Fun Monday Challenge for 3/17
Hidey ho folks! I'm hosting Fun Monday for St. Paddy's day. I have to admit I blatantly stole this idea from Sandy (the first challenge). Your challenge(s), should you choose to accept (choose one or both):
1.) I don't know about you, but my family is great at creating strange words that only we know the meaning. Some were created when the kids were first learning to talk, others came about when our tongues were twisted and the word came out funny. Either way, the words stuck and we still use them in our daily conversations. What created words does your family use?! Please share the story behind the word if you remember. If you don't have a made up word then tell us about the unspoken way you communicate with someone. Do you and your significant other have a look that means "This party is boring, lets split" or do you have a look that your kids know means their butt is in serious trouble? Please share!! And a picture of the look would be very entertaining!
OR/AND
2.) In honor of St. Paddy's Day, please share your worst green beer story!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I am still reading. I just have nothing to say! I'm not a Fun Monday-er and I don't watch Idol..
Lol

Okay - I'm going to share my worst beer story ever and I'm going to make everyone gross out and never want to read my blog again. It will all be your fault, Nikki! Sign me up

Sign me up, though I have no clue what I'm going to do, even with 2 options!!I'll end up pulling something out of you know where at the last minute!!
IDOL!: yes, I agree with your goods and your bads. I also liked Brooke and Jason.
I hope Kristy Lee Cook is going home because she made me throw up a little in my mouth singing a Beatles song country style. That was SO WRONG. Someone should make that illegal.
If the redneck country fans represented last night then I think it might be Ramiele. I am so glad I record Idol on the DVR...I fast fwd through the majority of Kristy's performance. If it weren't for the DVR I wouldn't even watch IDOL. Especially the results show. I wait until it is 35 minutes in before I start to watch so I can fast fwd through all the BS!!

I'm in.
The country with the Beatles? Truly heinous.
Posted by: Lisa | March 12, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Drat. I already posted this. And, I don't watch Idol. Sigh. I'm just a loser. And, as I find beer to be repellent, I'm just sol.

Sign me up, please, Nikki and thanks for hosting.
Posted by: Sandy | March 12, 2008 at 05:46 PM
Oh am I out of the loop - I'll not say what I thought "Idol Watchers" were but it wasn't those who watch a TV show.
Like other's not sure where I will go but I will give it a go

Posted by: Arkansas Songbird | March 12, 2008 at 09:59 PM
Well, I suppose I should sign up. I need a purpose in my life and Fun Monday might just be it. Or it could be sleep. A toss up. Thanks! NLM

Sign me up please Nikki. Although I'm really going to have to play lightly by your rules. I can do Irish though, so maybe that will be okay for St Paddy's Day.
Posted by: Faye | March 13, 2008 at 01:38 AM
I'm going to think about this one... I'll be back to let you know. Right now I can't think in more then two syllables. Brain fart.
