so fresh and so...



If only I was cleaning a kitchen with one of these... (via seesaw designs)


Today is cleaning day. I wish this was something we did often, but I won't lie...it's not. I have a pretty type-A personality in many other parts of my life, though when it comes to my personal space/desk/room/apartment, it's usually a...well, a mess. I promise I have good intentions to clean - that counts for something, right? Hehe.

Well, once in awhile Clean Michelle takes over and I go bananas cleaning my room and bathroom (though my mom may beg to differ...). Today I'm in charge of tidying up our whole apartment, while the boyfriend is in charge of doing our 3+ loads of laundry. I just don't like doing laundry - isn't it the worst? Okay, just me. :)

But this wasn't always me. When I was little, my best friend and I would, for fun, clean her whole entire house (which was not small). I'm talking windex, vacuums, sponges, etc. Yes, her mom would sometimes give us $20 to split (score!), which we would then go spend on candy from the general store (another thing I wouldn't do today). Oh, childhood...hah.

Sophomore year (just last year - wow, feels like eons ago), my roommate would clean our entire kitchen and bathroom, top to bottom. We loved her for it, but probably didn't thank her enough. (Thank you, Carolyn!) Now I'm feeling like I need to get into that habit because having a sparkling clean apartment feels awesome!

Anyway, I've tackled the kitchen and bathroom, and now it's onto the living room and bedroom. I'm feeling the urge to organize the bookcase and rearrange our furniture, too...muahaha. Who am I?







Who knew I could write so much about cleaning?

  2. get it! i must say, i am super glad every time i hear about other girls who keep a messy room. it makes me feel better about my life :)
    i mean...isn't there something extremely liberating about being able to have a place that is as clean OR AS MESSY as you want it to be? i love that.
