Stepford Wife Anyone?

Here's the deal. Today I am cleaning house. Spring cleaning of sorts. Because Andrew comes home this week. (As has made it into the blog a few times already. So sue me. I'm excited.)

I'm waving the swiffer wet jet around, dusting, washing rugs and sheets,* re-cleaning the office which had managed to stay clean after my last overhaul a few months ago for a lonnnnnng time, until my printer issues last weekend. I cleaned the bar shelves, and wiped the dust off of all the liquor (and we have a lot. Really. Dean Martin and the Rat Pack aint got nothin' on us martini-wise). Of liquor. Not dust. At least, not anymore.

And I'm actually really having, dare I say it, FUN. I'm beginning to worry about myself. Really. Did I, overnight, become an obsessive compulsive pod-Kim? Do you think you'd know if aliens snuck in, made a pod clone of yourself, and whisked the other you away to live in an alien zoo? Cause those of you who actually know me would know that I am NOT a housekeeper. NOT a cleaner upper in any big way. I mean, I don't live in a pig pen-- I keep the house pretty clean most of the time. But I don't get those pesky corners, and the ceiling fans pretty much have to clean themselves off. (And since I have a black cat, you can imagine what gets stuck in the corners and on the ceiling fan).

So in honor of my transformation, I am announcing this to be Housekleen day of the year. It may be a one time only event. One never knows with me.

I also heard from Andrew recently about future fun trips we'll maybe be making, including one to somewhere on the west coast of England, Alaska, and Boston. (They're all maybes. But cool maybes). I think he mentioned a couple of other places, but they slipped my windex-addled mind.

*I even bought a drawer organizer for my bathroom drawer-- which is usually a nightmare to find anything in. All my little colors of nail polish are neatly in rows in the drawer, waiting for my little fingers to find easily.

Oh yeah. And did you know they're remaking the movie? With Nicole Kidman? It's supposed to be out soon. What does that say about women's issues, dya think? I am interested to see what they do with it, cause the first one was good but under-rated.
