Ok, so back to me, me, me. Heh. Yeah, I'm a piece of shit and didn't clean my house. Why? Well, I'll tell ya...
Um, no reason.
No *legitimate* reason, that is. SO! I have an action plan! I knew that the only way I was going to feel motivated to do anything was if someone would be coming over to see it. Which so far, no one has. (which actually has been the PRIMARY reason it got to this condition in the first place - in Memphis and Atlanta people were over constantly.) So, yes, because people in New Jersey are not friendly, my house is a disaster. (Boy, I can justify anything in my own mind.)
Anyway, today I told Kristine that she has to come over this week. She's known of my desperation to get it cleaned, but I don't think she reeeeaally understood the extent to which it is unpresentable. I told her that she could pick a day, and that I would have it cleaned by then. She laughed and agreed, but we couldn't come up with a time when either of us would not have something going on.
"Sooo, why don't I come over tonight?"
*pause*
"Um, that's not gonna work. We're talkin' a three-night minimum job."
"Really??"
"Uh Huh." *nodding emphatically*
"So, why don't I come over and HELP you?"
"What?? NO!"
"Heh. Why not?"
"You don't understand. I wouldn't let the *pizza* guy come over right now."
"Come on! We'll get some beer, it'll be fun!"
"It's really bad."
"So? I don't care."
"No, I mean like, you can't see the floor in my bedroom."
"Hahahaha!"
"Seriously."
"Heh. (pause) Seriously?"
So, yeah, Kristine is coming over to help me clean my room tonight, because apparently I'm twelve. However, this twelve-year-old is going to be enjoying an icy cold Amstel light as I Swiffer my bathroom floor.
Yes indeedy. Cleaning can be fun.
