When I decided to take on the role as a “pet parent” at the apex of my independent 50’s, I thought “are you nuts?”
When I decided to “do it with two” I asked myself “are you crazy?”
But the morning after I signed up for blogging from A to Z for the entire month of April I ran around the house screaming “ARE YOU INSANE?”
That’s right, six days a week, for several weeks, I’ve agreed to participate in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge…
The A to Z Challenge is B.Y.O.B. – Bring your own blog!
It’s an alphabet pawty that welcomes bloggers (all subject matters) to a 26 day marathon filled with entertainment, socializing, and learning. Its huge – how huge? – really huge. This week I saw over 1,700 participating bloggers listed and ready to go!!! #truestories
For us (the bloggers) the challenge is to post every day (except Sunday), read, meet, and bond with at least 5 different posts daily, and make it to the end of the month – Whew!
For you (the reader) the challenge is to simply “hang” with me and The Boys for the entire month!
Let me share our calendar with the dates and corresponding letters…
Now, what’s our theme?
I wanted to have some fun with the alphabet. Why not uncover new words and try to incorporate them into our vocabulary? How pawfect and pawsome would that be with the “Doodle Brother’s” as our Professors?
Presenting…
So, early in the morning, Monday through Saturday, we will sneak into your inbox. We’ll be brief – that’s a pawmise! We’ll introduce a brand new word everyday (hopefully one you’ve never thought to use before).
We’ll provide:
- the definition
- the pronunciation
- the tense
AND
- one photo of The Boys depicting a sentence/phrase to connect with the definition
We’ve gone deep into Mr. Webster’s brainchild – burning the midnight oil – in hopes of finding words that are real DIVERGENT (A-HA, that was once my “D” word for April 4th)…
So, follow along, and hang out with us. “Share” if you’re able to incorporate the word or two into your lifestyle. We’d love to hear about it. If you’ve got any questions – feel free to ask, we’re in this together 🙂
In the event you miss a few days, no worries, glance over at “Categories” to the right of the website – and get caught up there (look under Blogging from A to Z).
Advance barks, licks, and tail wags for all the encouragement, patience, and participation during this challenge.
On your mark, get set……
