introduced Mom to wikipedia... and through various links to introduce her to stuff, looked up 'backronyms'. very interesting, actually.
and here's an example - (b-im-b-o)
Bimbo has been interpreted to mean "Body impressive, brain optional"[20]however there is no mention of this relation in dictionary entries.[21]

p.p.s.
I wanted to tell you... that it's snowing/ice storm during rush hour traffic... you know what that means??! SNOW DAY! Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm getting a snow day tomorrow! I haven't gotten one in about 3 years, and I'm thrilled - a day to do whatever I want! Businesses will be open, I can acutally set up appintments for repairs at my condo... pay bills... wrap presents - hooray!
I'm getting my groove back at work... was feeling a bit distant and disengaged for a while there... but now i'm feeling more like myself.
not much more to blog about at the moment... except that i'm gonna go curl back up in a nice, warm bed and read... and perhaps take a mini-nap before getting up for the day... snow days are the best - unexpected time... what a gift. thank you weatherman!
p.p.p.s. a coworker has a theory: whenever the grocery store obtains a surplus of eggs, milk, and bread... they call the weather channel, and pre-arrange poor weather... the forecaster predicts it, the people buy the milk, bread, eggs, and the food doesn't spoil.
(methinks that's a good theory, because sometimes the weather people are right, sometimes the weather people are wrong... so there's an element of mystery... who knows if they're telling the truth? perhaps it's all fabrication. except for today - it's really icy out there)
