good word!

words i discovered recently, really like, and want to add to my personal vernacular:

pulchritudinous

[pulh-kri-tood-n-uhs] -adjective

physically beautiful; comely

chintzy

[chint-see] -adjective

1. of, like, or decorated with chintz

2. cheap, inferior, or gaudy

3. stingy; tacky; miserly

uncouth

[uhn-kooth] -adjective

1. awkward, clumsy, or unmannerly; off-color

2. strange and ungraceful in appearance or form

3. unusual or strange

quixotic

[kwick-sot-ik] -adjective

1. foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or chivalrous action

2. impulsive and often rashly unpredictable.

that last one maybe sounds a little too much like my personality.

book club book for this month is jane austen's "mansfield park." i am on page 3, but have already found a gem of collection of words:

"but there certainly ware not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are women to deserve them."

amen, jane.

i like words.
