Crash cleaning... »

I feel like I have some big test tomorrow! But in reality I just have a handful of close friends coming in from out of town for a weekend of NFL draft fun.

The pre-test anxiety is mostly thanks to how trashed my house has been lately (having two small children def. keeps you locked in a state of chaos almost 100% of the time). The really funny thing is that we will all probably only be at my house to sleep...the rest of the time we'll be in the city or out goofing off somewhere.

Still, I am inclined to clean the place up at least a little...so that things are only in a state of general chaos when my friends arrive (as opposed to the mass chaos that is the norm.).

My sister and I once had a related conversation about this...we thought that it was funny (and a little bit sad) that anytime before you have a cleaning person come clean your house (like a Molly Maid or something)...you end up spending hours cleaning! Just knowing that someone else is going to come and see how you 'really' live is motivation enough to get you to do work...even when the very reason they are coming is to do the same work (hopefully better than you do though!)...

Anyway - I'm just about done digging threw the toys and I've finally found our floor again...so it's about time to crash on the couch, eat some ice-cream, and catch up with my wife's day.

Depending on what we do this weekend (and how much we drink)...I may not get a chance to post again for a couple of days...since I don't want you to be bored with nothing to read, I suggest you use the time to read a friend's VERY interesting blog - http://custompcsoftware.com/blog/.

Learn it. Love it. Live it.
