Three weird things I do:

• I have an inflated sense of “luckiness“.  Really.  For the longest time, almost every time I entered a drawing at a school or community event, I’d win.  One time I went to watch my friend’s daughter perform in community theater and I told her, matter-of-factly, that I’d win the basket drawing and give it to her and her daughters.  She said she NEVER wins so she didn’t think I’d win, just by proximity of her bad luck.  I smiled confidently and said to

I must blame a little bit of my Scrabble addiction on my sister & brother-in-law. 🙂  A couple of  summers ago, when I visited them in Florida, we played Scrabble almost every day.  It was such a blast, too, because my brother-in-law invents his own little rules and we were stupid enough to agree to them, after a couple glasses of wine. I hadn’t played my all-time favorite board game in ages and playing it again re-ignited my old flame.  (I used to play it as late as high school, with a scrabble dictionary on hand.)   It was so nice to indulge in a game with others, who loved it as much as I did.   At home, I have to practically beg my hubby & kids to play it.

A few weeks after I came home, I discovered…..Facebook has SCRABBLE! Woohoo! I think I found it accidently…honestly, I don’t remember. Of course, my sister (at the time) and her hubby were not on FB. I asked other friends to play, but alas, they were just not into it. What was a Scrabble addict to do? I posted on the Scrabble discussion board that I needed a Scrabble buddy and…YEAY!

Now, I have so many scrabble games going on at once that it takes a few days to complete them.  Not only have I learned a lot of interesting new words  — who knew there were so many two-letter words? —  but I’ve also made new friends around the country.  Love it!!
