Word #7

Word: heedlessly (adverb)

Original sentence: "The mission is not yet accomplished; the rig is improvised, the path is crooked, and it's too soon to completely, heedlessly celebrate." (From The New Yorker online article: Close Read: Chile's First Astronaut"

Merriam Webster dictionary definition: (for heedless) "not taking heed : inconsiderate, thoughtless"

My sentence: Sarah's friend acted heedlessly when setting her up on a blind date just hours after she had been dumped by her boyfriend."
