What's your poison?

I hope everyone is well rested and ready for the week ahead. After being completely spoiled, with a parade of presents from my children/hubby (and I mean this literally, they were sooo cute), a massive b-day cake, and lunch out at my fav. restaurant, I myself am coming off a razzle dazzle fabtabulous weekend! I'm left full of spunk and vigor and am looking forward to a day of swim lessons, laundry  and rewrites. Okay...mostly rewrites. A load of laundry may get squeezed in there somewhere-but I'm not promising anything. I bet you also have a huge list of things to get done, so with a busy day ahead for all of us, I'm going to make this snappy!

I'm sure you've noticed by now that I have a thing for words. My favorite hobby is to create them, but I also have my conventional favorites. Lately I've been running with 'Swanky'. For my own amusement I've been trying to work it into conversations every chance I get. Not easy to do with such a dated word. "Yeah, I had a swanky good time last night at the grocery store" or "For the swank of me I can't figure out how to use this microwave." I make no sense, but who cares?  I lurv it! Really, I mean don't you, too? Saaa-wankie. I don't know, there's something about the way it rolls off my tongue. It's super sassy, 1950's gangster style, shoot em up, Marilyn Monroe-ie sounding. Okay, maybe I'm a little crazy. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this, anyone else have favorite words?

  1. Oh Lindy Darling, you and me both! lol I've been playing Scrabble w/ my BFF since high school (now we play on fb) and I would make up a word and the only way she'd let me use it was if I could use it in a sentence... needless to say, I got pretty good at making words up! Swanky... we must be related as I use that word too! lol Cups Up! xoxo

  4. OC baby! Yes, I bet we're long lost sisters or something. I keep telling my parents that I must surely be adopted.

    Thank you, Alleged Author, indeed my birthday was off the hook! :p
