I Spy: Z

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Yikes! I can't believe I forgot Yikes for my Y post, plus that's a word I like to use for time to time.... I must still be jet lagged, :P 

So here we are, last day of A-Z. I can't believe we made it! If you hung out with me this month, I just want to say THANK YOU! Virtual hugs, you are all I Spy Masters. Also, a little crazy--just sayin... ;) 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the challenge, it was fun seeing what kinds of words you all came up with, given the limited time you had to spend at each blog. I know it wasn't always easy. The only thing I regret is not having more time to put into visiting blogs. Doing the A-Z while on vacation is not ideal to say the least. But, I am looking forward to catching up with you guys, I should be back on a regular schedule beginning of next week. 

Ok, enough bla, bla, bla, you all know the drill>>>


....without further ado.....

Thanks everyone for playing along and for all your comments and creative answers, it's been a lot of fun. And MEGA thanks to the A-Z team for putting together another great blog hop this year!

I Spy: Y

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Y, I think we're almost done! :D

Only one more day and the A-Z challenge will be over. I have to say I've really enjoyed doing this I spy game with you guys, my only regret is not having the time to interact with you all more, and having computer problems near the end. 

But, c'est la vie... :) 

Anyway, to change things up a bit before the end of the challenge, I posted a funny video for you guys in addition to the pics. Enjoy and I'll see you all tomorrow for the grand finale! 

So now, without further ado.....

My X answers:
Xmen, Xmen symbol, and that's all I got. :P 

I Spy: X

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Welcome back my I spy freinds. I find X to be a pretty aggravating letter. Many words begin with the X sound, but few actually begin with the letter X. (e.g. Excellent, Extra, Ex boyfriend, Export, Expert). I mean, why put the E in front of all those words in the first place? I need to know! *makes mental note to bug JE Oneil at Still Writing about this.* 

Anyway, here I am writing to you, on the fly from my Mom's house, because my internet is still down I love you all, and to give you the letter X! It wasn't easy to find X eXamples, so forgive me for the lack of variety today, but I refuse to post a picture of my kids xylophone--too easy. :)     

So now, without further ado.....

I spy with my little eye things that begin with the letter...

My W answers:
Worm, Weird, Wet, Wiggly, Welcome Pineapple**

**The pineapple has a long history as being a symblom of hospitality and luxury and is commonly called the Welcome Pineapple. I saw many stone pineapples in front of wealthy homes in North Carolina when I visited my Dad. You can read more about the history of the Welcome Pineapple HERE.

I Spy: W

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Hi guys, I'm finally home, sad to have left my Dad and the US, but happy to be back. Anyway, today is W for a lot of things, but especailly for: What The Hell, commonly written as WTH. Let me explain.... you know in my last post when I said I should be back into a more regular blogging schedule.... well guess what?! When we got back Saturday night from our vacation, I quickly found out our internet connection was down. Seriously? WTH! We called our provider to find out our internet box is fried and they are sending us a new one which in French translates to, a few weeks if you're lucky. So at this point I'm screaming WTF as I once again, have to finish my challenge at my Mom's house in sporadic, by-the-seat-of-my-pants, Elise fashion. The same thing happened to me in the middle of my A-Z challenge two years ago.... or was it three years ago... I forget, all I remember was that my internet service went down in the middle of the challenge and like now, I had to finish it using my mom's computer. History likes to repeat itself and kick me in the teeth on the way......I swear.... alot.

Anyway, I hope you all have enjoyed the challenge, good job with the V words, and again, thanks to everyone who has stopped by to play along.  *Only a few more letters left..... Phew* :D For those of you joining us, this is a game of I Spy. You'll figure it out. :D 

So now, without further ado.....

The last time I visited Florida, I found this creature on 
the ground. After freaking out, I took a picture (on left).
Doesn't it remind you the alien thing in Prometheus (pictured on right)?
Who wants to go to Florida now?!

My V answers:

Visitor, View, Velocity, Very high in the sky (Ok so I'm reaching a bit), Veteran (the patch was to honor a soldier of the Korean War) Victims, Victory (this word poped into my head though I agree with some of you who pointed out that no one truly 'wins' this kind of war.) 

I Spy: U

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Can you all believe it? We're almost done with the challenge, just a few more days! The T post turned out lots of T words! Unfortunatley, I only have two images for you today. U was a hard one for me to do, and I'm not going to lie, tomorrow is going to be even harder....I still don't have a picture for V!!!! 

