I just recently (and by recently, I mean really just now!) found a website and name of a book that I really want to read. 1000 Awesome Things is the name of the website (book is called The Book of Awesome) and I guess everyday it posts something awesome. I have only read a few but already love it.
Especially because it is so true!
For example: #523 When you learn a new word and then suddenly start seeing it everywhere.
Just this week that has happened to me! I was reading an article in a magazine and came across a word describing an actor who is now deceased (and I wish I could remember who but that isn't important). The word: mysogynist. Now I have heard of masochistic from the Twilight books. Poor vampire Edward likes to inflict pain upon himself by hanging out with human Bella. But mysogynist was new. Looking it up I found it meant hatred of women. (So I do wish I could remember that guy's name). Now I have been seeing it everywhere this week! Which is sad in a way. Is there really a lot of misogamy going on? Shame.
Anyway, my point is that is weird. And awesome in a strange way because now I know how to say it correctly (not miss o gom me its mi saw ga me) and now I can offended when I read it or hear it in discussion. :)
You want to know something else that is awesome? Well, I think we found a house in Tulsa! I'm no misoneist (hatred or fear of change) so I am very excited. I am already planning on what I want to do to decorate. Yes, my dictionary is open to the miso- words and I found that one. Am I misleading you to think I knew that word from the top of my mommy brain? I think I want to make some miso someday but thinking of miso makes me miss my friend Cathy, who probably would tell me that if I made miso, it would be a misplay. :) This is fun. You should try it! It is...awesome.

Hooray on the house!
The word I just learned, and now keep seeing everywhere, is "steampunk." Which is a weird word anyway.
Can you send a link with pictures to the house listing? Would love to get a preview!!!
