This house is clean
Many, many years ago, a co-worker used to comment on how she needed to go home to clean because the cleaning lady was coming the next day. This was something I could never comprehend. If a woman was coming to clean your house, why do you need to clean it first? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Yesterday I got an estimate from Silvia to clean my house once a month. I spend most of my weekend doing yard work or cleaning the house but I feel like the house is winning. Silvia cleans my friend's house and her parents house and they love her so I got her number and actually called. She came out yesterday so I could meet her and she could see the place and give me an estimate. Her estimate was extremely reasonable so she's coming tomorrow morning.
After she left, I immediately knew what my co-worker meant. Looking around the place, I realized that I needed to clean up the clutter so she could actually clean. So I have spent the entire weekend attacking the clutter. Having a cleaning person come is like watching that show, Hoarders. I was tossing stuff right and left, filling up the recycling bin with magazines and junk mail, and getting together a box of stuff to donate.
So yeah, to get your house cleaned, you first have to clean your house.

Of course it never occurs to men to maybe put some pants on! I wasn't here when they came today. My friend who recommended them, leaves them the key so that's what I did. The massive framed PG hockey sweater is still here so I'm good with that. Plus, it's fun to come home and see what they cleaning fairies did.

I hope you stick around and maybe still have a place in your writing heart for Brass. I miss your fics.

I share your not thrilledness with CSI this season regarding Brass and Catherine's friendship. It's mostly just pissed me off, as my blog entries will confirm. However, I may still write the pairing. Most of my Brass/Catherine fics are AU anyway and I still love their rapport in the earlier seasons, before aliens sucked out the writer's brains, so I can deal with what's going on currently. That is, when I get back to that pairing. Right now I'm having too much fun with Brass/Annie.
As for where you can go, might I toss something out there? It occurred to me during a conversation with
