Word For The Day, Monday, 12/12/11



In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

ephemeral;adj.

1. lasting a very short time; short-lived; transitory: the ephemeral joys of childhood. 2. lasting but one day: an ephemeral flower

Etymology: C16: from Greek ephēmeros lasting only a day, from hēmera day]

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

VRWCboy was born at home using natural childbirth (actually he was just in such a hurry that he headed out as soon as the EMT arrived at the house) so MrsVRWC did not get an ephemeral during the procedure.

While in the Burgh, xsjr and i snapped up a stuffed malkin for xsteen for christmas. i was perplexed about what to get for my friend paula, who told me that she got me the Caps and Canines calendar for me for christmas. then i thought of the stuffed crosby and ordered it online just now

his lips aren't nearly big enough to be true to life. i will also include some large hatpins... : )

and yes, i know poor eggshell capt is out with his poor eggshell head, but i don't really believe in voodoo anyway...

Too late for Christmas delivery, but you can get an ornament made out of the Civic Arena’s roof.

A chef was having a ball
Thinking he was better than all
Then along came Lagasse
A class act was he
And the chef said, “ef emeril!”

Last time I had an EKG on my heart, there was a faulty lead, and my Doctor feared I had an ephemeral artery and was about to shuffle off the mortal coil. And I tell you, for a moment there, I thought I was gonna coil.

Xsteen made xshub a jersey shore bday card for his bday which was yesterday, it was hilarious. Complete with a papa snooks soundalike name for him. She makes the best homemade cards.

It is 53 and drizzling, but we need the rain, so that is great. I’m out of work for the day, stopped at the deli on the way home to get a small turkey and cheese on wholewheat sub for late lunch/early dinner, so now I’ve eaten enough and don’t want any more food today. I’m going to feed Husky girl and the cats, light candles and a fire and curl up on my recliner to read my book and watch the last two episodes of “Pillars of the Earth” when it comes on later...

Let’s hope the Obamas’ occupation
Is ephemeral at the very least-
There is no way we can continue
To feed their ravenous ego beast

Obama has gone campaigning again
Selling his millionaire’s tax-
And we all get screwed for Christmas
While Michelle leads jumping jacks

I hope that next year’s election
Rejects the Obamas’ indulgent ways-
And sweeps them out just like Carter
Thereby ending our current malaise

What is the misery index up to now, anyway?

Sasha looked perfectly adorable in a lavender frock, while Malia radiated in a yellow satin Mabel dress by Elizabeth and James complete with bell sleeves and a gold necklace.

Yellow has been popping up everywhere this season, so it was no surprise to see that Malia was dressed in the bold hue. The 13-year-old has been spotting in several fashion forward outfits lately and is quickly becoming one of our favorite style gals to watch.

And before getting dolled up for the concert, Malia attended Sunday Mass with her family in a pink coat with white detailing that was pulled together with matching plum colored tights and gloves (a true veteran fashionista move).

Here's a look at Malia's uber-stylish ensembles yesterday and all the stars who have stepped out in yellow this season.

oh, gag me.......
