Kiss and Make Up

Word of the day is quotidian (adjective): Occurring or returning daily.  Also, ordinary or commonplace.

I am on my way now to buy a big fat bouquet of flowers for dictionary.com today.  After yesterday's word (flibbertigibbet...not kidding) we had a big shouting match, things were said, crocodile tears were shed, doors were slammed, and eventually parties were relegated to sleeping on the couch.  But today dictionary.com has come back with its tail between its legs and given me something good to work with, something excellent in fact.  So I apologize for all of the awful things I said in anger. 

Ah, quotidian.  Now that's a word.  It really let's me discuss the struggle between writing something for every day, even when I am not inspired, and keeping it from being too ordinary or common.  Sometimes I fail miserably and even I am bored by my posts, but that is part of the exercise.  Feel free to comment on which posts you find a little "vanilla" and which you like best.  (Shout out to commenters/commentators? - thanks so much!)*

Now, I have some apologizing to do.

Quotidian blog, both a discipline and a bane.
Producing prose each day hoping it's not too inane.
Typos and self-importance is kind of a disgrace
But nothing's quite as bad as being commonplace.

* A special shout out to whomever commented in the past few days about my blog getting better and better.  Thanks to you the world seem to shine like I've had too much wine and the stars make me drool just like pasta fazool.  So in other words an official Dean Martin shout out to you, reader.
