This made me laugh out loud...

Today's Word of the Day on My Yahoo is --

exacerbate

DEFINITION: (verb) to make worse or more severe
EXAMPLE: Lin already has plenty to keep her occupied, that editing job that Mr. B wants right away will only exacerbate the problem. (Sentence somewhat altered in order to put it in my context. :-D)
SYNONYMS: aggravate, infuriate, intensify

Now I have a word to describe how my day is going, hehe! Maybe if I'd looked at My Yahoo first, I would have been prepared.

Actually, things are under control, though still hectic. And yay! It's almost time for lunch!

(((Lin))) Happy Valentine's Day! Be sure to re-read your special poem today!

*smooches you*

((((You)))) I was just thinking warmly of that poem after noticing you had some poems for the day up. I shall do so at once, my dear!

You know, that is the very icon that inspired me to write 'Brothers and Friends!' *sigh* How I adore that part of the eedvd! Sean and David on one screen.... *swoons happily*

Sorry, I had a momentary phase out there and deleted the comment for fear I already had a copy of your "Brothers and Friends". But I shall renig on the deletion and ask you again to post it here or email it just to be sure, since I couldn't find it. I am in a Boromir/Faramir mood today, and don't want to have to go searching for something to assuage my longing, hehe!

((((Loth)))

I get chills just thinking about actually seeing those two brothers together -- and then when Denethor shows up... it's just too much for my Gondorian heart to stand! :-D

This is a triolet that I have been working on for Prim's Valentine Triolets. I called it Brothers and Friends, but I retitled it The Men of Middle-earth. Hope you like it!

The Men of Middle-earth

Between two brothers or two friends
A hearty handshake will suffice
No flowers or candy I extend
Between two brothers or two friends
Still, there's no need to oft pretend
That a big hug is not quite nice!
Between two brothers and two friends
A hearty handshake will suffice

I knew I was going to feel silly, but the title threw me off! I just read that one over at your journal, and I immediately thought of those two wonderful Gondorian men. This is indeed wonderful, my dear, and is going in my memories. And I'll put the appropriate icon with it. ;-)
