Kev is so supportive of my new purple phase, he decided to contribute.

Thanks Kev. I forgot to wear a collared top to choir tonight, too. Fortunately, the only person who noticed was our new bass soloist, who is SUPER gay (today he had remants of eyeliner and glitter from some apparently great party last night) and had sported one of his own a couple weeks ago. His comment? “tell your husband I said ‘good job.’”

HICKIES: 100% GAY MALE APPROVED

Today was CHRISTMAS in the mail, as both Netflix (Idiocracy) and my latest Ebay conquest came. What did I win on Ebay? A FURMINATOR. I have been lusting over one of these for a while, especially when vacuuming for the 10th time the wispy dog hair tumbleweeds that collect in the corner of my living room daily. But they’re close to $50 in the store. I managed to find one on Ebay cheaper, and I sniped it from someone who tried to again outbid me in the last minute, but I held out until 5 seconds remaining. TAKE THAT, BITCH! So even including shipping, I saved over $20 - sweet!

So, does it work?

You bet your sweet ASS it works.

And that’s only about 7 minutes worth of work. Not hard work, either. Just gently brushing with no pressure pulled off all that hair. Amazingly, she still has hair left.

And actually looks BETTER, even with her lame haircut, because the furminator takes out all the dull undercoat. So she’s back to looking somewhat shiny again! Hooray!

Now, the REAL test will be when I have to vacuum again.

Due to some fuck ups with scheduling hours and corporate policy BS, I only worked one day this week - monday. So I’m making the most of my days off by cleaning - INTENSE cleaning. Like, COMPANY is coming over, type cleaning. In fact, when I’m done, I just might invite some friends over for lunch, or something. THAT’S HOW CLEAN I WANT THIS PLACE. But instead of overwhelming myself by saying that I’m going to clean the entire condo, I’m going to clean one room every day.

so far:

Tuesday: kitchen, which I had let get in a very sad, dirty state. It is now blissfully clean and thoroughly sterilized. Also did mountain of laundry.

Wednesday: Sunroom, which had become a catch-all for junk, empty boxes, and various bits of paper. Also my yarn and fiber stash, which had TOTALLY lost all organization and logic. All that fixed - even the little table with Sadie’s treats has been cleaned off and organized. I’M THAT GOOD.

still to do:

Thursday: Dining room/Living room. If I can’t get Kev to get all his junk off the dining room table, I’m just going to grab one of the giant rubbermaid bins we have and just toss everything in. And then put it in his manputer room, which is the one room I will NOT be cleaning this week.

Friday: Bedroom/Bathroom. Our bathroom is truly disgusting - covered with dog hair and slimy soap scum. Cleaning bedroom will mostly involve sealing the vacuum space saver bags containing my winter clothes and moving them from out of that corner of the room.

That only leaves our entranceway, which has become cluttered, mostly with costco purchases. It’s all well and good to BUY that flat of bottle drinks, but where does one store it when one has neither basement nor garage? I hope to make Kev help me with this. BECAUSE HE OWES ME, DAMMIT.

Again, I make the promise to myself that once I get the place clean, I WILL WORK TO KEEP IT THIS WAY.
