jabberwacky: beautiful

Since we haven’t Jabberwackyed in a while, here’s a refresher on how this works.

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments.

  • Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.

  • You can challenge the preceding commenter to explain if you don’t understand the connection they made when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, take time to explain it.)

  • The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.



Starter word: beautiful (compliments of Melissita over at Nature Girl)

  138. faithstart says:

    what????
    oh i just got that. Nope I got me some “lizard” already today! i’m good in that department!

  139. Brandy says:

    @ngie doesn’t like rice and beans?!?! oh dear. oh. dear.

    for some reason when I read milktart I think milkfart. I don’t know why. And it’s gross.

    says:

    g&g – beans are not a big thing in this country and actually potatoes are a bigger deal than rice. When we were in Costa Rica for a month they served us beans and rice everyday for breakfast and p.b.&j. for lunch. I couldn’t figure out why I was puking every day until the last few days of the trip I found out I was pregnant with our for child. (totally off topic – but Charlene might remember that). So now beans and rice are just yucky to even think about.

  144. Brandy says:

    did faith get mid day lizzard?! (why are we spelling it with two z’s tonight? Now I’m confused.)

    Alece, we need to exchange recipes. Or not. You could just give me yours. Or whatever. I’m sure there’s no bitter in your milktart. HAHAHA!!

  154. Brandy says:

    milktert is worse than milktart. just sayin’. I live with boys. My mind goes there. *sigh*

    And it looks gross. Like custard. Which I can’t eat. *blech*

  155. what the tart or the lizard

  156. faithstart says:

    HAHAHA!! Well it’s not like this every day! oh and AB MY kid happens to be a blast of fun! I will let you know if it changes though

  157. brandy — never judge a tart by the looks

    i preached once at a big event or church .. can’t remember but i preached about us livng like the son who left home and so now he has nothing and so on…i then went on to get everybody like fired up like u preachers do and then shouted …. “it is time to get out of the pig sty!”

    but i said “pigsh!t”

    no joke i felt like pig sty stuff…

    never preached that again

  211. Brandy says:

    I love Jesus.

    I like to drink.

    My favorite swear word is the S word. It’s a family trait that I swear is genetic.

    And I don’t always act like a good Christian. Especially when I’m mad and bitter. LOL!

    off to put bad boys to bed now. ;-)

  217. faithstart says:

    we just heard in church today that confessing that you have a weakness is good, that way God can use that weakness for His glory to help others.

    There has been some not-so-nice talk floating around – - – so, yes, I know that they were judging…. but that doesn’t give me the right to stoop to their level.

  241. faithstart says:

    1225 lbs!! thats 1100 more than me!!! give or take a few!!

  242. Brandy says:

    Niel said pigsh!t.

    Don’t we all judge to some degree? My WORST worst worst is that I judge b/c I *think* “they” are judging me. “They” being anyone I feel nervous around or intimidated by. It sucks. And I rarely have such low self confidence, unless it’s someone I really want to be friends with. y/k? I hate being human. Sometimes.

  243. Heidi
    @
    says:

    Very true… But I think it’s human nature…. I’m not giving permission, but I think like cussing it’s human nature. It’s how we control it.

    do you think??

  244. Brandy says:

    Faith you only weigh 125lbs?

    I hate you.

    In an “I like you” sort of way. heehee

  245. faithstart says:

    Brandy are your boys down now?

  246. Jen says:

    this is pretty interesting, but unfortunately the melatonin has kicked in (or maybe it’s a good thing depending on your point of view).

    Either way… Good night.

  247. Brandy says:

    Yes Haydee. I agree.

    I always worry about what others’ perception of me is. I hate that. It annoys me.

  248. Brandy says:

    Faith dear, yes they are down. And they went with a fight. I hate bedtime. That’s why Jake normally does it. I did it though since the “staying up late” was my idea. :/

  249. faithstart says:

    no 129!! so dont hate me! i’m on a diet so it’s not like im a skinny bitch (ooops) who is just skinny by nature, I hate them! (no not really!)

