some things that occurred to me while cleaning the house today
(none of this is new information):
- housewife would not be a good profession for me
- that wouldn't matter so much if i didn't have cats
- sudsy is not the same as soapy
- it's easy to get side tracked (think stove)
- it's easy to get sidetracked (think photoblogging)
- some things i will only do for my art (my gallery is coming wednesday)
- there is some wisdom in doing a little "something" each day
- some people only learn the hard way
- some people never learn
- life would be simpler without so much "stuff'
- my "stuff" isn't "stuff" it's me (uh-oh)
- if you don't have drugs, coffee works in a pinch
- if something makes a REALLY loud "ka-ching" as it disappears up the vacuum cleaner wand, it should probably be investigated (this is common sense but i haven't done it yet; i know what else went up there)
- when it's all done you feel a lot better (this i know from experience, it's not done, i'm photoblogging)
- i have not figured out how many times i would have to mop the floor before the water stays clean... and i am not going to
- this might not be the best time to clean the inside of the fridge (think stove)
- there is a reason why god invented rubber gloves, i found four pairs under my kitchen sink (?) i haven't used any of them
- do not even consider the possibility that leafing through that stack of magazines might be the best way to get rid of them: stick them under the bed and check your email instead, unless you're bill gates, this will be far less of a distraction
- if you don't use sugar, you don't really need that hand-painted sugar bowl that your god-daughter made for you years ago; turning it into a ponytail rubberband holder gives you a place to put the rubberbands but not a place to put the bowl.
- don't put anything away in a strange place and assume that you'll "remember where it is later", you won't, (this especially applies to your house keys). the exception is those magazines, you don't really need them.
