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.
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.
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.
Hil, I think we need houselves, no? They can wash the floors, do laundry. We'd promise to let them be free and treat them humanly, right?
Exactly.
I also need sheets that actually fit my mattress. My fitted sheets aren't deep enough, and they keep popping off the mattress while I'm sleeping. Why are the deep-pocket sheets so expensive?

I think my favorite part of Sean's recipe is that includes orange zest.
My eyes well up at the thought of him zesting an orange.
I can't believe Trudy has a place with separate rooms! That's astonishing. Are you still in the same area of the city?
I need to mark Sean's recipe. Le yum.
So in meme news, I woke up crazy. I had intense dreams all night, and what's worse, intense rejection/self-esteem dreams. I woke up still half in that dream world feeling rejected and unloved (which, yes, I know is insane) and generally out of place in my current reality. Ack!
Also, I was supposed to not have any subbing tomorrow so I could ease back into my school life (my 9th graders are all on their field trip, so no regular classes), but I just got an email asking me to sub all day. Argh.
