Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-28

HORK = HORN + HONK


Swuvie texted me today that on her way to work a car nearly took off her front end going 70 mph when it switched lanes straight across several lanes of highway without checking for other cars around it.  She had to slam on her brakes, hork hard and swerve to avoid having the car hit her.  Thank you God for protecting my baby girl today so I could hug her again and tell her I love her. 


I AM THANKFUL!

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-27

FESSY = FANCY + DRESSY


Loved Anne Hathaway hosting the Oscars.  She's got good comedic timing.  Loved, too, all the fessy gowns on  the actresses--the elegant ones and the ones that left me wondering "what were they thinking?!"

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-26

INSPARCIALLY = IN PARTICULAR + ESPECIALLY


Got to feed my passion for dessert again today.  Swuvie, Donut and I went to the mall and stopped by Marvels (emphasis on second syllable).  It is a cake/cupcake bakery.  I had a piece of their almond poppy seed cake and liked that insparcially.  Tender white poppy seed cake w/almond tang, fluffy white frosting w/almond slivers on top.  My stummy was soooo happy.  Will be visiting them again.

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-24

UNMAZING = UNBELIEVABLE + AMAZING

My daughter and son-in-law, Swuvie and Donut, have been ever so gracious to take in Beetie and me since we sold our house last September.   Have I mentioned before that they invited us to live w/them after we sold the house?—well, it’s worth mentioning again—THEY HAVE BEEN UNMAZING!  Beetie has been out of work for about 3 years now and thanks to his superior skills w/managing money, we held out until we finally decided to sell our house w/the pricey mortgage.  We didn’t want to try to keep up a 4,000 square foot residence since we had become empty nesters.  But after selling our home, we really didn’t know what we wanted to do—rent a place? buy a cheaper home in some depreciated area in another state? get a motor home so we could go between weast to visit our children?  Just not sure.  My job helps pay for additional expenses we’ve caused Swuvie and Donut, and Beetie is searching for the next career that his heart will be moved to hang with for the rest of his employable days.  And so we wait, and explore options, and wait, and discuss, and wait.  Thank you, Swuvie and Donut, for making the transition between our last journey and this new one the grest.  

Thankful,

~Scrabulary Chris

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-22

ALPHABEDER = ALPHABETICAL ORDER


I was looking through my list of words w/sentences and came across the above Word of the Day.  I really couldn't see myself incorporating this word into a story so I thought I'd just share it in the sentence in which it was originally created.

The job she had at the library required her to put all the books in alphabeder.  

So there it is,

Hope you all enjoy your Saturday night!

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-18

TITCH = TOSS + PITCH


As I have shared on my Scrabulary Chris Facebook page, this scrambled words phenomena started when I turned 40 just like my need for reading glasses.  I have, over the years, written them down including the sentence in which they were used.  I don't remember the scenario that prompted the scramble of the words that created the word "titch", but here is the sentence in which it first appeared.

"Just titch the empty cup in the trash when you are through with it."

So what do you thay that be all for today.

~Scrabulary Chris

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-17

EXAMPLANATION = EXAMPLE + EXPLANATION


During my lunch hour at work a co-worker has been teaching me a new crochet design for a blanket.  She provided a great examplanation of how to create it.

Here's a pic of the beginning of the blanket.

I'll post a pic of the blanket when it's fun.

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-16

YUNDERFUL!! = YUMMY + WONDERFUL


After a long but good day at work I came home to a yunderful treat!  When I came in the door, Swuvie handed me a glass filled w/a liquid and said "try this".  I took a sip and immediately wanted what she was having.  She offered to make me one and I didn't hesitate to take her up on it.  The sneat treat is made up of frozen strawberries, vanilla soy milk (light), vanilla yogurt and crushed ice.  An absolutely ferfect smoothie! 


Thank you, Swuvie, for the wonderfar treat!

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-15

BOGGERING = BOTHERING + BUGGING


OWEEEEE!


A headache has been boggering me all day today.   Not migraine-like, just achy.  I thought it might be because I was tungry but it didn't seem to matter if I rested or ate, it just continued to buther me.  It made it huff to work today but I got through okay.  It seems every time the weather changes I get a nagging headache.  Perhaps my catnip tea will relax muscle tension and relieve the pain.  Well, time to hit the hay.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be pain-free.

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-14

GRIFIC = GREAT + TERRIFIC


A DAY FOR LOVERS

~Scrabulary Chris

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-13

BEETIE = BABE + SWEETIE
(Other definitions for words used are in the "Comment" section.)


Just hangin' with by beetie on this Valentine's Day eve.  Relaxing by watching a basketball game and savoring a Twix Java with that oh so wonderful choffee flavor after an hour on the treadmill.  Guilt-free indulgence! 


Have loved my daykend off.  I'm working Valentine's Day, though.  If Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. were truly "holidays", we would not be working on those days.  Merriam Webster's definition of holiday: "A day on which one is exempt from work; specifically, a day marked by a general suspension of work in commemoration of an event".  The Free Dictionary defines it as:  "A day free from work that one may spend at leisure, especially a day on which custom or law dictates a halting of general business activity to commemorate or celebrate a particular event".  I guess the key word in these definitions is "event".  Whereas , Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July all celebrate a recorded or purported event, St. Valentine is an individual and/or  individuals with the name Valentine who were martyred. Perhaps their martyrdom is the event, but instead his/their sacrifice has been trivialized by  making this a consumer holiday.  Buy, spend; spend, buy!  Sheepers!  Sorry St. Valentine(s).  


