A New Word

I've invented a new word. And it's a good one. Crapalanche. It's like an avalanche. But with random crap instead of snow or other avalanche related debris. I was trying to sort through the various "important items" on my kitchen counter and, well, one thing led to another. And as it all came crashing down it came to me. I was experiencing a crapalanche. No other word can really describe it as well.

So, if you're wondering where I've been lately, now you know. I've been trying to dig myself out from under the crapalanche at my house. Feel free to send Mountain Dew, chocolate and other life sustaining items as you feel is necessary. Just please no paperwork.

Does paperwork include good books? Cuz it sounds like you could use one of those.

It is a very descriptive word, and when you said it on the phone the other day it painted a very descriptive picture in my mind. When a huge stack of paperwork that I was trying to file slipped, and fell all over my feet, I knew the exact word to use! Thank you :-)

I excavated one of my mounting piles! You'd be so proud. The other counter? Well, I'll get to it eventually. Maybe. I love the new word so much!

Okay, I love this word...maybe because the chance of a crapalanche around this house seems very, very high!

Crapalanche - that word is so appropriate for the crappy things in life! Hope things get better!

Love the new word. And glad I can say I know the person that made it up! :)

I love made up words. My newest is acrobatical... so maybe if you get a really acrobatical friend they can help you do the balance bean over your crapalanche.

Crapalanche . . . that's laugh out loud funny!!! Probably because I have experience this myself. I think I'll add your new word to my vocabulary and start using it too!

I have a similar word to describe certain days... craptastic. I think both words should be included in the dictionary!!
