X is for ____________

August 29th, 2011

I couldn’t come up with any words that started with an X so I used the EX sounds.

EXAGGERATE – I have a tendency to exaggerate time, if you ask me what time it is I’ll tell you 3 pm if it’s 2:35. This trait was handed down to me from my dear dad.

EXUBERANT – I’m a joyful, energetic person. Many people don’t see it because I’m such an introvert, but some folks at the local markets and some of my friends see my exuberant side.

EXACT – I am very exact about certain things in my life, not so much about others. When I cook I barely follow a recipe, but there are other areas of my life where things have to be done a certain way – like folding towels, loading the dishwasher and other things.

What words/phrases describe you that start with a X?

    I’m all done! Thanks so much for suggesting this. I’ve pulled out all the stops and finally done letters too!

    The only X word I came up with was Xeriscaping (landscaping designed for dry climates.) Fortunately something I do!

    I’m already done with my Alphabet in August! I used Xerox as my X word.

    I turned my X into my love for food :)

    Now, to figure out a Y…

    We certainly have a lot of personality traits in common! My other eX word would have to be excitable. You can tell when I’m excited because I talk really, really fast in a higher pitched voice than normal. I believe it embarasses some people:)

    xeriscape is also something I used to do a lot of, gardening in dry hot north Texas.. I still tend to plant plants I know will do better in hot dry beds cuz I really do hate watering plants for some really weird reason. :D
