The thing about going back to work is now my house is freaking dirty again. I walked in today, and it smelled like a sock in here.
A very, very dirty sock.
Honestly, if I found a body underneath all our dirty laundry in the bedroom I would only be mildly surprised.
My plan for Saturday morning is to clean the every living crap out of this place.
I plan on starting on this cleaning spree on Thursday night by throwing away everything that is not nailed down. No, seriously. That is how I clean. I throw away EVERYTHING. Have I touched this in the last three months? No? INTO THE TRASH IT GOES. Then I scrub the crap out of what is nailed down, or what Eric has salvaged out of my trash bags.
"This is a picture of my grandmother!"
"Oh, sorry about that! Do you want me to Pine Sol it?"
"Nooooo!"
Then I am going to steam clean my carpets with some Gain.
No, trust me, laundry detergent works far better than carpet cleaner ever will. Plus it smells better.
Afterwards I am going down to the south side of Chicago to go with my mother to eat at the place she found to host my wedding shower. I am going to get my fill of baked mostacholli or linguine with clam sauce (*little fists of joy* I CANNOT DECIDE!) and then I am going to roll myself into my clean bed and sleep the rest of the weekend away. Yeah. Great plans, no?
I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend.
(Ok, side note, I will totally admit to the fact that I watch TV while writing blog posts, and can I just say - OMG KILL BILL IS ON! YESSSSS! BEST WEDNESDAY EVER! Excuse me while I get a can of Coke and watch Uma Thurman get shot in the head!)
Also - my great plan is to finalize painting/decorating in the next coming weekends, and then take pictures and post them on this blog. Yeah. I know. This is not a decorating blog. And I am not a decorator. So let's just say it will probably be a humorous experiment for those of you who have any taste whatsoever.
hmmmm... gain instead of overpriced Bissell fluid?
ReplyDelete's just for the scent or does it actually clean?
Inquiring minds NEED to know... Provided the power stays on, I have the stink of dog to get out of Casa Mak carpets.
It does actually clean. I also add a capfull of bleach to my solution as well, but I have white carpets, so that's pretty much a need.
