Oh.my.word! I could play this every waking hour. I love Scrabble and Boggle, so this game has all the right elements. My friend, Cathy and I used to play both Scrabble and Boggle growing up, so when she came to visit I couldn't wait to play Bananagrams with her. She is a worthy opponent so the pressure made us play for hours. Actually, anyone who comes to our house for more than a few minutes is suckered into playing. Fun! It's also small enough to fit in your purse, so you can play it while waiting for your food at a restaurant.
My girls are in love with these! The box says for ages 6-99, but O enjoys them as much as E and does them perfectly. I've already bought some for Christmas gifts for my nieces and friends.
Oh, how I love this! My favorite shade is Glow. I have a tube in my purse, my car, my pool bag and my cosmetic bag. It smells sweet enough to eat (don't), gives just a hint of color and feels like it has some medicating-like-stuff in it (how do you like that for an explanation? I could totally write a commercial!). Anyway, our local drugstore often puts it on sale buy one get one free which is really just like Christmas ... in August. Really.
This book is really good and I'm going to be really sad when I'm finished with it. But, I have this one waiting on me, so I won't be sad for long. (I seriously cannot stop typing really. It's like I'm writing a paper for my 8th grade English class and we were graded by the number of words we used. I'm so creative, I added words that highlighted my intelligence like ... very and really ... and very, very. I am deep like that, y'all.)
And lastly, my new pink iPod.
Okay, I'm not one to jump on the latest trend. No ma'am, not me. In fact, I was so positive the internet would only be a fad and soon people would go back to their love of encyclopedias and libraries. It's true. I am a realist. So, imagine my shock when iPods were actually a hit because who wouldn't want to run and exercise with a large portable CD player tucked in their pants? Imagine how giddy I've been to actually run and listen to music and say, "Look Eric, it actually plays a bunch of songs and stuff. Where have we been?"
Oh, I kid. I have owned an MP3 player. But, I will tell you that I had never used iTunes before. That obsession alone is costing my family homecooked meals because oh.my.word. I can download all the mega-hits from the 80s! I'm sure I've never been happier.

We have been playing bananagrams constantly since returning home. Thanks for getting me hooked! Are you seeing words in your sleep? I sure am! I'm not sure that you explained "how" competitive we have ALWAYS been at games. I feel certain that we didn't speak for months on end as kids after Scrabble or Boggle matches. I'm also compelled to admit that our children could have been in the next county during our recent "battle" because we were zoned out!! Keep practicing because I'm seeing a re-match in the near future to see if we can break the tie!! Sending you all big hugs.
Love your blog - I have the book The Help on hold at the library; can't wait to read it.

ps your girls are precious.
Well, I will have to check out Bananagrams b/c I love Scrabble too!
And, oh yes, love me some iTunes! I use my iPod much more than I thought I would.....like when the kids are fighting.....I just pop those little ear buds in and I don't hear a thing. Ignorance is bliss! :) (just kidding....well, sorta.)
oh...did you get my email last week? we're visiting churches and we want to visit yours but I can't remember the name of it. :) shoot me an email and let me know, or stop in and see us. If you're lucky, I won't be in my pajamas. :)
Can't wait to hear about your new job!
I have NEVER, NEVER heard of Bananagram! And what is that for the kids - never seen that before either. As you can tell I don't get out much~
And I guess I just need to visit your home library to get my next book~
I'm a scrabble freak too! My mom and I play online. I'm getting her banangrams for Christmas this year. Thanks for the recommendation. :)
HA! I love this game--and all other word games :) I put this in my hubby's stocking last year and my four-year-old kept telling him we got him a banana for Christmas. He thought she was kidding :)
