Radical Dude
In the urban dictionary Radical is defined as...adj.- a description of an action or thing which is especially impressive.
It is also defined as...A word used by people over the age of 30 in an attempt to sound cool, usually resulting in the opposite.
Okay I have to admit to having said this very phrase many times in my youth. I will also admit that I will occasionally use it now at 39 just to embarrass my children, or make them smile at an especially unhappy time.

And there you have my R words...Reptiles, Ragweed and Radical dude!
I hope your day is a radical one. May God radically bless you today and may He give you joy so abundantly you are forced to give some away.
Now go over to radical Arlee's @tossing it out and have a look see at some other radical blogs. (Sorry, but I just love to say that word, Radical Dude)

lmbo @ your choice for R words..
Realizing this is a revealing, rejuvenating, radical,and righteous rendition for the letter "R", right?

You have 4 children! Much blessings to you and your husband. It's really cool that your daughter is a blogger too.
LOL, Shannon! That was great! :) You feeling more up to par this week?
Rockin' post Shannon!!! I love all the pictures!
I think this will reveal a certain age - but we used to say "That was rad." Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
Ewwww...don't care for the reptiles or ragweed. And I don't think I've ever used the word radical. I say "sweet". Does that make me cooler? LOL. Great post Ms. Shannon.
I never thought of myself as a "radical dude" although in my college years some people may have thought of me as being kind of a radical-- but I wasn't really.
