Again, my mood in the morning is more acerbic than a truckload of overripe limes.


My apologies for the similarities in words and lack of imagination in sentences.

I have been confused about that one for awhile too because I have always said "OR-ner-ee" and my husband says "AWR-nuh-ree." Looks like he was right, but I just have trouble thinking of it as "AWR-nuh-ree" given the way it's spelled!
