Cleanliness

Today I cleaned the whole house. From top to bottom. I haven't done that in a long time. I clean on a weekly basis and the house is always clean, but this was a deep scrub. It was exhausting.

Since being in this new house, I have become quite the house wife. I don't mean to brag, but I've really got this down! I feel like I'm always cleaning and always doing laundry, but everything always looks so nice. I don't have to be afraid of last minute visitors. I like it. Today's cleaning is particularly nice since we're likely getting a new recliner this week! (Yes! Another piece of furniture... we have a lot and always feels like acquiring more.) I am excited about working in the recliner while watching TV. This is of course when the hubs isn't at home. We need to fix the tv soon too... That's a whole different issue.

But a clean house sure does feel nice. It'll be the perfect backdrop for our [hopefully and finally] first fire. Yes readers, we keep having fireplace mishap after mishap so we haven't even had our first fire yet. But don't think we haven't tried with all our might. Tonight will be the final attempt before talking to a professional and/or buying new things. Wish us luck!

The agenda for tonight is simple and relaxing. Baked potato soup. A fire. Spending time with my love.
