When a girl spends half her week working on a Teacher's Guide to a series of simple English Bible lessons she's written, her brain tends to be filled with language exercises--even during moments when she's not crafting away at the aforementioned Teacher's Guide.
That said, I give you the following linguistic practice text. Take your time on it; try not to get frustrated; and, above all, remember to have fun!

Would that be the thorn in your...um..nose? Maybe the rhino should be your totem animal--isn't that even a Latin prefix for the nasal area? Yep, what you need is a big ol' stuffed rhino (pun intended) to either cuddle with on lonely nights or throw against the wall to oust the evil germs!
Nic pun, indeed. I am suitably impressed. ;o)
Thanks for the rhino idea, Patricia! I like it! I think I would end up beating the stuffing out of the poor thing, though. It would come into contact with the wall too much. ;o)
That's right, make the readers work for the right to read the blog post!!!
Just kidding. That was refreshingly original :)
Ooh, I do so enjoy being called 'refreshingly original'! Thanks, Bri! ;o) Glad I could send some random amusement into your day. :o)
I'm sorry you were too sick to join us for the Superbowl party. If it makes you feel better, Allison and I slept through about half of it, if not more. :)
I'm sorry, too, April! At least I could've dozed along with the two of you! ;o)
