In which I was feeling crabbit

Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Isn't that a wonderful word? Scottish. It means grumpy, and I have made it a permanent addition to my vocabulary. I'm not crabbit for any particular reason beyond the dog--who thinks it's super cool to get up at 4:30 to go out--and the weather. Me and heat, not the best of pals. And since I firmly believe that happiness is a choice, I'm choosing to be happy. What turned my mood around? A wedding processional like no other. (You may have seen this couple on the Today show last week--here's the video in its entirety. Enjoy--and mazel tov to the happy couple!) Share this

What a great word--I will have to remember it when school begins again. "Let's stay quiet and focused, kids, because Ms. P is crabbit, and you don't want to cross her." That should wake them up!

I like that word...like

Thanks for the reminder about choosing happiness. It's going to be 105° in Portland today (west coast), so I choose to pretend I'm on Maui and the fan in my office is creating a tradewinds breeze.
