Petrichor The smell of earth after rain.

Can you think of a smell that relaxes you more than the way it smells outside just after the rain. It's as if everything has been renewed and washed clean. There's something about the smell that centers me and makes me feel at peace. Of course we are preparing to get another deluge as a storm is brewing in the gulf right now, but I'm still happy about the rain and I pray that everyone makes it through the storm.

If you would like to get a little more scientific on the scent then here ya go...

Ever just get the urge to kiss somebody...there's a word for that! 

No, not anorexia...we're not talking about a disease. Unless you think this is a disease, and in that case, where the heck do you come from??? I'm down for this. Who can resist the kisses or their lover, or sometimes a stranger? Weirder things have happened. I'm not saying I've kissed a strange, at least not in the last 10 years or more.

So the next time you feel the urge to kiss someone, don't worry, the urge has a name!

OMG could this clip be any more perfect! The first kiss is from Pride and Prejudice. You know the one with Colin Firth, cause it's the best one to watch!

Are you feeling it? The urge the kiss someone?? Let me know in the comments below!

****Dreamt****

 

Dreamt  - verb - a simple past tense and past participle of dream.

One little word, but so very special! Do you know what it is that makes this word amazing? It's the fact that DREAMT is the only word in the English language to end with the letters -mt! I know what you're thinking, it just can't be so! It is though. You will not find another word with those two letters ending it. I'm not much of a poet, but here's a little ditty. Hopefully it inspires you!

Before I knew you, I dreamt of you.

I dreamt of a world where dreams came true. 

I dreamt of a world with you.

I know it's a bit redundant, but who knows maybe it will be the start of something more. I dreamt it before I knew it.

On a lighter note....

I once dreamt of an all Texas Super Bowl...the Texans won of course!

Does anyone rememeber that old King of The Hill episode where Hank says...I dreamt of an all Texas Superbowl, and Gods will be done....lol

What have you dreamt of? What is worthy of this magnificent word.

*****Lalochezia*****

Lalochezia- emotional relief gained by using vulgar language.

Wow! Really! I read an article once that said scientists have proven that stomping your feet can make you feel better. Go ahead and throw a fit like a child and see how you feel!  I believe that stomping your feet works, but I believe this even more. Now it may not be the best way for everyone to vent, but for me, I most definitely feel better after a good expletive or two.

Apparently this is even a medical term! I love it!
