Tonight my mother and I went over to my Aunt’s to celebrate her birthday. (My aunt’s, not my mother’s.) We stopped at Wal-Mart on the way to drop off an old car battery and to pick up a few things for the party. Actually, we only picked up one thing for the party, cheddar cheese bread. The other two items were a laundry basket and a shower curtain. I carried the laundry basket for my mother because I thought it the courteous thing to do. While standing in the check out line I glanced at the cover of a tabloid to learn that Katie Holmes may be pregnant again. Also, my mom pointed out to me in disgust that those tiny 5 hour energy bottles are five dollars. If not five dollars then something pretty damn close. I forget.
We arrived at my Aunts to find most everyone gathered in the kitchen and the adjoining dining room. Some were putting the finishing touches on dinner, some were playing with the baby (Astoria), and some were just standing around drinking coffee. I said hi to everyone then went off to find my cousin. He was in the living room completely immersed in a game of Final Fantasy Tactics. He hit pause just long enough to shake my hand. I like my cousin. I love my cousin. He was one of my best friends growing up and despite only seeing him a few times a year now, I can honestly say that our bond has endured. The baby, Astoria, is his. She likes celery and enjoys playing the “stinky feet game”. I don’t feel like explaining that one.
So after a while of sitting around we all decided to break out the scrabble board and have ourselves a game. I’m not sure when exactly it started but my entire family has caught the scrabble bug. My uncle Steve, who initially turned me on to the game, is nearly unbeatable. After nearly 30 games against him I have yet to win. I’ve come close. Today I came damn close. Six points. I really thought I had him this time.
Below I’ve listed every two letter word in the Scrabble dictionary – essential knowledge for any serious scrabble player, which I’m afraid to admit, I am becoming.

I’ve also included a picture of a naked man playing scrabble on the beach.
