Yesterday, I shared about my normal friend who felt pity for me and asked if she could come over to help me clean. She phrased it as "helping me get caught up after summer." However she wanted to see it, I was grateful for the help. Since it was her. I can count on one hand the number of people whom I would "let" help me clean my master … [Read more...]
Watching Normal People Clean
On Friday I mentioned over on my Facebook page that my normal friend had come over to help me clean my master bedroom. You know on cartoons where there's one character who moves slowly while the Tasmanian Devil is a blur all around? That's pretty much what it felt like. Honestly, watching her was fascinating. When I could get my eyes to … [Read more...]
How to Make Caramelized Onions
I am thankful that, for the most part, Hubby and I have the same likes and dislikes when it comes to food. I fully understand how lucky I am. It's our standard to say "No raw onions or tomatoes, please" when asked what we like. Which adds irony to the fact that after our wedding, the person who packed a meal for us from the buffet (that we … [Read more...]
The (Fine) Line Between Slob and Hoarder
I get quite a few visits to this site each week from people searching something like "What is the difference between a hoarder and a slob?" As a slob who has had rooms that could get me on a show of that name, it's a question that has crossed my mind many times. Some days I think "I'm not that bad" and others I realize that I could easily get … [Read more...]
That Spot? Again?
Sometimes, knowing that I've showed the transformation of this same spot umpteen times makes blogging get on my nerves. While the first time, I was proud of myself, and the second time I was able to grasp how this was a real problem spot and the third time I was amazed that it was such a quick fix . . . by the sixteenth time, I'm just … [Read more...]
I Cleaned the Playroom . . . and That’s It
Meaning, I cleaned it without having to first de-clutter for hours. Such a weird feeling. I hate to say it (because of the dread that it will immediately fall victim to my kids playing "Hoarders"), but I think . . .maybe . . . that last decluttering/organization worked. Can I just say that this whole "cleaning like normal people do" thing … [Read more...]
Maybe He Has a Point . . .
I'm very thankful that Hubby is so supportive overall. He puts up with a lot from his overly-dramatic/always-up-to-something/slob wife. He has a special little forced-smile-fake-laugh thing that he does when one of my Slob-Qualities comes shining through. Like the cabinet door thing. Or the … [Read more...]
When I Said I Cleaned My Bathrooms . . . What I Really Meant Was . . .
I promise complete honesty here. Sometimes that complete honesty means telling you that I purposely didn't show the still-cluttered area just outside the photo of the newly-decluttered one. Sometimes it means posts like this one. I've made it clear that I didn't do very well over the summer at consistently doing my weekly cleaning … [Read more...]
Cheater Freezer Cooking – Sausage Biscuits
I like big productions. I think it's what makes me successful as a theatre director. Don't tell me that the stage is too small or the kids are too young or the time is too short. If we're going to get up in front of people and perform, I want it done big. It's also why my webisodes are so time-consuming. It's just not in me to NOT spend … [Read more...]
