Woo hoo! I just got to vocab level 45! (And have donated 780 grams of rice.)

I blame Patrick O'Brian -- lots and lots of words no longer in use in those books.

This is fun. I can't get past 42. I've donated 750 grains of rice.

Oh man, Should I tell you that my record is holding on to 46 for 4 words? I'm still trying to get to 50, but it's really hard! Lots of foreign words.

I got to 46 a bit after I posted. It's really addictive, isn't it?

Hee, yes :)

It gets easier to stay in the 40s after awhile - they run out of obscure words, and start to repeat. ;)

I think I got to vocab 47 for one word...but only once. And yes, my previous life as a pirate queen certainly helped! Totally addictive.

When is your due date for the Bunny?

Dec. 26, "officially". David thinks the 10th (too early for my tastes!), I'm thinking the 27th. My sister in law is threatening bodily harm if she arrives on her birthday (the 22nd -- and obviously, she doesn't have kids :lol:) but DH's uncle would like to share his birthday, the 23rd. Anytime between Dec. 20 and 31 would be great for me, though!
