resplendent \rih-SPLEN-dunt\

adjective : shining brilliantly : characterized by a glowing splendor

this was the word of the day for monday. i know this word. i may have used it in the past, but once again, i am drawn to the word because of the definition. i like this definition because it has the word brilliantly in it. i love the word brilliant and all variations thereof.

and i will tell you why i love it. i love it because adriane, my co-author, uses it all the time. and i love adriane. and i love that she uses this word. it is so "british" and, for some odd reason, i associate "british" with sophisticated. and when she uses this word, i feel sophisticated, too.

yeah. so that might be the lamest reason to love a word. but i love words and i will not apologize for that, nor for the reasons why. hahaha.

and now i love the word resplendent, because the definition rocks.
