Even though I still have a pile of clean clothes to put away and I haven’t everything on my to-do list done…I still feel productive and happy. I spent the evening by myself, and away from my computer (except for the few minutes I am taking to write this).
I’ll explain the “whoosh” thing now. Every family has their own made-up words and funny stories…well, for us it means to clean in a frenetic and somewhat haphazard way. Used in a sentence:
“I whooshed the house so that when people came over it was pretty clean. I only had 15 minutes to do it!”
Does your family have made-up words or phrases that only make sense to you? Share!

Umm…we have a dictionary in my family. Though I’m pretty sure that defining them here would still make no sense. 🙂
Much of our dictionary concerns itself with the manner in which my mother pronounces specific words.
BRAK-fust (breakfast)
OYS-cher (oyster)
CHOOSE-dee (Tuesday)
ARN (iron)
Cohen (coin)
Other dictionary entries are mostly euphemisms. Probably not-so-appropriate for this venue. 😉
The list goes on. Love ya, Mom!
Oh, and I forgot one of my favorites: my name goes from one syllable to three:
JOE-WER-JUH.
