    That sounds like one amazing party.

      LMBO! That is a fantastic idea! I was just imagining what it would be like to come over for a dinner party. Hilarious.

            I tried Flylady once and then when I was hating her, I decided that perhaps her method wasn't a very good match with my personality type.

              I'm just thinking about what happens when I wear shorts in a hot car with leather seats - majorly stuck! I don't think the dude or your DH will be too happy about being stuck to plastic

                Me too. Honestly, she bugs the hell out of me. Probably because she keeps telling me to clean the house and put on my shoes but whatever.

                Jenn, I was just telling dh that we should have done all concrete floors with drains in each room and a water spigot on each wall so cleaning would simply involve a hose, lol!

                    Jenn, I didn't know you were moonlighting as a comic strip artist.

                      I tried Flylady once too, but she bugged the crap outta me . Although I did actually clean my kitchen sink like she said and I'd never seen it that shiny before. My cleaning schedule is more like "Monday - kitchen; Tuesday - living room;" ... etc.

                      I need to do an all-out cleaning too. Although now when I tidy up around the house, before I put something up I look at it and say "would I want to pack you up and move you across the country?" If the answer is no, I get rid of it.

                        Haven't looked at flylady in quite a while, but I'm having good luck keeping up with the steady mom system: http://www.steadymom.com/2009/02/org...ing-house.html (I'm not an adherent of the rest of steady mom--I find her a bit twee, I guess--but her cleaning system works for me.)

                        Similar but far too elaborate for me is Motivated Moms: http://www.motivatedmoms.com/2010HalfSize-sample.pdf For some people more ticky-boxes to check off = more joy, though, so I can see how that would work.
