So, an hour and a half's worth of cleaning plus some sushi and miso later, she contemplates the house. A little bubble forms above her head as she does so. It reads:

It's time once again for the Who Cleans The House show starring Greenie and the SO!

She groans and puts the broom away. The house ius mostly tidied, most of the garbage that's accumulated over the last two months has been placed in garbage bags near the front door, as has the recycling. Things are off the floor where they should be off the floor, laundry is put away for the first time since we moved in.

But wait! Nothing has actually been /cleaned/! I have not washed, wiped, or scrubbed anything -- and that's not because it doesn't need it. It's because, well, after a day of cleaning an hour and a half at home's more than enough.

Now, some of the stuff that I tidied up, and definitely over half, was mine. The cleaning, though... *sigh* ...and he gave the vacuum away before procuring a new one, so the carpet's pretty icky. Now, I'm not particularly fooling myself that the Juggler will notice if the place is clean or not when he comes over, but I will. I want it to be clean. I think it will be, by 5pm tomorrow. Next time I do this, though, I /will/ have help.

This entertaining post brought to you by the Greenstorm network, the letters U R G and the number 7.

Satisfaction!

Cleaning sucks , but with the right sort of incentive it definetly gets done quicker and easier!( you should see me when I have FishGoddess come over ...... zoom,zoom,tidy,tidy, pickup , toss, clean ....heh! I think I feel that she just MIGHT notice if things are not above a certain level of chaos! Of course I also get that satisfaction feeling when it gets done too!)
So what does YOUR network promote? (besides clean houses , some nice letters and a Poly life style)
; )

Bwahaha!

I just spent half a week in the company of some delightful visitors from England... I will never read or hear that word the same again! Oh, the context! Priceless!

That would make it nicer... although I think, given the state of my arms after this much leaning, it would be a magic wand sort of dealie.

I need one of them, you know?

'to toss' in British slang is 'to jerk off', and apparently it is considered quite a rude word.

Now, think of all the things that are funny, not the least of which is that line of Gimli's from The Two Towers. Think also of the humour value of ordering a "tossed salad" in a restaurant. And of saying at the office "Bob, toss me that pen?"

Heh :-)

I learnt to do it fast from her. Still takes work, alas.
