Word of the Week - VICARIOUSLY

I've decided that I want to start a new regular blog that i post once a week....or as close to that as possible.

It will be called WORD OF THE WEEK!!!!!

It seems that lately i have a new word that i overuse on a weekly basis and i become so infatuated with these words that they're all i ever think about.

So whenever i feel i am overusing a word, i will post it on my WORD OF THE WEEK!

This week's word wasn't being overused but i loved how it was used in a sentence because it's just such a rare word that isn't heard often.

Anyway, the sentence that it was used in was "i was hoping to live my life vicariously through you".

I chortled.
