This was fun! Loved that I got "Grouch" as my random verb, but disappointed I couldn't use any of the pictures of Oscar the Grouch. *L* Saw this over on The Story Siren's blog. Go visit and take a look. Really liked the cover she came up with!

  1. Well, at least the picture fits the verb! She looks kind of grouchy to me.
