Word of the Day

Irascible

adjective

Etymology: Middle French, from Late Latin irascibilis, from Latin irasci to become angry, be angry, from ira

Date: circa 1530

 

The Irascibles were a group of Artists protesting an Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum.

Who are new Irascibles? I admit that there is plenty to be angry about but where should the anger be directed and to what good?

Palindromes

A Lovely twist of words, and I am in love with this simple yet at times complex wordplay - art form! Just a few more and then I will try and hold off until the next palindrome day, 11/02/2011. I guess it should be noted that you have to use the month/day/year format for this to work, I have yet to find it calculated for day/month/year format.

Gossip

Every now and Again, I wish I was blogging about life in a way that made it seem like, The Real Wives, or Desperate House Wives, or that I am some old Cougar waiting to pounce. Writing steamy articles about the single guy next door, bitching about where my life has gone, the kids drive me crazy, is this all there is, has my life been reduced to that of a taxi driver? Believe me, I thought about getting my hack license or working at the post office. Lucky for you I'd rather sit at home and while away the days at my computer.

Alas, I am the Wide Awake Momma, and that is lucky for you. Making art, attempting to teach my children more than the schools impart on them and happily sitting at my computer while away the days blogging, tweeting and facebooking.
The regular characters in this blog are:
