still cheating

OK, I know I've been an absent blogger. But hey. Life is like that sometimes. I haven't even read all the blogs I set out to read last week. Blame the new molars, lurking under the surface of my son's gums... blame the extra work, blame the fact that I am playing scrabble online with my best mate, I don't know... I thought this morning 'I know, I'll blog every day again for a while and make myself write about the little things, the nothing things... It'll make my Mum happy. And my Dad. And, possibly, me. Who knows?' Anyway, so all that fell to pieces tonight because, as normal, I turn into an overripe tomato around 9pm... a little mushy, a little squidgy, a few extra wrinkles... it would help if my little sweet-potato hadn't been waking up every two hours every night for the last week but there you have it. So, no words.

I leave you with this, taken in January following the delivery of a birthday card that sings 'I love to boogie, I love the nightlife' from my brother.

Ho ho ho, Hoto... how to drive my Frog absolutely barking.

Well you're doing better than me, I've been absent and feeling very guilty about it.
Life keeps taking over, but never mind that tell me how I can play Scrabble online?

Yes! Yes! How do I play scrabble on the net? I play Scrabulous on Facebook, but is there a better alternative? I could play real life scrabble with Mikael, but alas, there's no real challenge to it...bless him.

Hi Frog - oh that makes me feel better, it's not just me then!

Jennie - and Frog - sadly, it is Scrabulous in Facebook that I am playing however it's close enough. I did however have 'queeze' to go onto a triple word score and the dictionery didn't recognise it. It is, of course, a bird. If there was an official Scrabble online site, I swear I would pay for membership!

Ah-ha! Finally a new post... but one without substance!! I forgive you though, I know how it can be, to slip away for awhile and focus on something else, because after a bit, I start to wonder who really wants to hear about how much I like to eat, or what cutesy things my kids say or goodness me- my hairy coochie! :o)

Take a little break and then promise me that you'll have something more filling next time?!

You're on Facebook?! I'd play Scrabble with you. But a search turned up too many possibilities either under your name or under sparx. Did you that that there are loads of people around the world whose last name is actually Sparx? Mind you after my last fiasco on Facebook ( see http://tinyurl.com/3yrvju ) perhaps I should for forebare I mean forebear or even not play scrabble since clearly I cannot spell.

Oooh he dances too? My besty gave me a card that sang Tina Turner's "Your Simply the Best" for christmas one year (Which is much cooler and way less corny than it sounds). That was about 7 years ago and the card still sings. Poor Frog.
