What else to do?? I have cleaned the house, brushed the dog, dyed my hair, dusted off the toy box (for show only), got a new shower curtain, Nick cleaned the carpet, Mollie cleaned the chinchilla’s cage, LJ is going to wash and clean out my car later today – can you think of anything else?? No?? Well I guess I will just sit here and tap my foot until they come!
I have found an up side to cleaning! I found something that I thought I had lost – my first edition copy of Nine and a half Weeks! I remember ordering it from a book club back in 1978. If you have only seen the movie you do not know anything abut the book. To say it was written for us is an understatement. Now the folks in the story didn’t have it exactly right and they would have benefited from all of our blogs to better understand their relationship. But it’s a book all spanko should read!! I was so fascinated when I first read it, I had never read anything like it before and even though I didn’t think anyone else knew about it I kept it hidden away, never out on the shelf! Now it’s on my shelf and it’s staying there. I found another book we all would enjoy and I will blog about it in the near future.
Soon, soon, soon!! My twin is coming!! And this time last year neither of us knew the other existed. Anyone who is a quiet lurker that feels like you don’t want to jump in because the rest of us all know each other so well and you feel like an outsider, please remember we ALL felt like the outsider when we first started commenting. I know that I sure did. Oh but look what I would have missed if I hadn’t taken the plunge!

Hey, PK, I loved that book too! The movie truly didn't do it justice. Isn't it always like that? LOL
ReplyDeleteHere's some suggestions: dust all the furniture, apply wood oil to the fronts of all your kitchen cabinets, wash all the windows inside and out, scrub the bathroom floors around the toilets... LOL just in case you missed those areas!
Huggs,
Reesa
BTW if anyone notices I've not visited most of my other blogs on my list, it's because blogger is SO SSSSLLLLLOWWWWW tonight! I don't know what the deal is, do you, PK? I can't take it anymore! LOL will be back tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you all made a great team!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that 9 1/2 Weeks was based on a book...I'm going to have to check that one out. The movie was pretty hot (for it's time) I can only imagine how much better the book is. Thanks for finding it!
Your picture made me think of my former mother-in-law who had a cute little picture hung in her immaculately clean house. It was a gift from a friend of hers and I often wondered if there was a hidden meaning: "Women with immaculate houses have boring lives." I chuckled every time I read it!
I have a great photo idea, watch your mail box. It just might contain a few other ideas as well.
ciao bella~

PK, I also read that book when it came out. I always prefer books to the movies, but I did see the movie as well, more than once. The book sent my mind spinning.
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited for you and the twin and cannot wait to hear about all the fun.
It sounds like you've cleaned plenty. Relax now - it is what it is!
Debbie :)
Will you quit cleaning already?!!! Geeze... you might inspire me to clean to when I get home and that would be horrible! So stop!!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow? See ya then.
Hugs~
Eva
Ooooh, it's almost here.... the biggest day EVER!!!! I can hardly wait and I can barely breathe...
ReplyDeleteYou two are SO lcuky to be having this!!!!!!
Love you both... tons and tons!
Tiggs
PK, so you've cleaned and cooked?
ReplyDeleteI want to see musical spankings please.
Now you four have a great time and don't forget to tell us all about it.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Suzq!
ReplyDeleteI think that there is a lot of excitment to go around! The house may not be perfect but the visit will be.
Reesa,
I had memorized the book so the movie was a bit of a disappointment to me, however when we rented it and watched it at home we got pregnant with LJ that night! So the movie does hold fond memories! And yes, blogger is a snail!
CeeCi,
If you can't fine a copy of the book I will loan you mine! I look forward to hearing from you but their is no rush.
Debbie!
I have cleaned all I can but I can't seem to relax. Once they get here I think I will be able to.
Twin,
I'll stop, I'll stop! I don't want you blaming me for you cleaning.
Tig,
I don't think I am going to be able to believe it until I actually see them! I do feel very, very lucky!!
Paul,
Wait, whoa! I said I have been cleaning, not cooking! You must have me mixed up with Eva or Theresa. I have been picking out some fine places to eat though!
Don't worry you have a couple of detail whores meeting. You will hear about it for sure!