  251. @ngie

    says:

    My deal is…

    why do I put so much weight in the words of critics?

    and yet when I receive compliments I try to play them down?

  252. Brandy says:

    AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I LITERALLY just gasped and then burst out laughing. OH MY GOSH!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

  253. faithstart says:

    Heidi i think you are so right!

  254. Brandy says:

    @ngie, that is something I think about alll the time.

    For instance, Jake is always always telling me I look (insert compliment here) and I always always roll my eyes and even sometimes get mad. Why? Why do I do that?

    And the words of critics…. are sometimes my own words coming from someone else. It’s like they’ve said what I already think about myself. ugh.

  255. faithstart says:

    Angie I think you are such a great woman for recognizing your fault. and your point is a good one. when you get a compliment keep it in your thoughts for a while!

  256. Heidi
    @
    says:

    WHoa….

    I dunno… I have a real problem with compliments, I become sarcastic to shy away from them.

    But with criticism I hide in a corner

  257. Brandy says:

    Faith, after three kids I will never weigh 129! ha!!

  258. Brandy says:

    criticism makes me lash out. it’s not nice.

  259. faithstart says:

    me too. But later when im alone I feel good about the compliment and savor it. i think it might have to do with how we are raised. did your parents give compliments to you?

  260. @ngie

    says:

    I lash out in my mind as a delayed reaction.

    says:

    I don’t lash until I’ve had enough

  263. faithstart says:

    wel i though i would never weigh this little again! it was work but now that i have lost it, it seems easy to keep off with the guide lines from weight watchers. I am so happy i did it too! (and so is dan, hehe)

  264. Brandy says:

    all the time.

    but when Jake does it, I haven’t showered all day, I have no makeup on, I’m wearing cut off sweats and a t-shirt that has food or paint or spit on it, and I’m gross. So I never believe him and I think he’s lying. But when *I* feel good about how I look, I love his compliments. *shrug*

  265. Brandy says:

    I lash when I feel attacked. I only feel attacked when it’s something near and dear to me…. like criticism of how I parent, what kind of wife I am, what kind of homemaker I am…..basically all things I am not confident about already.

  266. @ngie
    @
    says:

    Good point Brandy about being in agreement about the compliments when you are feeling good about yourself

  267. faithstart says:

    ME TOO Brandy!! Dan does the same thin and I finally yelled at him to quit calling me sexy when im not! HAHA what horrible husband’s we have!

  268. Brandy says:

    I feel like he’s lying when I KNOW I look bad and he compliments me. Lying or asking for something. HA!!
    It annoys me.

    Hey – Brandy – did you get your prize yet?

  270. faithstart says:

    ya i get the asking thing, hehe and thats when your not in the mood, when your all dirty from the day. Right?

  271. Brandy says:

    Yes @angie I did! I posted about it, but I think ALece is going to post about it too. ;-)

  272. Brandy says:

    Faith, absofreakinlutely right!

  273. dude and then miss heidi over here loathe certain things on her new blog and i tell you judging is the name of her game… you guys should check it out..

    giving grace and permission and then judging those who forgot to restock the paper at the toilet is a bit ….what can i say … rough…

    anyway i think judging stuff isnt that bad .. judging people is healthy sometimes…

    it is when we stop loving them because of the judgement …therefore just to be clear … even though i judge you guys for blogging … i love you all like my man jesus….

  274. alece says:

    angie, you hit it on the head with your comment:

    “why do I put so much weight in the words of critics? and yet when I receive compliments I try to play them down?”

    that’s me, too.

  275. faithstart says:

    ok dan needs the computer now and I am starving. Love to you all! It’s been great chatting again! night

  276. Brandy says:

    where did AB and Alece go?

    like the the eight pound six ounce baby Jesus? :-)

    And that was the main point of the discussion: when is it ok / necessary to judge and when is it unacceptable.

  279. Brandy says:

    eesh.

    I’d like to hear someone’s answer to that. My own answer wouldn’t make sense outside of my head!

    @ngie, when you NEED A HEALTHY role model to look up too or when you judge your son’s choice of a girlfriend .

