Learn Something

I'm just sitting on the couch trying to think of something to write about and all I can think about is going to bed and going to sleep - and it's only 830 - I think my body might still be on TX time - or - it just wants to get in bed to snuggle under the flannel sheets! lol

So - no words of wisdom - no dramatic stories - just tired old me.

I do have an online Word A Day Calendar - here are the first 4 words of the year:
