The Letter H : Blogging A-Z

Presenting, a fish-eye view of the sign language letter "h."

Huffffffff

Definition: Huff (adj.) The sound of a chair back padding poofing out air after a person eats an Easter feast and finally leans back to take a rest.

Eg. The truth of the matter is that she was so stressed by the time they got to Grandmas, that in the night, she secretly downed a goodly part of one of the cartons of marshmallow eggs. A couple of days later, while sitting next to her exhausted and pregnant cousin, she felt fine about the Hufffff of the chair after delighting in each bite of the home-made biscuit. No exchange of words needed.

Anyone else doing some toe-touches this morning? 🙂

DingDangDoodle! A-Z April Blogging Challenge

The sign language letter "d" from the front...

...and the sign language "d" from the back.

Made up word of the day:

DingDangDoodle

DingDangDoodleDefinition: Another way of saying, “Oh, heck.”

A-Z Blogging Challenge: Coo-CooCooCa-Coo

The Sign Language letter "c" as seen by the signer...

Made up word of the day:

Letter “c” = CooCooCooCa-Coo

Definition: The sweet sound of a mourning dove who pronounces that if we pay attention to the morning sun, all shall be well.

Eg: On a chilly morning last week, Kate heard and saw a mourning dove on her porch with a tan and puffed up chest. The dove had heard her on the other side of the window grumbling, and sang: “CooCooCooCa-Coo!” It pretty much made her day.

Oops! I Also Forgot to Mention that April is a Blurr Already

Does any one else out there have an April list of excitements that look sort of like an Etcha-Sketch scribble?

Phew.

Mine does, but for fun reasons.

1. School will be out in late May, so I have just a few more weeks of my quiet blogging days of winter.
2. This means that if I stand a chance at an hour here and there over the summer, I’d better lay some plans now.
3. I signed up for an April Writing Challenge that includes, well, you’ll see. For now, my plan is to lots of photos of hands doing sign language letters, and just one word. It’s called the A-Z challenge. I’m not going to try and win prizes, but look forward to participating as I can!
4. Track, baseball, lawn mowing, dog walking, Easter travels, and planning out summer camps and travel.
5. Phew.
6. Oh. And I committed to my men to sign myself up at the Y so, they will hear “bye!!! Food is in the cabinet…..off to meet with the trainer and run a few miles!” (shhh…, don’t tell, the real plan is:…hot tub…yoga…little bit of Zumba…are paper backs allowed in the sauna room? Can one knit and Zumba at the same time?)

All to say, that my blogging will be spotty at a minimum, with a return to the regular bat channel by May would be my hope and plan.

Peace – K.
