4th of July

We had a lovely relaxing 4th of July, after much contemplation we decided to pretty much do nothing and just hang out with family. Tracy and Eduardo graciously invited everyone over for a BBQ and we had a lovely, peaceful time - it was great. I just thought i would post some pictures of the day so you could see how cute Poppy looked (even if she did have a little bit of a 'Sailor Moon' vibe going on)

Poppy or Sailor Moon - who can tell.

Dar, Ali, Edi, and Lukey said...: I think the Sailor Moon shirt is adorable. I wish they made it in adult sizes. "Fighting evil by moonlight, chasing love by daylight, she is the one and only Sailor Moon!" Or something like that...; July 6, 2009 at 2:05 PM

Our New Favorite Word!

POPPYSMIC/pɒˈpɪzmɪk/

Produced with smacking of the lips.

"You won’t see this in your local newspaper any day soon. It comes from the Latin poppysma, via the defunct French popisme. Romans used the original for a kind of lip-smacking, clucking noise that signified satisfaction and approval. In French, it referred to the tongue-clicking tsk-tsk sound that riders use to encourage their mounts. The only writer in English known to have used our word was James Joyce, in a stage direction in Ulysses: 'FLORRY WHISPERS TO HER. WHISPERING LOVEWORDS MURMUR, LIPLAPPING LOUDLY, POPPYSMIC PLOPSLOP.'"
