Lists, Now in List Form

[itsallovernow]

Flist, I am relying on you to keep me honest. There are things in my house, things that MUST be done. And I've got no excuse this weekend. I am at the mercy of the housekeeping people. It's got me on my knees, ready to deal me a killing blow!

So, by Monday morning, I expect inquiries into the states of the following:

1. My bathroom (are sinks supposed to be that color, oh wait, that's the cat. Oh wait, that's just his hair!)

2. My bedroom (I have a closet. It's for putting things in. Yes, so is the floor, but the closet is better. It might even hold the suitcase that the cat has now adopted as his bed. Cat, that is not a bed. That's a motherfuckin' suitcase!!!)

3. My living room (assuming it has survived the reign of Emo M, master of his nothing to destroy domain).

4. My closet (there better be 50% fewer shoes and clothes in there by Monday morning).

5. The trunk of my car (I seriously should take out the bellydance paraphenalia before it gets jacked like a bunch of other stuff just did).

6. My short story (which there should be 50% more of come Monday morning).

7. My laundry (I'm down to the grannie panties. The one's even my granny wouldn't have worn. Plus, you know, it's time those jeans stopped walking around my room on their own like demented torsoeless zombies.)

I am a housekeeper who needs to be accountable to people. Neatness does not come naturally to me.

Oh God, Thea,I laughed through a mouthful of breakfast at this :))
I too am a housekeeping monster. To the degree that last week I desperately begged my mum to help me clean the flat, because I couldn't tackle the dust dinosaurs and various horribles alone. She did, because she's that sweet. But then the same day I got to listen to a loud old man on the tram explain his partner what a solid proof of weak character it is when adults ask their mothers to clean up for them. Heh.

Hee! Your mother is a saint!! (And if my mother lived nearby I would COMPLETELY do the same thing;)

I solved the suitcase bed situation by standing the suitcase up. ;) He can't sleep in it and I didn't have to haul it down to the basement! \o/ Of course, if I would clean my closet out, there might actually be room in there to store it. Yeah. That'll happen. /sarcasm Good luck with your housekeeping. I gave up years ago and am content to wallow in the disarray.

Hee - the sad part is that I have a system - my suitcases are nested together in my closet. I've just let sloth take over my life!

So how many of the 7 have you accomplished, now that the weekend is half-ish over?

(she asks, reveling in the irony that of her own, much longer, to-do list, she has...managed to buy a textbook.)

None. Sigh. I got none of those things done!
