excuse not to clean house.
Fun Monday: Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Do I have a favorite word? Probably millions. But this one came to mind - and was already waiting for you to listen. (I'd used it nine months ago when Fun Monday presented favorite T-shirts.)
ROFLMAO!!! That video is GREAT! You had ma laughing so hard :) Great word, Pamela, great word!

So is this a place...or does it mean something? Im dying to know -- but it looks like a place. Although I could probably think up alot of meanings for this one. I could say this when I walk into a room and forget why I went in there in the first place.
I'm so glad you included the audio - but I still can't say it!

I tried saying it, before listening. Wow! I was way off!
Mine is weeedoggies, with a long O sound. I probably say it far too often. It may have something to do with the early influence of The Beverly Hillbillies and Jed Clampett. I think that was his favorite too!
Your t-shirt word reminds me of one I got when I bicycled down Haleakala on Maui about 7 years ago … something I enjoyed but would never do again. ‘Kewl’ choice for today’s challenge. Fun post today ;--) Hugs and blessings,
You will have to make me your home made pie or give me recipe and let me try. It sounds good! I really need to go check out Chris B's butter bean recipe. Thank you bunches!
I wasn't going to comment on this post since I'm late in commenting but I was playing the video and trying to say the word when my daughter went by the office. She stopped and asked what I was saying. When I told her and then showed her your video she told me I wasn't even remotely close to saying it right. "E for Effort though mom." Hey, I'll take it :o)
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of...
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...
Please join me next Monday as I host this weeks Fun. The subject: Show me in pictures or tell me in words what defines the place where you live. I want to leave the interpretation open to include any possibility. It could be a geographical phenomenon. For instance, when I was a child, the people who lived on our sloping hill could view the Olympic Mountain to the northwest and the majestic Mt. Rainier to the south east. It could be a man made monstrosity. Do you come home from a trip and the shadow of a skyscraper beckons you. Has the wind blowing from the feed lot given your small town a dusty or smelly reputation? Is there a college or university close by that seasonally changes the way your world operates? Or maybe a winter influx of retired snowbirds? Could it be the house at the left turn to the grocery store has turned into a junk yard? Did a famous person put your town on the map? Is there something about your neighborhood that makes it unique. Good or bad. I'm looking ...

Except I didn't have the "kuapua" part on the end before.
