The Friday Five
- What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most? Cleaning the bathroom. But I can't be bothered with such things because I'm going to see Cher tonight.
- Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?
Sometimes I actually like to do the dishes. The warm water is soothing, and I can listen to music and kind of relax. But that's not too often. Oddly enough, I don't mind cleaning other people's homes...except the bathroom. But I don't care about that because I'm going to see Cher tonight. - Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?
Sadly, I just clean when it's needed. Roommate and I never had time to clean on a regular basis. You know, our social calendars are always so full, and we're going to see Cher and all...who has time to clean? - Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?
Just make it look clean. My mother always said, and I'm sure if I got to talk to Cher tonight she would agree with me, especially with dishes, if it doesn't look clean, chances are it's not. But housekeeping is one thing I'm definitely not a freak about. - What was the last thing you cleaned?
The dishes. Yesterday morning. It took me ten minutes. Then I filled out a dozen more job postings, watched Regis and Kelly for the first time ever (and kinda liked it, but that was probably because Seth Green was one of their guests, and I adore him; he's so cute, and red [redheads are the best], and short, and just adorable), found my tickets to see Cher tonight, then, you know how it is. I'm starting to feel like a housewife.
Oh and about this quake business...I thought I was going overboard with my little story yesterday afternoon, but I watched the news last night and that was all they would talk about: roving reporters in the streets gathering the reactions of passers-by, checking out the USGS in Menlo Park with close-ups of the seismograph, pictures of the neighborhoods of Piedmont and Oakland. I always thought that people who lived in this area were numb to earthquakes, and kinda blasé about it. But no, of course not. It's news after all, darling, news!
