Harnessing the healing power of snark
So today I was clicking through the blog posts that appeared on my Blog Rush widget, and I saw one entitled, “I can fill that bowl in six words or less” by Cardiogirl.
She is talking about the site called Free Rice. It’s a vocabulary game, and for each word you define correctly (they give you four choices to pick from) they donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger.
Word Nerds of the world, UNITE!
In the parking lot of our gym, looking at the window decals on one of the trainers’ car.
Me: Oh look, she likes the Care Bears.
My husband (looking at me a little pityingly): Um, dude, that’s a sticker for the Grateful Dead.
Last Friday was our 11th anniversary, and in honor of that event my husband gave me an extra-special present, a gift that made my heart go all a-flutter.
What was this amazing gift? Flowers, jewelry, poetry? Nope.
In honor of our anniversary he rewired the house so that I can now plug my computer directly into our Internet connection, rather than having to rely on the sometimes-spotty connection I used to get through the wireless router. And I could not be happier. As a matter of fact, when describing how enthralled I am with my very fast, very reliable Internet connection to my husband, I believe my exact words were, “This is a dream come true!”
Apparently the road to my heart runs right smack dab through the middle of my Inner Nerd.
