I was thinking of the blog title for my new blog and one of the templates was called "Ethereal".  I liked the name and feel that I personally fall into that definition....only thing is I really didn't know what the definition was! 

I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses words in the wrong context and probably pronounces one or two of them wrong too.  I'm not afraid to admit it.  As, a matter of fact, since my diagnosis of Parkinson's I find I say some pretty funny things (ie...the lawnmower is in the fridge.  Probably meaning, there is lunchmeat in the fridge if you want a sandwich   OR   it could have meant I think I'll wear my white shirt tonight!) 

Saying funny things helps make up for the funny way that I exercise.  I've hated exercising my whole life.  I WAS one of "those" people who could eat whatever and never gain any weight...but those days are gone, my friend! : (     More on that later

Anyway, back to my word Ethereal.  I did look up the definition and was pleasantly surprised, no I meant AND it was EXACTLY as I thought!  (Well, except for #4 and 5.)
