Metamorphosis...

Also known as Friday's Brain Bender. Ready?? Here we go!

----------------------

1) Remove a letter from a word for a cleaning utensil to find the word for a hurried action.

2) Remove a letter from a word that means "look at" to find a word that means "is able."

----------------------

Pretty straight forward, I think. A good way to spend a bit of Friday afternoon. And as always, The answers will be found in the comments later.

Update: Lucky from Desert Odyssey is our official smartypants today (and he's in lust). Whoohoo! Rachel gave it a good try but I know for a fact that she has been distracted today by online pac-man. Thanks for playin'. Happy Friday!
