Okay, so this interesting word just showed up in my email and I felt compelled to share. How to use it in a fun sentence? Oh, I know... "Hey baby, nice looking cicatrix you got there." LOL
Cicatrix is derived from the Latin word cicatrix meaning "scar." The Latin word has no clear origin. ~dictionary.com

Song of the Day: Hello Texas by Jimmy Buffet off the Urban Cowboy soundtrack. Silly note, when I moved to Texas the year I turned eleven, I listened to this song as we crossed over the boarder from Oklahoma. Funny the things we remember so vividly. :)

Oh, how neat listening to Hello Texas as you crossed into Texas... one of those 'vivid' life moments, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, not a word I've heard before. I wonder if it's related to Cicada, the insect.
Yep, it was a vivid life moment. I still remember being equal parts excited and scared out of my panties about leaving the only place I'd ever known and setting down in a new and foreign land. It ended up being really good for me. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad it turned out to be a good thing.
