"WoftheD" = Word of the Day

I recently did the dorkiest thing. Yup - I sure did. I started a Word of the Day email (aka "WoftheD").

After always using nothing less than unique words and generally talking about words of the day - it was time to make it official! Last week I started with a grand total of 4 subscribers, and this week I've already doubled it! Seriously. Now I'm not saying that I'm the next Arianna Huffington or anything - but it's really the little accomplishments that float my boat!

So today's WoftheD was:

fa·ce·tious