Anyway, for those of you joining us, this is a game of I Spy. You'll figure it out. :D

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Yesterday we got some great S word lists. You guys are really good at spotting all these wonderful vocabulary words. And guess what I saw while taking my kids to the museum? A sign for Eye Spy! Maybe I should set up a donation box too, :P   

Anyway, Today my family and I say good-bye to my Dad after spending a wonderful time visiting with him this past week. I so wish we lived closer. But, my family and I have to head back home. The road back starts with a twelve hour drive, and a quick visit of the everglades before getting on a plane Friday. I just hope the final leg of our trip will go as smooth as it started. 

For those of you joining us, this is a game of I Spy. Let me know what words you see in the pictures that start with the letter T!

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

Hello all you rad I spyers! I'm still on vacation and I'm out of pre-scheduled posts. Yikes! The same thing happened to me 2 years ago, I was ahead of the game until the S post. So, it looks like I'm going to have to wing it... and I'm sorry in advance for folks living in time zones east of me, my posts may be a bit late... AND let me tell you how hard it is to type on a QWERT keyboard when you're used to using a French AZERTY. **This is zhqt it looks like if I type nor;ally and zithout looking, lol? And don4t get ;e stqrted on the nu;bers, punctiuqtion key or shift keys<<<

Ok so for those of you joining us, this is a global and totally awesome game of I Spy. Tell me what words you see in the pics that begin with the letter R, and remember, this game is not limited to just names of things.

Overcast! That was an excellent O word for yesterday, ornery fits my cat perfectly too. You know, I asked my husband the day before if he could give me some ideas for O words and you know what he said? Ovaries. (o_O) So you can imagine why I didn't ask him to give me words for today's P post. *shakes head*

Anyway, let's have phun and for those of you joining us, this is a game of I Spy. Today we're finding words in the pictures starting with the letter P.

Hello I Spy Nuts! I hope everyone is still hanging in there with the challenge, we're closer to the end than the beginning. :) Also, Lilac! I can't believe I didn't think of lilac for the L post. I had buddleja in my head which is what the French call it. Lilac, that was so easy. *shakes head* And M wasn't easy, but you all came up with some awesome M words, especially for the first one which was a Mandala from Nepal.

Anyway, those of you joining us, WELCOME! This is a game of I Spy. We're trying to identify words in the pictures beginning with the letter for the day. Easy. And most of it is just that, but the fun is trying to come up with words that go beyond the obvious.

Hello I Spy Lovers! Last post had everyone up in knots, even me. And yes, King's cake is a thing, so a lot of you got that one. Also jet lag, which is totally out of the blue but that's what I am right now. It's not too bad in the morning, at 6am my body thinks it's noon, but here it is, 8:30pm, my body thinks it's 2:30 am and I'm in bed, and I'm about to fall asleep on this keyboard...... but, must continue..........Plus, today is going to be easy peasy.

It may take another 24 hours, but I'm going to get to a computer soon, I promise! Just as soon as the sun sets over this amazing ocean.... and I finish my pretty little cocktail.... ;) No seriously, traveling during A-Z is INSANE. And sorry about last post, it was a hard one, but sitll, some of you got some interesting words like, Ironworks, Iron rails and Ichabod Crane (great ones, Jo :)  ).

For those of you joining us, this is a game of I Spy. Let us know what words you see beginning with J, or what J words just pop up in your mind when you look at the pictures.

Welcome to I Spy...from A-Z!

You Guys went Gangbusters on G! Have you all had enough of my corny opening lines? Yes? WELL TOO BAD GORILLA GRODD!  Excuse me, I have no idea where that came from. 

Now, for you poor unfortunate souls joining us, (do you guys even read this paragraph anymore?) this game of I Spy is about identifying words in the pictures beginning with the letter for the day. Some are pretty obvious, but we're trying to go beyond the obvious. So, I'm not limiting to just the names of things. Which means, if an image evokes a feeling, or mood that reminds you of yet another word that fits for the day, then let me know in the comments. Also, if you speak another language and find a word that fits, you can use it too! Just make sure to add the translation for the rest of us. (Thanks for the idea Jo. :) )

The F post was so FUN! There were a bunch you all came up with that I hadn't thought of like factory, field, floorplan, freeway, Ford Festiva, federal building, furniture store.... Funny how we all see different things.

Anyway, I'm sorry I've been so bad at visiting blogs. I've got a 2 week vacation coming up that includes a lot of driving and flying time. That means I only have a few days to pack, plan, and watch my stress levels spike. That also means, my blogging hours are going to decrease rapidly. Think, the Titanic. 

However, I'll do my best to visit when I can and I pray the prescheduling thing works for my posts....*cold sweat ensues* And I'll be sure to bring back some awesome pictures of my feet in the sand to share when I get back. 

Ok, onto G which I think will be GREAT!  :P
