Today's Scrabble

[supercheesegirl]

Today we were all a little noncommittal about Scrabble, but with the exception of Kari, who went home sick, we played anyway. The weather wasn't nice enough to play outside, so we just found a conference room.

My words:
39 points - JILT / JO / ID (the J was on a double-letter, so I got quadruple J points)
(After my turn, Christine proceeded to play STREET(S) vertically off of JILT, using up all her letters for a total of 76 points)
24 points - LATHE / BE (with the E on a double word, thus getting the double points in both directions)
18 points - SIR / FOIBLES (FOIBLE was Julie's excellent word, I just added the S)
39 points - UNWORN / SHINER (with UNWORN landing on the triple word)
39 points - PAVING / PA / AX
10 points - AXE
11 points - ZA
+7 points because I went out first
187 total

I just had a really strong game today, and was able to land some good words in good spots. Final scores: Chrstine, 168; Kristina, 105; Julie, 116.

Today we learned that SHEENY is a word. A really stupid word (it just means "shining"), but a word nonetheless. We also learned that GRUNTLE is a word. It means, "to put in a good humor", so it makes perfect sense.

Also, I drew a llama and a unicorn:

That Llama looks forlorn...is the Unicorn leaving him?

No, I drew the llama first, so he's in charge. He's just standing on his hind legs 'cause he's cool.

Actually, now that I look at it, I think the unicorn seems to be plummeting from a great height, on a collision course with those numbers.
