Word of the Week: Spectacular
spec·tac·u·lar
[spek-tak-yuh-ler]
2. dramatically daring or thrilling
A few weeks ago, I found myself driving the hour-and-a-half home from a party into a rainstorm. The clouds were rolling and the sky continued to darken. I wasn’t paying that much attention to the weather, munching away on my ziploc bag of Goldfish crackers (which are on my top 10 list of snacks I love and know I should not eat).
As I topped the summit of the mountains on the freeway, lightning completely illuminated the sky in a spectacular spectacle, followed by ominous booms of thunder. Needless to stay, that startled me out of my party-induced trance and was thrilling enough to cause me to send said Goldfish crackers flying all over my car. Literally. I mean everywhere. After two cleanings and much maneuvering of the vacuum nozzle, there are still little fish surfacing from under the seats. I hope they aren’t multiplying under there.
Just a warning – beware of spectacular spectacles while driving in the rain on the freeway!
Still recovering…
