Rice is my newest addiction.

Okay, so many of you know that Naomi is allergic to rice.

You may also wonder how on earth you can be addicted to rice.

I discovered a program called Free Rice. It tests your vocabulary and for every word you get right 20 grains are donated to stop world hunger. I am about a level 42, though I have made it up to 49.

Paul has also been playing some. It's good practice for his GRE.

And on a completely unrelated note: Thank goodness it's spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there Shae and Paul and family!

I just sent you an invite to facebook so that we can play scrabulous (facebook version of scrabble) and scramble (facebook version of boggle) against each other!

Hope to see you on the gameboard soon. :-)

Uh-oh, I may have a rice addiction now, too. Level 40! I'm kind of curious how much verbal ability I've lost since leaving high school...

Thanks for the link, though - it's a very nice distraction from grading lab reports!

YAY! Absolutely addicted. I'm a 40 with my best at 45. The only sad thing is that the program assumes I know all of the words under level 40, which who knows if that's accurate. But I'm definitely learning!

too fun,
