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?
