More Vocab

Here's a few new words I've just stumbled on:

Lambdacism
Inability to utter the "L" sound.
....so does that mean that "loser" becomes "oozer"? ewww!

Lalorrhea
An abnormal flow of words.
...I'm sure I've had this a few times.

For the last few years I have weighed myself down with commitments to all kinds of things, especially my commitment to my professional association and the groups that exist within it. In order to spend more quality time with loved ones and to allow myself time to rest in order to be active during my working day, I decided to take a step back from those duties and commitments and learn to relax and perhaps even take up some hobbies. One of those hobbies was this blog. So why can't I find the time to create an occasional blog post?!

Well, there are a number of things which have kept me from you, dear loyal readers. I guess the biggest time-stealer has been work. My work days are long and tiring. Don't get me wrong though - I still love my job - but when I get home at night I just want to crash out for the evening.

There are times when I do manage to turn on my computer at the end of my working day but this is invariably to play The Sims. Oh Lordy! I am SOOOO addicted to The Sims that Steve thinks I need therapy!

In other news, Steve and I are planning some renovations (on a mammoth scale) so that's taking up a lot of time and energy...but is really exciting too!

Speaking of mammoth, we saw Ice Age 2 at the cinema today. Damn good movie. If you want a good hearty clean laugh, see this movie.

Well that will have to do for now. Hopefully, I'll be a bit more frequent in my posts but I make no promises.
