Helllooooo 2015!

The first day of 2015 is coming to a close. It's been another beautiful, sleep-deprived, love-filled day.  Every day is such a roller coaster of ups and downs and meltdowns and dance parties. And guess what?!  If you actually read this, you are now going to {possibly} see our everyday crazy.  I'm going to let it all hang out. My personal challenge (not resolution) is to do a post a day for 365 days. With any luck, I will have two posts a month.  Maybe I will make fifteen posts this first month, due to the excitement of it. But then the fun and re-newness of it will wear off and I will get bored or distracted and move on to one of the other billion challenges I have set for myself for 2015.  Yes, I can see how this will probably end. But, this is a new day and a new year filled with new chances.

Now on to personal challenge number 78: Use or learn a 'new' {not frequenting my daily vocabulary} word each day.  I'm going to do that here, too.  And you can't laugh at me. Or, you can, but don't be mean to me while laughing at me. Here's my word-of-the-day definition from Merriam-Webster:

pri·ma don·na

noun \ˌpri-mə-ˈdä-nə, ˌprē-\

: the main female singer in an opera company

: a person who thinks she or he is better than everyone else and who does not work well as part of a team or group

 ***

I will admit that I used to (years ago, let's just say 'years' ago) think the term was 'pre-Madonna.'  I've never been a big Madonna fan, nor could I figure out the proper context to use the term. What defines someone as 'pre-Madonna?'   No shame.

I would also like to point out that Rip made the photo collage, but Abe - poor, fluffy, little, poopy faced Abe, did not.  Why not post a picture of possibly the most adorable little furball to exist? (I might be biased, but if you heard the things I call that sweet little beast, you might believe I think otherwise.)  Because he has a POOPY PUPPY FACE! His most favorite recreational pass-time is poop eating.  And the little turd (pun intended) has taught the other dog in the house the art of poop eating.  Rip is old enough to listen to the command to not lick me, so I dare get close to him with my camera.  But Abe...well, that's a risk I don't want to take.  Brings a more literal meaning to the term 'shit faced,' doesn't it?

HAPPY POO NEW YEAR!
