I Have to Clean My House Today & I'm Procrastinating

[Susang]

The parental units are coming for a visit tonight, so I have to play the "we don't really live like this" game and clean the crap out of our stinky, messy home. And I don't wanna! :P Waaaaaaaaa!!!!

[wtmusic]

1. And you've discovered what a Useful Tool DU can be

for procrastination. I need to join a therapy group or something.

[Susang]

3. DU is therapy

A somewhat dysfunctional and occaisionally twisted therapy, I'll grant, but therapy none the less. If I didn't come here to bitch about the present regime, I wouldn't be fit to live with.

[wtmusic]

4. Good point

Is it possible to need therapy for too much therapy? What a basketcase!

[Susang]

6. Therapy for therapy junkies?

I'll have to ask my sister. She's a therapist. :evilgrin:

[wtmusic]

9. If you get on a roll

c'mon by, I've got two loads in the washer and some really dirty windows

[demnan]

2. Just think how good you will feel when you get it done

Even we fat lazy, messy, dirty slobs enjoy living in a clean home once in a while! ;-)

[Susang]

5. I love having a clean home

But more likely, I'll feel like shit when I'm done. I just found out I have asthma and was told dust and mold are big triggers for me. I'm going to go to the drug store and buy a dust mask before I start.

The good thing is, my new asthma drug jazzes me up quite a bit, so I'll be more energetic than usual. Ah, it's the little things that make life worth living! :-)

10. How soon can Mighty Maids be there???

You can sit back and read a book while they work.
Now that's cheap therapy.

7. I've been putting off cleaning my apartment...

...since about 1999. Suffice it to say, the place is a bit grungy by now!

[peacefreak]

8. Come sit by me.

I'm suppose to be going to the Post Office, getting a haircut, then coming back here to clean. Yup. Me too. But you know what, I can't see the house when I'm facing this screen. Neil Young's Greendale is on the CD player & I'm listening to the blistering lyrics. Somehow, I think it's time well spent.

[Susang]

12. Sounds like my kind of day

At what point do I get to pour myself a glass of wine while I procrastinate? 10:30 AM is just a little too early, but I can sense it's gonna be one of those days where wine is a necessity.

[GOPisEvil]

11. While you're at it,

can you dust and vacuum my bedroom? The rest of the apartment is clean, I took care of that last week. Oh, and don't forget the ceiling fan - how that thing gets so dusty, I'll never know!

I'd really appreciate it - thanks!

[Susang]

14. Sure, I'll be right over

How long does it take to fly to Texas anyway?

[GOPisEvil]

15. The flight was about 3 hours - there's a direct flight daily on AA.

Come on, we'll have Mexican food - my treat!

[Susang]

17. Mmmmm....fajitas!

But you know I can't possible get any cleaning done after I've polished off a pitcher of margaritas!

[GOPisEvil]

19. Of course not...you won't care either!

That's the point! Why do you think my place stays dusty? Clean? Margaritas? Clean? Margaritas? Margaritas it is!!!

[VelmaD]

13. I saw a "we" in there...

where the heck are the other occupants while this cleaning needs to be done?

No one should have to clean alone. It just ain't right.

16. The hubby's at work

He and I work reverse schedules (he's days, I'm nights). He's been trying to help out, but he's not very good at seeing dirt, if you catch my drift. But at least he tries.

[VelmaD]

18. Must be that same eye problem

that causes men not to be able to tell the difference between green and blue. :-)

[Susang]

20. Okay, I'm still here

I can't even get off my lazy butt and go to Walgreen's. What's wrong with me. Do I really only work well under pressure?

[GOPisEvil]

21. That's me!

2 hours before my house NEEDS to be clean, I will assume the role of the Tasmanian Devil and clean in a whirling dervish of Swiffers, sponges and vacuum cleaners. I am that way at work sometimes too. The pressure seems to give me good ideas. :shrug:

[Susang]

22. I think I'm addicted to the speed

At work I do everything so fast (restaurants tend to be like that) that I can't stand to slow down and take my time at home tasks.

Now why I don't clean like a maniac now and sit back and enjoy the rest of the day is another story probably only understood by a mental health professional! :-)

[GOPisEvil]

23. Enjoy now...enjoy later...as long as you enjoy sometime!

:-)

[Zomby Woof]

24. me too!

Then after cleaning, to celebrate the new set of pots and pans my parents sent us for our new home, I am making a candlelight dinner for Katy when she gets home from work. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

25. All together now...

...awwwwww!

You big softie, you! :D

[Zomby Woof]

30. Home made brownies for dessert!

Want some? :D

[GOPisEvil]

31. Oooooh! Brownies!

I just had one - not homemade though.

:9

[VelmaD]

33. Mmm...brownies

Small world. We've got brownies at work today.

FYI in Austin, the brownie bites from HEB are fabulous. Yumm

DV

[GOPisEvil]

34. HEB...feh!

When I want brownies, and I feel like buying them, I go to Upper Crust. But then I see the carrot cake and forget all about the stupid brownies. :9

[Susang]

26. What kind of pots and pans did you get

I'm a Calphalon gal myself. :-) I didn't know that cooking could be so easy until I got my set. It's amazing how you don't burn anything when the heat is uniformly distributed.

[Zomby Woof]

29. Stainless steel

Don't know the brand without looking, but they're a step up from the cheapo aluminum ones I had with the Silverstone coating I used for 10 years as a bachelor. :-)

[XNASA]

27. You wanna use our place? We're clean freaks!

Cate and I will dress up and pretend we're the maid and the butler.

[Susang]

28. What do I tell them about your kids?

:evilgrin:

[XNASA]

32. No biggie..

Aron is never around anyway.

And James could pass as the sous chef.

The biggest problem will be gettin' rid of all mkuhl's willies once you leave.

[Cheswick2.0]

35. put on some really loud rude music that makes you dance

and get to it woman.

[arwalden]

36. Hey lady, you lady cursing at your life....

You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But I wish some one had talked to me like I wanna talk of you…

Ooh I've been to georgia and california and, anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun but I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me…

[Susang]

37. But I have been to "me"

Nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there! :evilgrin:
