Hahahaha! That is crazy vacuum talk! Once a week would make me feel like I was on top of shit. I do not vacuum that often. In part because that would require the floors to be cleaned enough of crap to be vacuum-able that often.

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.
What the world needs is a good housekeeping book written by someone who seriously fucking loathes housework. They're all written by people who are actually interested in the subject, which is probably good for the person who would otherwise be stuck writing about something they aren't into, but leads to crazy talk about cleaning every day.
Did I make it in the first 500? Boy, I never get to play here anymore!
I vacuum several times a day at work.
This translates into I never vacuum at home. Ok, never is to strong of a word. It happens, but not nearly as often as it should. I even have a fabulous new (well, got it at Christmas, but it's still like new for the number of times I've used it) vacuum cleaner that is light and wonderful.
I have finished the first coat of paint in the bathroom. We're watching an ep of VM and I'm eating while it dries. I like it so far - we'll see once it dries. God willing, it doesn't need a second and I can do the hallway and maybe get to bed at a decent hour befor starting on Emeline's room and mural tomorrow.

I think Peg Bracken did that, but the result was not as good as I Hate to Cook.

I do kind of like some of the housekeeping stuff, I just have no idea what I'm doing. Like, it just doesn't occur to me to clean under the couch cushions until I lose the remote and take the cushions off and realize how much dust and dirt and Cheerios and stuff is there. And the housecleaning aisles at stores have a thousand different tools and chemicals, and I get overwhelmed and can't figure it out. (Also, most of the chemicals make me feel sick. I recently bought a spray bottle of all-purpose cleaner from the health food store. The label has all kinds of stuff about how it's safe and non-toxic and good for the environment, too. I've been using it to clean most of my kitchen and bathroom stuff, and it works pretty well, but nothing gets that bright gleaming shiny look that stuff does at my parents' after the housecleaners have been there and cleaned everything with all that fumy stuff. I don't know if the issue is the cleaner or how I've been using it.)
If I can't use Scrubbing Bubbles or vacuum it, I don't really know how to clean it. Which leads me to realize, I need to Scrubbing Bubble all of the applicable things and vacuum the rest. Suck.
My floors get swept a lot more now that I have a roomba. This makes the dust that doesn't get dusted look all the more dusty. A person who wasn't me would probably dust because of it.
I covet Calli's roomba.
I need to get a replacement battery for my roomba. It died and won't hold a charge any more. It made a difference with the cathair.
