My sister pointed out that I am a sucker for extravaganzas, mostly because I use the word a lot. Really it is just a word I use to describe something I feel particularly excited about or something that is going on that seems a lot more special than our average day. I often conjure up extravaganzas in my mind, but occasionally this results in me trying to make a huge cake or cram too many things into one day. So "extravaganza" has become part of our family lingo. Don't you love family lingo?
I also have an ongoing fantasy about putting on a real extravaganza.
It seems we also use the word to indicate the following:
1) Making a mountain out of mole hill. I am good at this. Basically I say this to poke fun at myself sometimes.
2) Me becoming visibly excited.
3) Thinking and talking about how much fun something is going to be such as saying, "wouldn't it be fun if we . . ."
We've had a few extravaganzas around here and I can't wait to tell you about them!
