Over a Barrel
It was a pleasant weather day today.
After work, I stopped at the owner's place for a little barbecue celebration for the one year anniversary of the shop. ^_^
Mom won a rain barrel in the drawing she signed up for at the fair. So she has to go out there tomorrow to pick it up.
Still have the sore throat, but only off and on. Hopefully, by tomorrow I'll be free of it.
Build-a-Bear now has a Princess Twilight Sparkle.
Time for bed. *hugs*
She wrote an effusive letter of recommendation for her studet.

Did you know?
We've used "effusive" in English to describe excessive outpourings since the 17th century. In the 1800s, geologists adopted the specific sense related to flowing lava-or to hardened rock formed from flowing lava. "Effusive" can be traced to the Latin verb "effundere" ("to pour out"), which itself comes from "fundere" ("to pour") plus a modification of the prefix "ex-" ("out"). Our verb "effuse" has the same Latin ancestors. A person effuses when he or she speaks effusively. Liquids can effuse as well (as in "water effusing from a pipe").
