5 Things Meme

It's been a while since I've done a meme. Thanks to BlackeyedSue for tagging me!

5 things I was doing 10 years ago

1. Guapo and I had just celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary.

2. Guapo and I had just announced that I was expecting our first baby!

3. I was starting my 2nd year of my master's program at BYU.

4. I had to tell my professor I was pregnant and therefore didn't want to go to Bolivia with him to do field research (using the pregnancy as an excuse-really I was afraid to go to South America-little did I know what my life held in store for me!!!)

5. We were living in the basement of a house owned by Guapo's family-with 6 single guy renters above us. A little icky.

Definition Meme

I thought I was immune to the most recent rash of memes, but leave it to my best-online-friend, No Cool Story to include me in the fun! She supplied me with the following words and I was to supply the definitions. Here you go!

soubrette- a delicious chilled French dessert that is typically only eaten during the celebration of Bastille Day (July 14th).

Saponaceous- Relating to the release of frog eggs as in, "the saponaceous fluid surrounds and protects the eggs the first six hours after release".

palimpsest- a common abrasion found on the tongue due to eating way too much candy, more specifically, way too many candy corns.


Xowyg- I have no clue what this real or made up word means. I am hoping it's real because I'm going to use it the next time I clean Guapo's clock at Scrabble.

(This is NOT Guapo, but it is how he feels when we are playing Scrabble!)

Does anyone else want to play? Let me know in the comments and I'll give you some words.
