This was another challenge I was excited to do.  I love words. I love words so much I have written 494,495 at the Narcissist’s Blog.  That is over 4000 pages of text.   Singling out seventeen that are favorites is really hard to do. I chose words relevant to the content of my blog and words I love but don’t have much cause to use in my daily life.  I use them anyway.  It makes people think I am odder than they already think I am.  I like that. 

1.       mo·sey/mōzē/  Verb: Walk or move in a leisurely manner

2.       me·an·der /mē-ˈan-dər/ Verb: to wander aimlessly or casually without urgent destination                    

Me: I think I am going to meander/mosey on over to the liquor store.  My friend: Okay, Little Joe.
