I would love to Gallivant....but I have these little people who think they need me around. Enjoy gallivanting while you can. And have fun in England.

I use this word quite a bit. I don't actually do it much but I like the sound of it. I mostly use it in hyperbole. Like "Addie is gallivanting all over the house."
