Oh funny.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

My god today is dragging. I've got another 4 hours to go. Blah.
I'm trying to subtly find out more about it--no dice.

That happened to me a bunch of times, ita. Including, I think, my current company.

I feel like slippers are a slightly weird (warm) gift in August
Huh, I'm almost always barefoot (SoCal), so I only associate them with emotional warmth. But you probably have a point. Well, I'm just throwing out suggestions (because I'm a Helper, not Avoiding Work. Nope, that's not it at all.)

Difference between ita and me? She makes this look good.

Turns out Xyla is a Greek name meaning "Of the wooded land".
Of course, I learned this via someone correcting her father who said he believed it was a made up name. Hilarious.

My nephew has a daughter named Azlyn (but doesn't play scrabble that I'm aware of). He said he knew a girl in HS with the name, but they changed the spelling, so I'm pretty sure it's a corruption of the Irish name Aisling.

I'm pretty sure in this case it just means it was the mom's pick.

Are they pronouncing it Hi-la? I need my Greek speaking uncle here to help me a bit, but the X at the beginning should sound like an H, I think.
Then again, we mispronounce my K's Greek name on purpose, so don't listen to me.
Oh, where's Sox: speaking of our Greek speaking uncle. When K saw him this time she said, "He looks like Grandpa but he talks a lot more."

It's why a xylophone has wooden keys (xylophone = "wood-voice").

Cool. I have learned something new today so I can goof off the rest of the day.
