While cleaning out my old desk, I ran across (stuck in the back) a vocabulary list that had been emailed to me from my best friend circa 1998.
One of my very favorite words just happens to be on this list: Thwart.
A few other choice words: mitigate, morose, peruse, pugnacious, querulous, redundant, and succinct.
Ahh vocabulary lists. While they thwarted me back in the day, they keep my blog posts far from succinct now!

I love finding old school stuff like that...brings back such memories!
I was so BAD at vocab lists. Probably why my word range is limited to words like wow, amazing and fabulous.
I agree with a.HIT. I Used to be good with vocab...but now I stick to those most excellent words: wow, amazing fabulous. hah
eww, I do not like vocab lists! But I love finding the old stuff! haha
We are *huge* fans of vocabulary lists, it's just that we can never remember the words!
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

I just found your blog and I love it! Did you design your header yourself? It's adorable! I have a spotty dog, too :)
When I was younger, my favorite word was lolled...as in, "his head lolled to the side as he slept. Sad, but true. :)
You should definitely do it! We could be work out buddies! :)
Two of my favorite words are rotund and plethora. When I was living in Poland and finishing up my Master's, two friends wanted me to work both words into my thesis. I put them in and it was hilarious the way I used them :)
fab words, mitigate was on mine and once I got the hang of it I couldn't stop using it!
