I've got tile in the kitchen, which is pretty but really hard, so anything that I drop breaks.
'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ugh.
We have hardwood floors. It's pretty old, so it's peeling in places, but it's still so much better than carpets or linoleum. Even better? Both the bathroom and the kitchen have tile floors.
I really need to scrub floors, but vinegar. The smell kills me.
You do get used to it (well, I guess maybe not everybody will get used to it...), and it does dissipate after a couple of hours.
And I'd rather smell vinegar than some chemical smell.
I don't like either, which may explain the state of my floors. Of course, scrubbing takes time & effort, neither of which I have in abundance on a regular basis.
I generally try to sweep each night (though I've been slacking on that lately), and then scrub when they're starting to look too gross. I probably should mop every once in a while in between the scrubbing, so that they don't get too dirty, but my cleaning tends to be in spurts, rather than any sort of organized everyday thing.
Add orange oil to vinegar. Smell not as bad.
I don't have the money to do this, and suspect most buffistas don't either, but lemon juice works even better than vinegar. (I did use it it once salvage a pan that stuff had just bonded to on advice of a friend. ) If I could buy lemon juice for two or three bucks a gallon I'd totally use it instead of vinegar.
I am in my living room. It is an entirely different room than my bedroom. And, at this very moment, in this seperate and fascinating room, I am watching Dr. Who on BBC America. The Doctor just fought off some kitty nurses and saved the human race. As he is wont to do. (It's an old one, fear not the spoilers).
"Living with other humans" has its drawbacks, but big sunny apartments and satelite TV are not two of them.
I am making this today in prep for making it again for mother's day: [link] A co-worker brought it in recently and it was sooo good!
A living room as an entirely separate room sounds very nice.
I really need to do laundry. I really don't want to do laundry.
