I've adopted a new word. I can hear myself using it. When I do use it, I say to myself, "Wow, I sure have started to use that word alot." The word I can't help but utter - Fantastic. As in, "That game I went to the other night was fantastic" or "My new Human Expertise class is fantastic" or if someone says "Hey it's over 60 degrees in Seattle today for the first time in 2002, do you want to go get some ice cream?" my response of course is, "Sounds fantastic!"

I just realized who is to blame. I think I'll have to switch back to something else but then I'll start saying "sweetie" all the time.
