Today is spoonerism day and the radio station was asking about our favorite spoonerism (You know, when you reverse letters or parts of words). I recall times when spoonerisms have had me rolling on the floor but I can't recall the details of any of those mishaps. I do recall with great affection the spoonerism that occurred on my cousin Tara's wedding day. After Daryl and Tara's wedding, my uncle stood to invite everyone to the reception by saying "Taryl and Dara would love to have you join them...." The audience hee hawed and the nickname stuck. To this day, when we refer to them as a collective, it's "Taryl".

What's your favorite Spoonerism?

Still no news from the northern-most front. CG and CE are fine with me but J is still maintaining a stony silence. Maybe he means to follow through on his threat this time and our friendship doesn't mean as much to him as I thought. But I honestly think he's busy and he's being stubborn. That's fine. No one can out stubborn me. If I don't hear from him and at least get an explanation, then I'm not going to visit. I'm tired of being the one that has to ignore what happened or even apologize when the situation cuts both ways. My current plan is to go up and visit with Cheryl, Rick, Carla and Kit on Saturday and stay through Tuesday. If I hear from J, then on Wednesday I will go that direction and stay till Saturday, or they kick me out. ;>) If I don't hear from J. I'll come home on Tuesday. There is plans for lots of fighting and I know J wanted to get together to do some fighting but I can't make arrangements with him without talking. *sigh* All I wanted was for CG and J to talk but somehow that got translated as taking sides with CG. I don't know how, I certainly never intimated that I was, I simply said they needed to talk and asked to stay out of the middle. At which point the accusations and threats started. Hmmm. I wonder if he archives his IM and can re-read what I wrote when he calms down. But then if he's determined to be offended he might do the same thing all over, although I really have NO IDEA how he came up with his theory. Yes CG and I were offended by something CE said and we needed to talk to J and CE about it. I did, I'm fine but CG had not had that opportunity and other things kept piling on the misunderstanding. Was CG rude to CE when she called? Perhaps? But CG was in a sit down meeting at work and the call was an interruption that had to be brief. Would that explain it? I don't know; I didn't hear the conversation. Was CG upset, certainly. From her perception, every interaction she has had with J has been through the filter of CE recently and she doesn't have any background to know why. It's probably all been circumstantial but again I don't know. I can't take sides in an argument I haven't been involved with. I can see both sides but I can't see how they interacted to cause this large a misunderstanding. Please, try to see each others sides and stop being offended long enough to listen.

This weather sucks! I think I've taken showers drier than this.
It's completely overcast and 96 degrees. It feels like the sky is trying to push me into the ground. Gross! And no AC anywhere to be found once I left work. *sigh* The house is marginally cooler but still muggy.
