Five days

Five days till go time.

We spent most of yesterday and today cleaning rugs and putting together our new bed frame (wahoo!) and petting the quilt that my mother-in-law made for us as a wedding gift. She's seriously about the cutest little old lady ever. Pictures of the quilt to follow.

It's still raining here in Boston and I just wish it would stop. I don't want to spend my last five days stateside sitting inside and swiffering out of boredom because that's just a sign of illness my friends, illness. That and I'm almost out of swiffers. I've tried training Sam to not shed but it just does NOT work. I think that dog can projectile shed, seriously.

This will be short as I'm tuckered out from housecleaning and World Cup watching. Tomorrow is the last day of the season at Trinity. We don't have rehearsal between services so I see a trip to the bakery happening, with a very large cup of tea in store. To the Spiehlers and the soon-to-be Broadheads, watch your mailboxes.....

I would have never thought of you as someone with an indoor pet. It is like you bought yourself an enabler to your cleaning addiction. Dog hair justifies your need to clean.

Nothing, except maybe the fact that he is losing his effin mind, stands in the way of my husband's need to clean. He scares me. And I thought your dad scared me. My karmic punishment for leaving my shoes too far in the middle of the hall at your dad's is now that I am married to someone with a shoe RACK.

I have converted my otherwise bachelor husband into one who cleans and picks up shoes. This was not accomplished with hypnosis, though I did consider it for a time. My karmic punishment for being a clean freak is that my dog seeks out the newest and cleanest piece of carpet and rubs himself all over it.
Also, having a dog does not only enable my cleaning fetish, it also enables my need for large-scale industrial-strength cleaning tools. My next purchase will be a Dyson vacuum. I promise.

Laughs the man who uses a shop vac to clean his carpetless house.

Hey man, I'm just waiting to get a bigger shop vac - we have zero carpet other than our rugs, but they make up for the space. Laugh all you want, you're getting a noogie next time I see you.
