conundrum

Per a blog reader's request, the word of the day for today, July 1, is conundrum. Becky, here is your word.

From Merriam-Webster.com:
Conundrum

Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1645
1: a riddle whose answer is or involves a pun

For me, every episode is just a part of the overall conundrum known as the series, "Lost."

I’m feeling a little querimonious since it’s a beautiful day and I’m stuck in the office. My husband will be picking up my son from his 4-day trip to the beach and I’d like nothing better than to be there when he gets home. But alas, I’m here, chatting with you fine people. : )
