Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday when we get to explore a weird, wonderful or just downright wacky word. The one I have chosen this week has a wonderful sound to it which is rather pleasing on the ear! It is a word that still gets plenty of use (at least by me), but still deserves to be the focus of attention.
Flummoxed. This is a mixed-up, muddled-up word indeed; baffling and bewildering, confused and confounded. It can be puzzling and perplexing, not sure what is going on, kind of word, being all at sea, or at sixes and sevens.
This word is spaced out, shot to pieces, dazed and discombobulated, not to mention befuddled and bemused. It pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment.
Great word. You are a living, breathing thesaurus. I love it. 🙂

Great choice. Think I’m feeling the same. Except I really need an excellent recipe for bread pudding. Do you have one?
