What Could Be More Than Ridiculous...Unfathomable!

Unfathomable. Another absolutely splendid word. Let's discuss. One of the best parts of unfathomable, aside from the actual pronunciation of it, is the fact that few people use the word fathomable, the prefix form, unfathomable, is far more popular. I think it really packs a punch to exactly how ridiculous something really is. So, here are the current reasons for discussing unfathomable:

1. My youngest child is nearly 7. That would be my baby, only he is no longer a baby and that is unfathomable. My children are so far past baby at this point that I can't even pull off "I was a child bride and I'm only 28.", for too much longer.

2. The fact that my husband asked me if I had plans for the weekend. This is unfathomable as we are not only celebrating my "baby's" birthday and have been discussing it for 2 months, but I have my doll show which I've been planning for about 4 long months now. Just check my website bright light! Good lord.

3. November is over half over and winter is upon us. That is unfathomable simply because I thought with enough positive thinking I'd be able to ward off all cold fronts, blizzards, and other gloom and doom.

4. Again, let me reiterate, winter is upon us. That's right....November, December, January, February, March, April......and sometimes May. We're not naming vowels here folks, this is serious freezing my ass off shit. Could it be any more unfathomable?

Do you see my point, do you see how ridiculous these examples are and they sound much more so, all thanks to unfathomable. Keep up the good work Websters.
