"X" is for...a day late and a dollar short???

Ooops!!!  I just realized today is Wednesday...and no post for ABC Wednesday!!!

I could just skip it...after all, today is "X"
But I am not one to back down from a challenge!!!

Now, quite a few participants picked XMas...understandable, given the proximity to the Christmas holiday...One participant picked Xanthin (yellow pigment) and various derivations...very inventive, I thought!!!

But what do I pick???  It's not like there's a lot to choose from...

Having recently moved to the mountains and being in the midst of a snowstorm, I doubt that Xenia would apply as that refers to the effect of pollen on certain plant structures...nor would Xenogamy work  which is the transfer of pollen from one plant to another...


Nope, those won't work...not much pollen these days...

Now...I've found one that has definitely applied the past few days...Xenon...a gaseous element!!!
Now, don't jump to conclusions!!!  I'm referring to Miss Daisy!!!


Yep...she's singlehandedly cleared the room on several occasions this past holiday...

Happy X-Day!!!

Hope your Xmas was a happy one!!!

Be sure and check out other participants in ABC Wednesday!!!

  1. Seems like instead of 'Driving Miss Daisy' you've got Miss Daisy doing the driving! Whatta girl. Very clever use of the X theme, though. Happy New Year.

  3. Your X hits the spot--the funny one! It's a good thing Miss Daisy doesn't read your blog. She'd give you an extra tooting xenon blast. Happy New Year!

  10. never a good sign when you look at the dog and ask "did you EAT a skunk?!?!?!".

    hope Miss Daisy's hind end is less odoriferous, or that you're able to find some Citrus Magic to help save yourselves from it soon!

    and...we named a cat AleX once...he also emitted a noxious gas when we visited him, to which he promptly passed out...probably from being tired, but we called him the ALmostEXcat because of it.

    wv: corgishe a Yiddish word for when you aim to have a corgie and miss by thatmuch!
