a slightly downhearted scrabble

i was aaaaaallllll excited after the first half of the maryland-duke game, ready to post a happy post with the results of today's round of scrabble AND the game results.

however, the second half of the game happened, and now i'm a little less excited. i do still have the heart to post the scrabble results, though:

inaugural scrabble

honey and i have both always enjoyed scrabble, but we find it too competitive when we play for points. so, we've started playing cooperative scrabble. we play pretty close to the normal way, only we don't keep points, so the focus can be on making fun words. (or, as fun as you can get with the letters you draw.) we try to use up all the letters in the bag, although this isn't always possible.

here's our first board, from tonight. this one used all the letters! i've filled in the intended letters on the blank tiles using photoshop, for ease of reading:


on a different note, we just bot back from a wonderful cruise vacation in the caribbean! more details on that once i have the chance to upload the photos, etc.
