name of the year

Blog Challenge Day 22

Had another awesome day off from work today. Didn't finish the book I was working because a book in B&N caught my eye, and I decided to just read it there rather than buy it teehee...and guess what...I JUST found out that the federal government operating status is CLOSED TOMORROW AGAIN...which means another free day! AND....DC is expecting another 10-20 inches of snow starting tomorrow afternoon sooooo who knows...maybe even Wednesday off this week???

You'd think I would have had lots of time today to do an intense post but..nope lol. Today's post is just something fun. Each year, a contest is held to decide the Name of the Year. There are some real doozies. (How do you spell that? lol)
