Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
prosaic
adj ;pro·sai·cal·ly adv. ; pro·saic·ness n.
1: not fanciful or imaginative; "local guides describe the history of various places in matter-of-fact tones"; "a prosaic and unimaginative essay" [syn: matter-of-fact] 2: lacking wit or imagination; "a pedestrian movie plot" [syn: pedestrian, prosy, earthbound] 3: not challenging; dull and lacking excitement; "an unglamorous job greasing engines" [syn: commonplace, humdrum, unglamorous, unglamourous]

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....
It was a home frosting job gone wrong that caused me to have my hair colored at the salon the first time.........sigh.
First thing I did was pull far too much hair through the cap. Second thing I did wrong was answer the door when friend showed up. We got talking and having a couple of beers (it was a Friday night) and I forgot the time. Not only was the majority of my hair white........it had the texture of straw.
New business model.
I think it was XS or LE that used that phrase a week or so ago.
I wouldn't know.....I lived at home when I was in college.
The closest I have ever come to having room mates was a school ski trip when I was 16 and CPAC last year.
SUN IN absolutely NEVER worked for me....and I was born a blond, and was blonde until I was about 4 or 5.
My mother and I tried all of those things.........sun In, peroxide, lemon juice.......you name it. Finally she gave up and just got a frosting kit and did it for me.....and then we waited for the wrath of daddy to come down. It never happened, because he didn't notice it.
You two..................
And I need to know this......exactly why?????????
Interestingly, the same dang thing just happened to Chris. He turned 10, yesterday.
Too much "girl-talk" in this sorority today.
Sun In made my hair orange as well.
Sounds pretty!!
It's just because last week we discovered that our cycles are synched up. Animals in the wild do that too. Now we are coloring our hair at the same time.
Stamos is good-looking but he's a player. (trivia time - did you know he played drums with the Beach Boys?) Rumor had it he and the wife were open to many things, IYCMD.
eeeeeweeee. TMI, ladies.
Gosh, thanks for all the warm fuzzies but it was T5. And now thanks to her, I have an earworm. :(
The CBS's Rathergate Report was particularly prosaic!
Happy Birthday, Chris.
;)
OK - I told him - he got it........I still don't. But I don't care.
I was...um...compensating for something. I mean, I just bought a 75-foot, $500 auger...
