I know it's shocking that a queen should have to clean her own house, but I need to catch up on cleaning, sleeping, and editing. That comma right before "and editing"––that is the famous Oxford comma.
QUIET, PLEASE.
I'M EDITING.
I'll check in with you when I can, and I might write a post or two.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
We have a free week and I'm a cleaning fool!!
ReplyDeleteCome on over.
DeleteI need to clean also. I decided to spend the day sleeping instead. See you when you have time!
ReplyDeleteI slept till noon. It's 5:51. I'm starting on all the stuff I need to do. Oh, yeah. I need to eat. That's next.
DeleteHi Janie - good luck with it all - I'm in limbo mode as I can't do much until the hip decides the time is right and it is repaired .. we're getting there - I can see Spring Cleaning will fit in ... editing - not so sure about that: my life needs it! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIf you want a little extra exercise for your hip, just hop across the pond and you can work on my house.
DeleteSo you wrote a post to tell us you can't write a post? Have fun with the editing and, in particular, the sleeping.
ReplyDeleteYeah, writing about not writing is pretty much the story of my life.
DeleteA list of possible book titles should include "My Affair with the Oxford Comma."
ReplyDeleteI like that a lot.
DeleteGet busy...we'll miss you!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI don't know if "have fun" is the right sentiment, but . . . have fun!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Except in very limited circumstances where it is necessary for clarity, I say "death! DEATH to the Oxford Comma!" It is my life's work to eradicate it to the greatest extent possible. Sorry. This probably makes us enemies now, but I must be true to my Grammatical Vision.
I don't want enemies, but I cannot give up the Oxford comma. Is it possible for us to agree to disagree?
DeleteAh, the Oxford comma, how I love, cherish, and swear by thee.
ReplyDeleteYou betcha, Beer Boys.
DeleteHappy editing... and cleaning.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm tired.
DeleteHave fun cleaning:)....and editing
ReplyDeleteThe worst room is the one I'm in because I can't run Mrs. Roomba in here. Too many cords for her to get caught on.
Deletehahahahahaaha I am trying to get a few items picked up before the termite inspectors come tomorrow !
ReplyDeleteI would rather be playing with The Square Ones and making some cards.
cheers, parsnip
I don't need to pick up much. I need to dust, and I have one room I have to vacuum myself, with my vacuum that doesn't really work.
DeleteCleaning? I have four dogs... cleaning is my life.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my dogs have died during the last two years. I miss them, but having one dog makes cleaning easier.
DeleteI'm writing writing writing. Exhausting! And the A to Z Challenge is coming up, which means lots of blogs to read in addition to all that writing.
ReplyDeleteNo A to Z for me. I can't handle more challenges. You are ambitious.
DeleteI love the Oxford comma! ;)
ReplyDeleteA queen must do what a queen must do. I hope the editing goes well. Have a productive week. :)
Thank you for loving my comma.
Delete30 mins is all i need to clean the whole place except the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteCleaning doesn't take very long because my house is tiny.
DeleteI miss you already.
ReplyDeleteR
I don't miss me.
DeleteMy mom and I clean our own house too. We don't believe in hiring someone to do it. We have three dogs and a cat, not to mention that we're five people, so cleaning has to happen regularly, but man, do i hate it. Wishing you the best Janie.
ReplyDeleteWhen my children were young I had a cleaning service for several months. Then I started to notice cobwebs all over the house, and a wood carousel horse my mom gave me was on its side, broken. I started doing my own cleaning again.
DeleteI know what that's like. Only different.The essays my students dare hand in stink more than a Roman sewer.
ReplyDeleteI can empathize with you, Blue. When I was a grader for a professor I couldn't believe some of the crap the students wrote . . . or copied from someone else who couldn't write.
DeleteWhy do you think I started a blog? To vent.
DeleteOk I will be quiet while I sneak around your house checking things out like a stalker or burglar
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you are such a wild woman. I'm impressed.
DeleteI completely understand. I've been trying to catch up on a few things over here, too.
ReplyDeleteMy office/TV room is clean now. I feel much better.
DeleteI love the Oxford comma, I adore the Oxford comma, and I will never live without the Oxford comma.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