Just sayin'

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-12

(Read the blog and see "Comment" for the reveal)

Today's words are courtesy of Swuvie and Donut.  Seems my Scrabulary influence continues to pop up in their conversations.   


Swuvie was trying to take a picture of her cat Tati and said "I don't know why I try to take pictures of her, she just won't stit sill!"


When we all were trying to decide what movie to watch Donut said "There must be a dillion movies out there for us to watch."

Good job kids! Thanks for your help w/today's blog! Keep up the good work!

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-11

NUZTLING = NUZZLING + NESTLING


Here's a pic of my granddoggy Neptune nuztling in Swuvie's lap.  He is a pit bull and THE MOST PERFECT pet!!!

After the day I had at work in the "pill box" I'm ready to sleep as soundly as Neptune.


Hope you all enjoyed your day.

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-10

 DELUMPTIOUS  = DELICIOUS + SCRUMPTIOUS

In last night's blog I spoke of a rummy dessert called Sopapilla Cheesecake!  If you had seen my Scrabulary Chris Facebook page you would know I am posting the recipe today!

Sopapilla Cheesecake

2   pkgs. crescent rolls

2   8oz. pkgs. cream cheese

1   cup sugar

1   teaspoon vanilla

1   stick butter (melt just before using)
Cinnamon/sugar mixture (amount of your choosing)

 Roll out one package of crescent rolls in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan (that has been lightly sprayed w/oil--I use a flour infused oil).  Cream the sugar, vanilla and cream cheese together w/a mixer until fluffy.  Spread cream cheese mixture on top of the crescent rolls.

  Roll out second package of crescent rolls on top of the cream cheese mixture.

 Pour melted stick of butter over the top of the crescent rolls.

  Sprinkle w/a cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 27 mins. (we live at a high altitude about 6000+ and it takes a full 27 mins to bake) until pastry is fluffy and golden.


This is a truly delumptious dessert.  Even the most particky eater will enjoy it.

So go ahead and ghot!  Let me know how you like it!

Scrabulary Word of the Day for 2-8

 REBRILL = REBILL + REPRINT

I truly enjoy my job in the "pill box".   My most recent Scrabulary word rolled of my tongue while at work today.   A customer wanted their insurance applied to their order so I had to ask my manager for a "rebrill" for the order.  Just a part of what we do!

Can you guess where I work?

~Scrabulary Chris

Today's Word of the Day makes Swuvie giggle every time.

Superbowl Sunday Post

Post for 2-5. No Word?!

I believe some of my Scrabulary words could be incorporated into the English language.  I mean, why not? If a certain public figure can make up words on the spot and not be “refudiated”, I think mine have a pretty good chance, right?   I look forward to the Urban Dictionary incorporating my Scrabulary words to keep the English language up-to-date with my current lingo.  I am just doing my part by “contributing to the living language” Right, right? I can hope. 






Well, ok, you can have a word anyway, another from Swuvie. She said she needed to put some fringe on the enges of the scarf she just finished knitting. ENGES = ENDS + EDGES.


~Scrabulary Chris

Word of the Day for 2-4!

PHOODLES = PHOOEY + DOODLES


Ha-ha, I just said another word--phoodles.  This one needs a little explanation--when I  make a mistake or error I often say "oh doodles" and phooey is self explanatory. So while I was texting, I had hit the "send" button too soon and out of my mouth came "oh phoodles".    Anywow, I still marvel at how, since turning 40 some 13 years ago, I continue to blurt out new scrambled words.  Is it creativity, early senility, brain and speech disconnect, what?

~Scrabulary Chris

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-3

REEN = REACH + LEAN


Hey Everyone!! Swuvie here this time with today's post. The great Scrabularian was going to post this, but since it's my fault I figured I'd jump in instead!


So apparently these Scrabulary words are sinking into not just my conscious mind, but also my subconscious. Sure I've said the odd Scrabulary word every so often, but nothing compared to what I did the other night! 0.o


I was half asleep, darling Donut having just woken up and moving about the bedroom caused me to become semi-conscious. I was in that state of dreaming where you know you're in the dream so you just kinda go with it, and for some reason, in my head, I said I had to REEN over to get this real quick. And then, in that same state, I was like, hmm, reen, I had to reach over there and lean over to get that thing. Wow. I kinda woke up after that and really couldn't believe I had just said a Scrabulary word in my sleep. I figured I needed to share, in case this becomes a frequent occurance (or if someone else has done this, it's ok!! It happens!) Lol.


Scrabulary Chris had this to say:
Poor Swuvie--sorry my Scrabulary has invaded your subconcious but thanks so much for the new word!!!  :D




 Oh well, least I made her happy, even if it creeped me out!  Haha, enjoy your word of the day!!

Scrabulary Word of the Day 2-2

 ALRIGHKAY  = ALRIGHT + OKAY

While at work I was helping a customer find a product.  I led them to the shelf where the product was and pointed it out and said "Here it is, alrighkay?"  They looked at me a moment and then smiled and said thanks.  Don't know if they were trying to figure out what I had just said, or didn't hear it at all.  But I walked away chuckling and saying to myself  "Hey, new word!

It's Still Measty Out! 2-1

Yasnight, the snow and harsh wind left roads slickery, and temperatures registering in the negative digits, but we didn't get sinches of snow on the ground, hardly anything in fact.  Just the thought of going outside to go to work sent a shilver through me this morning.  So I bundled up in my cacket and headed out--brrrrrrrr, serious brrrrrrr!

Tonight's forecast calls for a high of -20 with the wind chill. Bundle up!

Look for your Scrabulary words in the comments!
