Also dislike yardwork, but am getting used to it. What I really need are the following - a new sprinkler system, a good gardener, and a friggin maid.

I'm low maintenance. Just get me the maid. And she doesn't even have to frig.

No yard here, so no yardwork, pool maintenance, or sprinklers.

I forgot about mopping. I have such a tiny and unused kitchen that I never mop. Mopping does suck, but scrubbing the tub is still worse.

Yes, sheets must be changed. Anybody who has read anything about dust mites will agree.

You're lucky Lindsey had some sort of profound effect on me last night. The hatred might just pass before the high

You underestimate my ability to p!ss you off.
Funny how the right cheetah print can make you stand out in a crowded arena, eh?

I think you're right. Scrubbing the tub is a bitch. Or the shower stall, but that's easier then the tub. Plus, I have one of those garden tubs in my master bathroom. You literally have to get in it to clean it.

Ya... scrubbin' tubs takes the cake.

Oh, do I?

Choosing the perfect cheetah print...that's very important concert preperation indeed.

It's the worst part even for those of us with only one tub that isn't garden size.

I don't LIKE doing any of it, so the very best I can hope for is "don't mind". I don't mind cleaning the kitchen or bathroom...anything that involves the sanitation end of things, I can handle. It's when we hit the tidying end of the spectrum that we hit a wall. I just don't do it. Period. I can't. Physically and mentally incapable. My boyfriend calls me Pigpen and can only take it for so long before he takes over my personal messes. (Okay, I've gotten a little better over the years, but I still need a lot of work

.) My absolute worst is putting away laundry. I can do the loads just fine, but I constantly have a massive "clean clothes heap" that I select from daily. I finally at least started laying out my jeans flat while they are still warm because I was tired of looking like I had crepe paper for legs. And if I'm working on some type of "project" (art or recording a bunch of videos or something)?! Fageddaboudit! It looks like WWIII until I finally clean it up about 2 months later. Anyone have organizational tips? I think the mess, over time, can contribute to insanity.

I don't have tips, but I will say that I don't like living in a mess. I'm not a neat freak; I can throw things down when I come in but they don't remain there for long. Laundey is folded and put away immediately because I hate to iron, and all work clothes go to the cleaners. Works for me.
