Happy Tuesday! Did you buy candy to hand out for Halloween or did you already end up eating all the candy you bought? Oops!
I thought I would share a new word with all of you today. I had almost shared it on Sunday’s blog post, though its not really a fact, its just a fun word. Let me know if you can pronounce it. Can you relate to the meaning of the word? I know I can at times. Enjoy the following quotes and hopefully you can relate to some of them as well!

Nuggets of Gold 
Let’s see, today you put the numbers below the pictures, but the last time, you put the numbers above the pictures. This is why I get so confused. Were you trying to fix the way you do things, only to commit verschlimmbesern?
That poor ice cream man in #2(?) is going to go broke one day. But at least he’ll have plenty of blue rocks.
I suppose you’re going to take the advice in #8(?) or #7(?) and say no to any suggestions to standardize your numbering format, without any explanation. So I won’t be like the guy in #6 or #7 and give you a bucket of advice.
#4 or #5 is for the birds.
If you’re feeling sad about your numbering system, I’ll take the advice in #9 or #10 and try not to cheer you up.
Now it’s time for a nap. I hope you won’t be like those women in #3 or #4, and you’ll let me sleep in peace.

😶🤚! Between you and Jason I went over my quota today I hope you are happy!
My numberimg system is different when I do it on the phone vs the computer. Sorry! I am not purposely trying to confuse you, than again…..! But the easy way of figuring out the number is just to count yourself. Works well…..as long as you know how to count. 😄
I would sleep with one eye open if I was you!

But if wasn’t for your “helpfulness” then Mason couldn’t get himself into the predictaments that he does. I may actually feel guilty otherwise, but nope, don’t know that feeling. Even if he did just get grabbed on a dark, stormy night. You don’t appear to feel bad for him either, so who knows what will happen!

Can’t have good Verschlimmbessern without coffee, right? 🙂 Gotta love those German compound words, with their proper capitalization, of course. Now I’ve started to wonder why English no longer capitalizes nouns in the middle of sentences — kind of like the poor insomniac wondering about dragons and candles. Oh well, at least it’s not midnight…

There is so much to wonder about when it comes to the English language! All the words that don’t follow any of the grammatical rules!

I haven’t bought any candy yet, so that I couldn’t eat it. Unfortunately, I drank all the egg nog that I bought instead.