  283. just so you ladies know i think it is ok for men to say nice things to their ladies when they dont look like they just came from their anniversery dinner and so on.. sometimes we even like you in those day s you dont feel we should and then we still want to compliment you … tell you you are beautifull and so on…never understood the whole thing anyway ….woman says you should talk and tell them how nice they look and so on and that puts them in the mood and then like now they say why do thye say stuff just to get us in the mood?????how else do we get you in the moo for lizardboochin

  284. Lizardlyhuggaboochinassnasty

    3rd word for you

  285. Brandy says:

    AB: here’s the thing…. I’m gross. I haven’t showered all day. I’m still in my jams. I’ve been SICK sick allll weekend. I don’t even look like myself. And yet he STILL says “honey you’re hot!” when clearly I’m not. CLEARLY. It feels patronizing.

    What would get me in “the mood” on days like that would be if he said “go take a hot bath, I’ve got dinner cleanup and bedtime” or “why don’t you lock yourself in your room for a while and do whatever you want” or “is there anything you want me to do?”

    Yes. THOSE things would get me in the mood for lizardboochin.

    ‘night, angie!

  294. faithstart says:

    ok im back
    and i do think we are to hard on our men. they never know what to do with us!

  295. Brandy says:

    Haydee….Once Aidan told me I looked like a butterfly when I tried a dress on at the store. I bought the dress. I don’t know where I’ll wear it. But I know he thinks I look like a butterfly in it. :D

  296. ok makes sense on the can i help thing and please go lock your self in a room or please go take a shower ….
    but still we are a little slow in saying or asking the right thing and so we are also people of habbit .. meaning if it worked last time why not this time … so when it worked last time to give flowers and then get the lizardboochinass then guess what we as men think it will always work … i am personally always a bit in the darkness on what is really the signs of good times…. i understand that it takes more than the same thing but why cant we just ask .. hey what do you need me to do or say so you can be in the mood ???

    not judging .. just saying and asking

  297. Heidi

  298. heidi .. i dont think me running up to alece and grabing her leg is going to work for me….

  299. faithstart says:

    ab that is funny! i think if you put it that blunt , you might never get layed!

  300. Brandy says:

    Oh AB I would love to answer this:

    hey what do you need me to do or say so you can be in the mood ???

    Why do you (men in general) ONLY want to say/do these things in order to get us (wives) in the mood? Why can’t it be just to make us feel good about ourselves? or to give us a break? or to show us that you care about our mental well being?

    I think what IRKS me the most is it (it being anything nice or complimentary) only gets said/done in order to receive something.

    follow?

  301. Brandy says:

    Faith you make me BLURT with laughter all the time. oh my gosh! hahahahaha!!!!!!

  302. Brandy says:

    has AB never heard the term “get layed?”
    *SHOCK*

  303. faithstart says:

    oh i bet he is nice because he loves you too, but they just always want sex too

  304. alece says:

    YES YES YES! that’s what i was going to say, brandy. i want my AB to tell me beautiful, wonderful, encouraging, TRUE things just because i deserve them. if and when i do.

    that should be totally separate than trying to get me in the mood.

    and i don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a conversation with your spouse about what helps them get in the mood.

  305. Brandy says:

    while you ponder my question AB, I’m putting the Big O to bed.

    be back!

  306. faithstart says:

    thats blunt talk for huggabuching

  307. Brandy says:

    No there’s nothing wrong with the conversation, but when we’ve had said conversation a MILLION times and it still doesn’t happen, reverting to the old lazy ways isn’t gettin ya anywhere either.

    okay, off to put Mr O in bed. I swear.

  308. faithstart says:

    men are just a little slow, brandy!

  309. faithstart says:

    or at least that the lie i tell myself sometimes to keep from going crazy! “he can’t help it, hes slow!” or something like that

  312. STOP JUDGING ME.. in the voice of raymond barone

    ok yes i agree we … the dence generation of men should maybe think of it more often to be in the compliment department without making it work for us department but i am just wondering how it will look if the roles are reverged ..

    i am wondering what the ladies are doing the whole time to make us sing hallelujah
