I’ve thought about starting some kind of “housecleaning circle.” It seems everybody likes some parts of housekeeping, hates others. If I could just get the right combination of people together, we could just do the parts of each others’ houses that we _like_ to do, and all of us would thereby have clean houses all the time. Yeah!

Dishes I don’t mind at all. I live alone and I long ago got in the habit of washing what few I use right after I’ve eaten. No biggie.

Yup, me too – and paper plates make it all that much eaiser. Like **enipla** said, cleaning up as you go along helps a lot. The same goes for Hoser’s litter boxes; I’ve got one in the bathroom and one in the utility room. It’s like, “hey, since I’m already in the bathroom I might as well take two minutes and scoop.” I have to pass the utility room to throw out the Bag O’ Catpoop anyway, so another two minutes out of my day is worth not having to deal with a litterbox that has been neglected for days. That just makes me want to avoid it even more.

I hate changing bed sheets. I love fresh sheets but damn, what a pain in the ass.

Are you kidding? Not only would I feed you for that, I’d pat your back to help you burp after dinner.

Sounds good, except for the MI-CA Doper rivalry thing. Ummm, You’re Female, Sane, and heterosexual? I’ve yet to hit that trifecta.

Well, one out of three ain’t bad. Still, I’ll do just about anything to get out of having to vacuum.

Now I’m curious which one of the three. Sounds like we’d still make good roommates.

I’m getting back into the swing of the feeding myself thing. Tonight I had mac ‘n’ cheese with tuna a salsa verde. I got hungry reading the ‘food for poor food snobs’ thread.
