Whaddup - G?
Guinness Girl has bestowed upon me the letter G. This is how it works: If you'd like me to assign you a letter, tell me in your comment. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.
Giddy - This word makes me happy. I tend to overuse the phrases "Giddy as a schoolgirl" and "Positively Giddy." I'm such a Goober.
Galoot - Hubby's nickname. If you've ever seen or met him, this term is self expalanatory.
Gary - Dad's name, Brother's name. Dad's best friend's name. I am surrounded by Garys (maybe the plural form is Garies?) tee hee.
Gilbert - (as in Sara Gilbert) This is the one celebrity my former roommate would VERY OFTEN say I looked like (TOO often Tom, drop it already). It must be the hair because I don't really resemble her.
Great Googily Moogily! - Ya gotta love Maggie & the Ferocious Beast. That's the most docile looking beast I've ever seen!
GOBO - Theater folk will get this right away. GOBO is a lighting term for a metal or glass template that can be inserted into a focusing fixture to project an image. The term GOBO literally means, "GOes Before Optics". (I just learned that last part) It's just a Goofy term that I like the sound of. (please excuse my hanging dangling participle)
Generic - anyone remember in the 80's when grocery stores came out with generic items? All white box, black letters, no brand name. It was actually kinda trendy for a while, then eventually suffered the same fate as "buddy" sneakers. No brand name = not cool. I guess my family was totally "not cool" - we ate generic everything for years.
Genre - This is a term used in a lot of Improv games. The actors ask the audience for a film genre for instance, to work into their routine. About 15 years ago, some friends and I went to an improv show and were asked to come up with a movie genre. My friend Tom (yes, the relentless roommate mentioned above) yells out "Elvis movie." This is met with, "that's not really a genre" from the Improv troupe. They continue to ask for genres, Tom continues to yell "ELVIS" until finally, it escalates to "GOD DAMN ELVIS!" (did I mention he's relentless?) We, of course, are half drunk and laughing our asses off by this time. We almost had to leave. But now, everytime I hear the word "genre" - "god damn elvis" pops into my brain (and give me a break - it's a genre for sure!)
Gams - My best feature. Long legs, or "gams" as they're sometimes known. Makes pants buying difficult sometimes. I love this time of year when I can wear capris!
Glasses - If you read my previous post, you know the relevance. Here's a little piccie of my daughter and her cabbage patch doll (Katie Katrina) also sporting her spectacles.
Giddy - This word makes me happy. I tend to overuse the phrases "Giddy as a schoolgirl" and "Positively Giddy." I'm such a Goober.
Galoot - Hubby's nickname. If you've ever seen or met him, this term is self expalanatory.

That was fun. Any takers? - In other news, I (and several of my friends) apparently just became legal in Oklahoma.
PGirl out.
I already got a letter from Guiness Girl, but I'm commenting to say that your daughter and cabbage patch kid are adorable!
Also, Elvis is totally a genre!

Your daughter's (and her doll's) glasses are cute.
Generic food pretty much tastes the same as the rest. There are very few things I won't buy in generic (however, baby food (when we used it) and diapers must be name brand...Don't want to mess with that...)
I'll pass on the letter, but thanks...

Yo princess. How about T? I totally remember that dish soap. Watered down, it totally sucked and didn't clean much. Remember the aqua blue kitchen and bathroom? Ugh.
