Words & Wordplay - October 2007

For english, i have to write a sonnet and i chose snow as my topic. I wanted to use the word 'evanescent' in my sentence and i'm trying to say something along the lines of this: 'evanescenting into the grounds before me'. However, there is no such word as 'evanescenting', so i was wondering if you guys could help me think of a sentence that has the same meaning as 'evanescenting in the grounds before me', but so that it makes sense. It would be best if the word 'evanescent' appeared in the sentence.
THANKS!
p.s i will award 10 points to the person with the best sentence!!
p.p.s tell me if there is confusion in what i'm asking for!

What is the meaning of the word flaky? For instance if you say, "Mary is a flaky person."
Also what is the Web Dictionary meaning for it if any?

Q1. How do we use"this kind of" and "that kind of"?

Q2. We always use "Better get it done before noon."
If I am talking about a past incident which needed to get done in the past, should I say'Better got it done before noon"?

Assume now is evening, and I said the above sentence in the morning.

Can I write"I needed to finish the painting. Better got it done before noon."

My chiropractor uses the word awsome so many times during a visit that it drives me insane. He is in his early 30's and is kind of like a big kid. My task is to find him a word he can replace that's awesome with before I go insane. Since changing internet providers I can't get the word of the day from doctordictionary.com. It used to be just click and you got sent a word a day to have fun with vocabulary, Now the site isn't giving me that option so I'm asking for you guys to help me find Dr. Heath Schipp a cool new word to use
