clean sweep

... my new best friend. seriously. this shop-vac is amazing. amazing!

today after i ate lunch in ridgefield with ken (who left today to go to montana for a week to see his son), i went completely mental and cleaned the entire upstairs bathroom/linen/medicine closet. there were tons of boxes/bottles of expired medicines and really old suntan lotion. i also took down the tacky old bronze towel racks, soap dishes, etc. then i moved on to vaccuming the carpet runners in our upstairs hallway, which probably have never had any real attention paid to them in the five years that we have lived here (mind you, we have three cats). now i am trying to decide whether to start cleaning my side of the basement or read a book. long story short, i am completely insane. i am on a cleaning binge. anyone who knows me well may recommend a therapist.


my mother is going to be in texas over mother's day weekend. so, i am planning to clean the entire house while she is gone (and my sister is druggedly drooling after her wisdom teeth surgery). i may not make it through the weekend, but goddamnit, this house is going to be clean. everything could use a really good vaccuming/dusting... and it will be good for clark's (our cat who is allergic to dust) allergies. so, anyone who wants to come laugh/lend a hand/moral support that weekend is more than welcome to come over.

oh also! my sister is coming home tomorrow! yeay!

Don't you have hometown friends like everyone else?

Also, it's not fair for both Monks babes to be in CT instead of Boston. You guys need to swap locations weekly or something; I think that's a fair compromise.
