulate

I asked David if he thought I gesticulate too much when I talk...he said know. But I did end up slapping him in the face while I was talking one time...so I wonder.

Day 19 - Quotidian

This is a great word...but trying to fit it in at a Bunco game last night...not so easy! I would say that most of the gals that I play with live very quotidian lives, but I don't know if they would appreciate it.

day 18 - Flibbertigibbet

Are you kidding me? How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

I called David a flibbertigibbet before we fell asleep..."Was that your word of the day by any chance?" he asked....and I think a fell asleep before I could answer.

Day 17 - Enjoin & Atelier

Ok, so I didnt' use my WotD yesterday (enjoin) and I can't see getting atelier into a conversation today.

Atelier makes me think of my time in St. Tropez last September when we were on our walking tour and stopped in at the Butterfly Museum. The artist (an elderly gentleman) happened to be there and invited us upstairs to his studio. The way that he used the thousands of butterflies that he had collected over the years in stunning works of art, they were breathtaking. Later that day, after we had boarded the yacht that was our transportation for the afternoon, we were enjoined to keep a sharp eye out for the different types of sailing vessels that were taking part in the regatta, in particular to look for the some of the boats that had been winners in the America's cup.

Day 16 - Tortuous

This was easy. David was playing his new favorite XBOX game, Unreal Tournament. This was a game he used to play quite often on the PC. So, as he's playing and cursing and getting frustrated with the difficulty of the game (it's a first-person shooter style, which I cannot get into), I mentioned that it's a tortuous route that his character has to take in order to fulfill the requirement of the particular level he was playing.

Day 15 - Constitutional

Sophie and I had a great walk yesterday afternoon and when I told David about our wonderful constitutional, he replied that he didn't like the way that word sounded...that it sounded like we had made a good poop. Sophie did have a couple of good deuces so the word works both ways. I like the idea of a daily constitutional, it makes me think of Britain for some reason...

Day 14 - Presage and Vicissitude and Panacea

Last night when David and I were watching 'Sanctuary' (a decent show from the Scifi network) I mentioned that the writers seem to be presaging that the main guy figure will be getting together (romantically or otherwise) with the daughter of the female main character. The show actually leads you to believe at times that there may be a romantic link between the main male character and the mother!

Just now I asked him if he thought our relationship has experienced vicissitudes during our time together. He smiled and replied "Well, I don't know what that word means, so I don't know." I gave him the definition and he said "I don't know, what do you think?" I think we have, and I replied that what we need is a panacea. I think 2010 will be a panacea for a lot of things that have plagued us. I hope.
