Who needs furniture? I am a minimalist. Sort of. I DO actually have some furniture. But I do not need much. The less you have, the less there is to clean. But I digress...no I have not read The Blog of Whoorl, but I shall check it out in the near future. Email me anytime if you need a 'toad fix'. Maybe I will send you some of the stuff Brooke and I are working on...some of it is really funny...and you appear in one or two or three of our Remember When Stories. Furniture???

I know I am exceptionally obsessive, but it only takes me about ten minutes to clean and I do it every single day, from dusting to vacuuming to everything in between. True, I do not have a toddler; I have pet snakes. If I lived closer to you I woulc clean and organize your house for you. Of course, you would have to pay me more than just 100 bucks because when I am anally thorough, I am anally thorough. By the way, Brooke and I are compiling our OCD stories (though mine make up about 98 percent) and thinking about writing a book about them. Some are pretty funny...some are not, as you well know. Yeah, that sure was a fun night scrubbing nasty grim off little tiny mini blinds. Woo-hoo!

I have someone come every other week (i was doing only 1x per month, but when the S.O. moved in he offered to pay for 2x a month.) It is heavenly, but you're right, i feel so badly the first sign pof messing it up. I also actually tidy up before the cleaning lady gets here (which completely stuns my S.O.) I asked her if I was the only one who did that and basically she said most people do. I do that so I can be sure that a) she's doing all the crap I don't want to do and has access to as much surface area as possible for the excellent cleaning, scrubbing, vacuuming and mopping she does (and that I am too lazy and sucky to do well.) i also do that to reduce the chance that she moves something important to somewhere I can't find it. The thing I can't believe she does that i LOVE is that she changes our sheets. I leave the clean ones there, and she does it. I hate changing sheets, don't ask me why. Anyway...you could probably not gross out a professional cleaning service...they have seen it all! Congrats again. Wow, sounds awesome, I’m so glad.
