Is that not a great word?!  Did you know there was such a lovely and eloquent word for laundry? 
Kimmie from Art in Red Wagons hosts a blog party called "Tea on a Tuesday".  Read about it here.
 
It's a party to just visit, say "hey", and share your everyday.  The quotidian. 
 
 My quotidian.  Laundry and coffee.  I'm actually a little intimidated to use this new word, in case I use it incorrectly. :)
 
How's your day going?

    Such a fun word... and I think you can safely use it anywhere as nobody will know if it is misused of not!! ;) Coffee and laundry sounds very quotidian to me... though I only do laundry once a week!!

    I think laundry and coffee go together perfectly. Doing laundry tends to make me so sleepy and a good shot of caffeine sounds perfect.

    My washer has been broken for a week (hard to get a repair man out here in the boonies!) I am actually beginning to MISS doing laundery and I can't believe I said that OUT LOUD. Actually, I am missing a steady supply of clean linens and clothing. I hate to impose on my in-laws too much (across the street). I will be celebrating when the repair man gets the part in this week. Might even have to blog about it!

    Quotidian, quotidian, quotidian!
    Love it. :)

    I'm happy you would join us today! Lovely post!

    Cheers! kimmie

    Awesome! I am not so good with vocabulary...I am the keeper of pointless knowledge though so I may catalog this one...or maybe not. Never can tell how my mind works these days.

    I couldn't help but notice how quotidian and custodian looked very similar! What is it with laundry? I've often said that it must reproduce when it's all hanging out in the hamper together! I wonder if we didn't have so much laundry if it would be able to reduce our need to consume so much coffee?!

    A great word, Jill! Love that texture on your photo...yummy! Xo, Sue

    Awww...use your new word! It's so rarely used most people would have to look it up to know what you are talking about. LOL.

    Love your cup...brown stoneware has always held a soft spot in my heart.
