Shashinotchi...

Okay anyone that knows me well (or knew me well) knows that I just make up words. This has helped me through the years keep those frustrating moments (stubbing my toe, slamming my foot in the door, dropping the eggs on the floor, getting nailed in the head by a flying toy) PG-13 instead of Rated R. Not to say there haven't been Rated R moments, but you would be surprised at the times it has saved me some serious embarrassment. Some words that have made the cut include: freakanotchi, monkinini, snickaliscious, fluffanotchie. Feel free to go ahead and shout 'em. The equation for such words is 1 nonthreatening word + anotchie, ini or iscious = made up word. Go ahead try it.

Well it cracked me up when Oprah did the show on Schlumpadinka's. I don't watch Oprah every day but sometimes the show catches my interest. As I was watching the show I was cracking up because I was so happy to know I wasn't the only one that makes up words and I thought wow "Who are these people?"

Explanation of a schlumpadinka:


Well, since I have gotten pregnant and been extra sick, had the responsibility of being both primary president and 1rst counselor at the same time, being practically a single mom on the week ends with all of Dave's travels, single mom at baseball, co-room mom, and all other things that stress me out (that you all can do without batting an eyelash) I am afraid I am one of "those" people. So let me start over....

"Hi! My name is Stephanie Farnsworth and I am a schlumpadinka."

Wheeeew. Okay that wasn't so bad.
