Word Up

So, my dear friend recently invited me to play the Zynga game "Words With Friends" on Facebook. Fancying myself a bit of a word guru...is that a wuru.... I thought it might be good fun and possibly a way to remind myself of some words with Dee possibilities.

I think my first word entry was around 4:30 pm that first day. My friend, apparently having much more fun than I this week-end, responded with her first word around 7:00 pm. What am I missing? What I thought would be a lively back and forth brain teaser with a good friend seems to be instead mostly me playing with myself. Ooops....for someone pretty good with words, that last sentence needs work. But, if you play this game, you know what I mean. Either that or I am most "dee-cidedly" missing something.

The crossword game is great....but I find my thoroughly inquisitive self wondering just what my friend is up to that keeps her from responding to my words. Is she with a client? Not fair if she is and I am not! Is she at the movies? Did she get an offer too good to be true for dinner? Just what could she be doing that keeps her from such an important competition?

I may be too nosy for this game. Or maybe just too impatient. Or both. I am so full of .....of words. (You thought I was going somewhere else with that, right?) But my playing partner can't get back to me fast enough for me to use them.

And then her words.....they are just so much more fun that mine. I have recipe and axle. She has broad and yeah and something else that just said fun to me. Where does she get those fun letters? I did come up with food but then couldn't bring myself to build on the obvious fa-t, even though that gassy follow up to food might have given me 30 points. I do have standards to uphold, even in this game. I did manage to use the letter 'z' in one of my favorite words gaze. That was a nice one, if I do say so myself.

The jury is still out on Words With Friends. I am just glad to be able to call this one who invited me f_r_i_e_n_d.
