I feel like the things I say aren't listened to, the things I write aren't read.
And my funny bone is MIA.
And then, just when I'm getting a real good pity party going, I find out that dictionary.com has a FREE iPHONE APP!! This is waaaaaay exciting to a girl fascinated with dictionaries!! :-)

You know, I think you would appreciate the following Synonym a Day blog There are daily posts of common words with queachy (hey, does using it in a sentence count? lol! queachy - uncommon or out of the ordinary) synonyms and usage examples that are quite entertaining. They are based on Peter E. Meltzer's "The Thinker's Thesaurus - Sophisticated Alternatives to Common Words"! If you can imagine a thesaurus being entertaining, while still being informative and fascinating (especially if you're a word hound like me) this is it.
Well, I won't hold my breath for either prize on this one, but thanks for getting my brain going this evening!
