Have you ever felt like you would rather clean house than blog? That's what I've been feeling lately. It's not that I have lost the desire to write. I have not. Like all good narcissists, I get life-affirming satisfaction from droning on endlessly to total strangers about the mundane details of my life. But, right now, I really want to clean my house.
The Boyfriend is coming to visit in exactly 24 days and I'd rather not be running around at the eleventh hour like a chicken with my head cut off trying to give the false impression that I am a paragon of domesticity. I prefer to slowly build that illusion over a period of weeks. Besides, it will take me at least that long to wash the mountain of dirty clothes that reside on the floor of my bedroom.
Not to worry, though. I'll be back in a few days. If past experience is any indication, this cleaning up business will get old really quickly. Until then, I'm gonna ride this wave of motivation until it crashes.

when the cleaning fancy strikes, take it!!
I remember when I used to care what Rodger thought of my domestic talents. :) Happy cleaning.
narcissists are often perfectionistic, and given the scope of the pile on your floor, that is clearly not the case with you. sorry to disappoint your self-diagnosis.
still, i wonder - if i cleaned my house 24 days in advance, there is no chance of it being clean when the guest arrives. even two days ahead would surely tarnish by their arrival. but then, i have a big hairy dog and live in a dirty city. alas.
have fun when he gets there!
Good luck with that project! When can we expect the next installment of your story? I now see the cruelty of my own delays in getting my Poor George story to an end.
CP, I'll be merciful and post the final installment some time this weekend. And yes, you are a cruel master of suspense.
When the BF comes over just be wearing the rubber gloves- he won't care how clean the bathroom is.!!! LOL
And no, I have never wanted to clean more than doing just about anything else.
Yeah, that wave doesn't come by me too often. I used to clean when I had exams to study for and then it hit when I had report cards to do...total evasion!
You have 24 days! Heck, it could get all dirty again long before then! This could be a painful and drawn out process...good luck!
24 days? Man, in 24 days my place would range from being clean twice to having been a HAZMAT site 3 times....
I thought about cleaning the house, but I grabbed a beer and stretched out on the couch 'till the feeling passed. Scarred the hell out of me, too.
I love to clean. I find it therapeutic. I even love doing laundry. Except at my new building because I always get stuck in the elevator coming back up from the basement.
I'm pleased for you, GrizzBabe, that things have progressed with your friend.
I trust you will proceed in the grandest tradition of Ladies, Goddesses and Bitches. Do enjoy the passionate life.
