Alternatives is a recurring post in which I give synonyms for an over used word. Click on the tab "Over Used Words" for a "complete" list of over used words.
Today's word is:
I chose the word exciting because for the past month or so I've been saying, "I'm so excited!" Or, "It's going to be so exciting!" Or variations on that theme. If you want to know why I've been SO EXCITED you'll have to check out my personal Facebook page.
Maybe now I can say, "It's mind-blowing!"
