The number ten
This post is brought to you by the number ten.
Ten words that don’t exist in the English language (but we say them anyway):
1–expecially
2–irrelevant
3–unthaw
4–supposebly
5–pronounciation
6–excape
7–excetera
8–Febyuary
9–heighth
10–jewlery
Ten things to do when it rains (among other things):
1–listen
2–bake
3–read a book
4–watch the debate
5–color
6–write
7–plan
8–jump in puddles
9–eat soup from a bowl made out of bread
10–type
Ten of my favorite words to say:
1–chimichanga
2–honorificabilitudinitatibus (How is that not a bright spot in your day?)
3–recapitulate
4–reciprocity
5–discombobulated
6–plethora
7–elocution
8–purposefully
9–delightful
10–surreptitiously
There will be a test.
Ten things I’m grateful for:
1–electricity
2–dictionaries
3–second, third and fourth chances
4–rain
5–large cardboard boxes
6–opportunities
7–the delete key
8–consistency
9–people
10–lemon water
And–the actual factual reason I thought to say anything about the number ten in the first place is (tun-tun-tun-tah):
I finished ten projects today.
Which means (roughly translated) that the ‘give-away’ box has more in it–and–the ‘sell-on-ebay’ pile is higher.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Happy Squawk-tober 22.
