Today I GOT a GIFT on G day.  A GIFT on G day!  When I found it on my door step, I GLEEFULLY GALLOPED around the home singing, "I GOT a GIFT!  I GOT a GIFT!  I GOT a GIFT! From DOROTHY MENOSKY!"  Then I sang it a bunch more times as I opened the packaging.  Twenty Something Daughter didn't really look up from her email, so I just kept singing to beat the band.  So this is what I GOT! Listen UP, blogger pals!  I GOT a novel called The Lover's Dictionary, by David Levithan.  All told through dictionary entries, written in ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!!!!  I'm GLOATING about this GENEROUS GIFT, which is perfect for me as I plug along each day, looking for material.  G words in Levithan's novel????  Gamut, Gingerly, Gravity, Gregarious, Grimace, and GUISE!  Next August we should probably write novels on our blogs, using this GRAND tome as a model text.  Or we could do this in November, for Write a Novel in November????
Thanks, GPM!  I love GIFTS (and you) VERY MUCH!

You're welcome. When I read it I knew it was destined to be yours.
I like the way the author makes you think about why he chose the words he used.

I appreciate the grandness of gifts and you should be zealous about such a gift. Talking about a blog challenge to write a novel, on the other hand, is overzealous.

Your fondness for gifts is one of the things I think of when I think of you.

Of course I mean that in the best posible way: how excited you get about the gift, how much you want to share the gift-i-ness with others, and how you venerate the gift-giver.

All good. Another G word.

Hey MeM,

There's really nothing better than a gift.

I've been missing you doll.
