This Post is Brought to You By the Letter T
May 24, 2006
Write ten words beginning with the letter you’ve been given. Include an explanation of what each word means to you and why. If you want to play, ask for a letter in comments. I’ll issue you a letter. TNChick gave me the letter T.
- Tiny – For reasons I can’t explain, this word makes me smile. Maybe it’s because it makes me think of my son’s feet when they were little, and I think I’ve mentioned how much I adore little kid’s feet. It also makes me remember in one word one of my mother’s favorite sayings to me when I was younger “Good things come in tiny packages”. I think she was trying to make me feel better because I was small. To her credit, many years after the fact, it does.
- Toes – See above. I love little feet and toes. My boys, for some reason, have the cutest feet (I think) on the planet. Yeah, I’m biased. So what?
- Tacos – Since I have family who know how to make these from scratch (from El Paso, no less!), and I have tried to duplicate my mother’s version for my own family, I give you this homage to the letter T. Plus, I’m probably hungry as I type this, and a taco would probably be great right about now.
- Tenacious – Besides being nice and all that, this is probably a good word to describe me. If it is important to me, I don’t back down easily. Some could also include hardheaded in that, but I was given T, not H.
- Ticklish – From my head to my feet, thank you very much. My husband takes great pride in reminding me just how ticklish I am. If you see a woman hysterically laughing during a pedicure while you are on vacation here in Central Florida, chances are it is me.
- Tea – I love all kinds, from iced to hot, Earl grey to green. I could definitely be classified as a tea-a-holic.
- Time – There’s never enough of it when you need it, and when you want it to slow down or stop it ignores you. Bastard!
- Toys – My children have too many, but yet, I’m out there buying them more. As a grownup, you can get some pretty cool toys, but they can be expensive. As a woman, toys can be interesting (and not a little bit scary).
- Two – This is the number of children I have. This is plenty for me and my hubby. I get asked all the time if I am going to have another one, (because I apparently need a girl to even the odds in my home, according to all and sundry) but the short answer is no. The long one is hell to the no, but mostly no suffices.
- Tony – The shortened middle name of one of my sons, and the name of the person whom we named him after. This one’s for you, Uncle Tony.

I hear you on the toys! I’m a tea lover, too. I prefer sweet tea – Mmm. I like hot tea when it isn’t hot out. I also have two children. Great job on the letter!
