'Objects In Space'
[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.

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.
I don't get the shoes thing either. My dislike of the shoes and clothes is one reason I work at home. Also, when my mother still had the energy, she was a housecleaning machine. The woman used to wash walls. She habitually did all her housework in her pajamas, then got dressed. Sometimes that was at 3 p.m., but she would have done more cleaning in that amount of time than I do in a month.
Seconding Scrappy's book rec, which I had totally spaced the title of! It's actual techniques and advice on tackling cleaning things in a quickie pass vs a more thorough job, with no glurge about how you obviously have no self-respect if you don't keep things clean for your man. I should dig it out from under whatever pile of clutter it lives in.
Purple puddles are happy tears. I like the shiny sink, I think because it's easier to talk myself into cooking food if there's not already a pile of nasty dishes to deal with.
I am going to have to check out Batlady! And the book rec.
There were a couple of cleaning/organizing books in with the others I got off freecycle. Speed Cleaning book was one of them and the How Clean is Your House book.
I guess the idea behind wearing lace up shoes is that you are wearing actual clothes versus pjs and slippers. Or something. I don't like wearing shoe, esp in the summer. So I'll only wear shoes sneakers if I have to wash dishes or cook (if I'm barefoot my legs/hips start to hurt. I really want a gel cushion pad for the kitchen).
I have a black sink of some sort. I love that it needs no polishing
I don't polish my sink, I just give it a quick wipe and then dry it. Keeps the Lutherans from breeding.

Took a nap and now I'm gronky.
DH really cleaned the house yesterday ( house concert last night ) while I was walking 19 miles. I'd like to keep it closer to this condition - so I just order speed cleaning - because that is part of what i need is some efficiency. Home comforts gave me the idea of schedules - Fly lady gave me a lot of the break it down to small parts and I have a system that worked well when I worked part time, but I need some new ideas for full time
I just had potato kale soup with chorizo. Really good. And leftovers will be lunch tomorrow, so I don't need to make anything else for that.
