My pal Jenners over at Life With A Little One and More did a word association meme. You write about the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the "trigger" word. It sounded like a fun idea for a blog post, so I decided to have Jenners throw some random words my way.
Plum - Once I read it, I said "odd". I've never had a plum, but my husband always wants to have one. I stick with the boring world of bananas, apples, oranges and grapes. When we go food shopping, I will usually say something like "Why do you like plums? That's an odd choice." I know, I have issues.
Frost - My response: sugar. I tell the kids that the grass looks sugary when the frost hits.
Shower - Quick response for this one: Heaven. I bet all you Moms know why.
Eyes - The word "light" came to me right away. Eyes light up a face to me. Even tired ones :)
Glisten - Now that's a word I don't say everyday. The word "sparkle" jumped out at me. Those are two holiday happy words. I've been playing online Scrabble a lot lately, I think I'll try and use that fancy word "glisten". Maybe I'll get a triple word score.
If you would like to play, just let me know and I'll give you five words too.

These memes are so much fun...I did one a while back. Very interesting responses. I think it would be fun to post 5 words and have as many that wanted link up just to see how different the replies would be.
Very interesting responses and really? Never tried a plum...you're missing out, they're so juicy and sweet!
God bless!
This looks fun, I'll play along!
Plum - Professor Plum, with the wrench, in the study. (From the game or movie Clue).
Frost - A frosty from Wendy's would be nice right about now.
Shower - Not long enough. Did I wash my hair twice or was that conditioner? You understand, right Kelly?
Eyes - The "Eye" of the Tiger. I heard that song today while I was jogging. Very motivational.
Glisten - Snow. It's been so cold here in Florida that I wish it would snow. It'd make the cold easier to deal with. At least then Vivian and I could play in it.
A good incentive to get the thought process going. I really like playing scrabble, but since I have moved away from my home city I have not yet come across any new players. Enjoy your fun! Thank you. Take care. Bye.
Nice - Jenners is a fun one - great work with your five words.
Interesting word associations. You can tell I just came from the grocery store because frost brought up the idea of frosted flakes for me. Man, now I'm hungry!
A fun game, I'd love to play along. The word "plum" made me think of wildflowers, purple wildflowers...
You've never had a plum? A juicy, red middle of the summer plum? A methley plum? Listen, this is what they taste like ... "Plum" - "Frost"y sweet, your "eyes" will "glisten" as they "shower" their goodness on you. Really!
I LOVE PLUMS...but don't buy them enough. My mouth is all puckered just thinking of them. YUM
Love your thoughts on the eyes:)
This was wonderful! Its so funny how many shocked responses to your never eating a plum before.!! :D
What a fun idea! I'll play along - what 5 words would you send my way??
Thanks for stopping by! It is so good to catch up with others - I miss doing Sunday Sitar - time is just so tight right now!
Take care.
You've never had a plum?! That's a fun fact! I LOVE plums!
And I like the description of frost being like sugar- beautiful!
This is very fun...I love the eyes response best of all. I love your game posts as always. Perhaps I'll try my hand at it as well : )
How fun! I love all the little meme's like that! I could definitely relate shower to the word heaven! I would like to play along if you get a chance!
fun post - I can't say the word Glisten without cracking up - if have ever seen the Saturday Night Live Christmas skit with Alec Baldwin win he is talking about his Sweaty Christmas balls that Glisten.... that is too funny. Is the 5 word game a weekly thing? i would like to play.
Love to you.

hey Kelly, I would love to play this game, you can give me another 5 words to think about and here i firstly share what I thought about these words.
"plum" my plum trees of farm ville loaded with plums and ready to be harvested.
"Frost" the cool n frosty feel which my refrigerator gives
"shower" rebirth
"eyes" my fiance's big and b'ful eyes.
"glisten" moonlight .. the glistening moon gives me "Always" a sense of happiness.
and Kelly don't you think we can make it a Saturday time pass.. every week? it will be so much fun!!!!!!!!!!
love xoxo
I'll play along too....
you made me laugh with the shower remark....my first thought was Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! it's not often I get to take a long shower, but when I do, it's Ahhhhhhhhhhhh so good!!!
and go eat a PLUM womans!!!
Fun :)
And the last word makes me think of something I've heard since I was a little girl, "Southern girls don't sweat, we glisten."
I came by from Corrie's site, to say hi, ;I'
ve noticed we are sharing some bloggy friends; Sound like we have the same taste.Your blog is just lovely.
Have a great day!
I love plums (and nectarines and kiwi and mangoes). I so get the shower=heaven...Amen!
Yes ... shower = heaven.
And plums aren't bad ... I like the reddish ones. You should try one!
This is a fun meme .. I've been enjoying seeing how everyone's mind works!
You've never had a plum? How is this possible? Once they're in season, you have GOT to go eat a plum. They're so yum - tart and sweet at the same time. Do you eat peaches or kiwi or pineapple or blackberries or ummm other stuffs?
That was awesome! I loved your answers :D
For some reason, "glisten" is one of my favorite words....:)
FUn meme! I love words, don't you? :) I might have to try this one out...
My kids love plums, juicy, sweet. Showers, hot, relaxing, used to be my only vice, frost...on our grass every morning, glistening...tears threatening to come...eyes, the doorway into the soul.
