not ashamed to admit

i am not ashamed to admit that i frequently make use of dictionary.com. it is a great reference, has a thesaurus built in, its all around great. for example, this week it was particularly useful after a visit from MIL. she loves to use obscure words and really thinks better of herself for doing so. she is one of those people who pronounces croissant as if she were born and raised in paris (and was still living there) even though is an american. this week dictionary.com was so enlightening when i learned the definition of imp. it is particularly wonderful to know that MIL thinks this is a totally appropriate term to use when oohing and ahhing over her grandchild. "max is so impish" especially fun when it is repeated multiple times. of course only after she was done pointing out that "sadly, his eyes are no longer blue" umm, is she hitler?!

just in case you dont want to look it up yourself...
