METAVIVORS = METASTATIC CANCER + SURVIVORS

I am going to break one Scrabulary rule and allow a word that is a deliberate, not accidental or spoken in conversation combination of two words.  This is in honor of my son-in-law's mom who is battling metastatic cancer.  I am in awe of this woman--of her courage, her strength, her outlook and her humor.  She said in her last blog post on 08/04/15:

"Because of all the new therapies, cancer is no longer a scenario of being either 'cured' or 'dying'.  More and more, it is being treated as a 'chronic condition' of flare-ups and setbacks, so that we must keep our bodies in as good a condition as possible during stable periods so we can better withstand the next 'trip to the rodeo.'"[chemotherapy]  They've even coined a name for us.  They call us "Metavivors." AKA Surviving with Mets."

You are an inspiration to those of us who know you and/or read your blog, Dixie.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Scrabulary Word of the Day - 01-18-15 "STEEWING"

STEEWING = STEEPING + BREWING

I was trying a new tea from Trader Joe's - Coconut Green Tea w/Lemongrass & Ginger (ingredients:  green tea, lemongrass, coconut pieces, natural ginger flavor, natural coconut flavor and organic vanilla flavor).  I poured the hot water in the cup, took in the aroma and said:

"Mmmm, that tea smells good while it's steewing."

And it tasted yummy, too!

Scrabulary Word of the Day - 1-01-15 "CHOTDOG"

CHOTDOG = CHICKEN + HOTDOG

My 2 1/2 yr old grandson likes playing with pretend/plastic food.  He was preparing a meal for me and handed me a hotdog.  He pretended to be eating a chicken leg and then handed it to me.  I raised my hotdog to let him see I already had something to eat and looking at his chicken leg, I said:

"Thank you, but I already have a chotdog."

He looked at my hotdog, looked at his chicken leg and looked at me with an expression of "huh?"
