so. it’s saturday afternoon, lovely sunny day, i’m here and my friend mechele is cleaning my house. ok it’s not as bad as it sounds, unless it is. situation: me = inveterate slob. chris = got so frustrated with that he stopped doing *any* cleaning at all, making it all up to me. me = tried. honest, i did stuff. didn’t help. place = filthy pigsty. police would look at it and say there were signs of a struggle. and there are no, and i repeat no, clean dishes.
so why am i blogging while she cleans, which involves feeling horribly guilty? well, ok first of all she’s doing this in payment for the fountain and all the garden stuff we gave her. and in gratitude for me getting her a part time gig organizing and filing at the car wash. and plus she’s one of those people that, when she comes over, just starts organizing things, she can’t help herself. but in this case she came over with buckets of cleaning supplies, with the express purpose of cleaning my house. and i’m blogging. i suck that way.
ok, i have to go do something for maude’s sake.
in a minute.
OK, that is so my new favorite epithet:
“Oh, for Maude’s sake!”
Can she come to my house next? I have bucketfuls of little-used cleaning supplies here already
there should be a match service for people like us to make friends with people like them–cleaningbuddies.com. that would be heaven.
Web geekery in exchange for cleaning? I’m there!
Contributing the geekery part <g>…
The question is, what do we messy folk do for them in exchange? Make messes at their place so that the obsessive/compulsive thing kicks in? One of my dearest friends is an organizer/cleaner, and I haven’t yet figured out how to repay him for doing stuff when he comes over to my place. I dunno, the cleaning does seem to make him happy….
…or maybe that’s just me trying to write off my own guilt.
Shel – I was going to say the same thing!
Send her over here next! I could use help too! Heh.
Can you send Mechele to my house? PLEASE!!!!!
