A Scrabble friend of ours invited us to go tubing with her tomorrow at the Frio river. Matt has a doctor's appointment in the morning, but we will head over there in the afternoon. I have to see if I can still fit into my swimsuit and find my water shoes. I went tubing for the first time two summers ago in the Comal river in New Braunfels. It was fun, but I got sunburned pretty bad. I put sunscreen on, but I should have taken some with me so I could keep applying it.
My cousin Rob took Matt out for a boy's movie this afternoon with Rob's son. His wife and two daughters stayed here and we watched the second Harry Potter movie. I'm glad I have family in town, but sometimes doing things with company can be exhausting. I guess it's because I'm so much of an introvert. I need my alone/down time.
I've been actively working on my online Scrabble study cards. I've found several that have already been created by others, but need some editing because the list is slightly different (probably a Collins or British) word list than the NASPA (North American Scrabble Players Assoc.) word list. I'm hoping that by going through all the words that some of them will sink in. I worked on my three to four hooks (letters you add to a three letter word to make a four letter word such as ban + d = band) the other night and I was surprised at how many I knew. There are some unusual words I've learned from that list like "waah", "kbar", and "udon".
I'm going to head back up to the Panhandle on Saturday. It will be a quick trip to take care of some bank stuff in person and to see a few friends. Of course I'll have to have my beloved Taco Villa and a donut stop donut.
