A to Z Blog Challenge: L

L is for Lachrymose - adjective. It means tearful.
Just reading the word makes me want to reach for a tissue.
Example: The thought of losing him made her lachrymose. 
Yeah, right. By the time she looked up the word, he would already be gone.

A to Z Blog Challenge: K

K is for Kaolin - noun. A soft white clay, used for making china and in medicine.

I really hope they don't give it to someone to swallow; might be tough to digest.

The Friendship Affair

Not all long lasting marriages are happy. But what do you do if divorce is not an option?University friends, Stephanie and Nick, meet again after twenty years. But life has not been easy or simple for either of them. Will this friendship affair stand a chance against reality? 
CHAPTER 14
Early the next morning, he looked in on his daughter, who was still sleeping soundly. She must have gotten in late since he hadn't heard her come in.Since she was a star student, he didn't impose a strict...

A to Z Blog Challenge: J

J is for Jardinière - noun. An ornamental pot or stand for displaying plants.

Sheesh, these plain old ones I am using would never qualify to be called jardinières. The word alone makes me want to throw mine in the trash.Then again, a spot of paint might jazz them up enough to make the grade.

A to Z Blog Challenge: I

I is for Impecunious - adjective. To have little or no money.

To the rich it may sound cheap, but to the impecunious the sound produces a wealthy state of mind.

A to Z Blog Challenge: H

H is for Hirsute - adjective. Pronunciation 'her-soot'. It means hairy.
To my surprise, there were not many words under H in my dictionary that I didn't know. I had to scan several pages before this one came up.
My first response, ookaayy. I will, however, be using the word "hairy" in any text, creative or otherwise, that requires the need for such a description. Hirsute sounds like something a woman would wear. Yikes!

A to Z Blog Challenge: G

G is for Genitive - noun. The form of a noun, pronoun, or adjective used to show possession.
My examples: Michael's for the noun, theirs for the pronoun, but damn if I can think of an adjective. If I say "They are my blue pyjamas" I can see the pyjamas belongs to me, but does that mean the blue belongs to the pyjamas?
Do you have a better example of a genitive adjective to share with me?

A to Z Blog Challenge: F

F is for Flout - verb. Openly fail to follow a rule, law or custom.
Skip red traffic lights or stop signs much? Yeah, we call them minibus taxi drivers in this country.

A to Z Blog Challenge: E

E is for Expiate - verb. Do something to make up for having done something wrong.
Hey guys, just in case you were wondering, flowers are not always the answer but it is a good place to start.
