competitive ~ (adj) ~ determined by competition
After nay saying the hype around the iphone, I finally succumbed and bought one about a month ago. Can we say fun? It does a zillion different things I have yet to figure out, and oh yeah, it's a phone, too.
Fellow Groovy, Peppermint Patty, also bought one and we have discovered the Words With Friends application. If you're not familiar, this app is Scrabble played via our smart phones. It's funny how you think you know someone until you engage in a bit of friendly competition. Sweet Miss Peppermint, whom I've known for years, has a real competitive streak in her. Yikes! We have five games going simultaneously and she is ruthless and relentless ~ in a nice way, of course. She's keeping me on my toes, which is good for my brain. Old words are resurfacing and new words are being discovered. And in a way that only social networking can do, I am connecting daily with my friend, which is something we didn't do before.
Thank you, Miss Peppermint. Your turn!

"I'm having a blast too Casey. Playing with you is like challenging my late mother who was the Scrabble Queen. A win spurs me on to win again... and again...
The interaction while playing is an added bonus. Talk to you tonight... in person!

Peppermint, when I was 5 years old, my late dad used to play card games with me and I had to win fair and square. Needless to say, I lost a lot against a grown-up. Mom says she asked Dad to let me win once in a while and his response was, "No way. She has to learn how to win on her own."
So Peppermint, it's really your mom and my dad who are playing Words With Friends. We're just the conduits. LOL
So true. I can imagine them even now looking over our shoulders, helping us out and kibitzing like we do. :)
