Happy Monday everyone. It is time to stretch our vocab muscles and get some words to twist and bend. As always this exercise is fairly simple. All you have to do is write one piece of writing incorporation all five of today’s words. As always I have posted the definitions below in the hopes that seeing them might spark something in your brain (especially with some of those archaic uses). I was especially taken by smitten today.
