Ten on Tuesday: Ostentaciously On

So it is Tuesday. Thinking about the Os I immediately thought of on and that is when my brain turned on.
1. On...on task...on time...on call...on shore...on board...on track...on schedule...on purpose...
on the money...on the spot...on the train...on the boat...on the bus...on the plane...on the top...
on the bottom...on the whole...on your mark...on your heart...on your mind and on and on....It definitely needs to be turned off.

2. onomatopoeia My second graders soundly love this word. It sounds so fun to say and they love that their parents don't always know what it means.

3. Old--older--oldest I am old (oh yes, 62 is old even to me). Lord willing, I will get older (63 in October). I am the oldest of all my brothers and sisters.

4. Owls I have an owl collection and one wall in my classroom is an owl collage. There are four big owls that sit on the cupboard and oversee our classroom (supposed to remind us all to be wise workers.

5. Ovens Specifically microwave and toaster which are two of my must have always used appliances. Bill is the one who uses the real oven, and we need a new one.

6. Office I worked hard this summer to get my office useable. It is now my own space. Bill has his own office which he's still working on.

7. orthodontist Erica, Amy and I owe our smiles to the orthodontist.

8. oyster The little cracker kind I used to put in tomato soup.

9. opal The birthstone of October birthdays of which mine is one. I have an opal ring grandma gave me that is very special.

10. obession This is my favorite perfume, but I fear it is becoming obsolete. I can't find it in the real pure form just in spray--not the same.
