N is for....

Nothing, Nada, Nein... 
Today, I came to my blog with the letter N in mind & in all honesty nothing came to mind to share. 
So in hopes of something coming from nothing, I headed over to the dictionary for my weekly definition... here's what dictionary.com had to offer in the way of a meaning.

As usual, the first definition would probably stretch my English teacher's definition of acceptable as it isn't using the actual word as the definition, it just got a bit creative... wouldn't be a King'sMountain definition without an "improper" one popping up now would it? I digress... here you go.

Who knew a word meaning "not anything, naught, no trace, nonexistence," could have so much to say? I hope you enjoyed my post about nothing which actually did turn into a little something after all. Have a fabulous day!
