"Purple puddles" plus an excess of god and inherent sexism. I'm not saying I shouldn't be using my own version of the control journal. What we need is a flylady for snarky, cynical sorts.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ginger is me. I've even thrown around the idea of a fly for godless cynics, which ultimately falls down on the total fail of my checklists and non-bleachiness of my own damn sink.

(including, naturellement, the failure of any "hey, let's start a new service"-type checklist.)

I can't take the sink thing seriously. I am not inspired by the lovely glow of my shining stainless-steel sink.

Thrive to spite them
In all the years people have talked about flylady I never checked out the website.
Ooookay. I can't use that website even if the info is good. One she's just too cutesy and 2 the website need to be updated.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The Flylady website just has way too many different things to look at at once. I start reading one box, then I notice another box and start reading that, and I have no idea what anything says because I can never finish a sentence.

I find her little winged logo highly offputting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, because aren't you supposed to swat flies?
Also, why do I have to wear shoes? A system that requires I put on outside pants and shoes is a system destined to fail for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We found this book very helpful: [link]
It gives you a way to organize when to clean what and lots of time-saving tips. He's quite bossy and thinks his way is the only way, but I just ignore that part. It really helped me clean faster and more efficiently, so I have to spend less time doing it.
