Wednesday Word of the Week

This weeks word is.......GROPE

grope   [grohp]
verb, groped, grop·ing, noun


–verb (used without object)


1. to feel about with the hands; feel one's way: I had to grope around in the darkness before I found the light switch.


2. to search blindly or uncertainly: He seemed to be groping for an answer to the question.


–verb (used with object)


3. to seek by or as if by groping: to grope one's way up the dark stairs.

4. to touch or handle

Hmmmm, perhaps I should explain.  I spent the entire day in mandatory Emergency First Aid, CPR and Automated Defibrillator Training.  So I spent a great deal of the day on the floor, pretending to have various injuries while several of my co-workers groped me searching for broken bones.  (Or that's what they said they were doing)  LOL  So depending on who was your partner, it was an interesting way to spend the day!!

And during the Defibrillator part of the training we spent alot of time pretending we were in an episode of Greys Anatomy and yelling "Clear" before pushing the shock button. 

We learned a lot and we laughed a lot.  Luckily the trainer had a great sense of humor too so between her attitude and our crazy staff the day went quickly.

  1. Kim,
    Your job sounds as wacky as mine! I spent the day helping people build the slowest marble raceway they can, even though they actually like making the marble go faster! Very cute post! It gave me a much needed chuckle!
    Take care,
    Courtney

  7. Wow, that is a funny day. I like your word too. Grope, it just sounds creepy. You sound better today I am glad. I read Accu Weather and Joe Bastardi said that he thinks winters back is broken. So we will see. You know what it means if I have a early spring? I will have summer that lasts from March to November. By the time you have flowers we will be in 100 degree weather, so it all evens out.

  13. I grope for the answer to "Why don't I live someplace tropical?" during this relentless winter which is making me loopy. I wish I would have obliterated my bank account to go someplace beachy but I decided to be sensible. . . . sigh. . . . . whatever.
