Good one!<BR/><BR/>Angie: It does seem to happen everyday. I got up this morning and could not for the life of me remember a word that was similar to instigator. I had to look it up again. Took me almost fifteen minutes to figure it out. "Troublemaker."<BR/><BR/>"Satan's Sidekick?" Why am I not surprised. Haha!<BR/><BR/>Natalie: Ohh! I hate misspelling small words. My nemesis is rhythm, and I messed up three times right now typing it in. Also I replace simple words with others: down/done, while/will, to/too. Hate it!<BR/><BR/>Heidi: If they are brain farts, then I am stinking up my mind with them on a daily basis. Someone pass me the Beano. Haha! Thanks for reading my blog and stopping by!<BR/><BR/>Oh, as for Pipples, I needed a funny name for the dog. The cat is named Sydney Poitier for the actor. No, not Satan's Sidekick, Angie.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-810026312115990762009-02-10T11:56:00.000-05:002009-02-10T11:56:00.000-05:00I call 'em brain farts, personally.
