If you've been reading this blog for long, you know that I am a compulsive cleaner - but only when company's on the way. Well, a friend of the family will be here tomorrow night to stay for a while, so I've been pulling out the paper towels, rags, cleaners, vacuum, broom, mop, toothbrush and sponges. Yes, it's time to work myself into a cleaning frenzy!
It's generally relatively clean around here. I'm good at keeping the house picked up, the floors vacuumed, the dishes clean - that sort of thing. But I detest deep cleaning, and for the most part, only do it when I have to. Sigh.... I think I'll give myself one more night of freedom before I don the icky yellow gloves. I'll pop some popcorn and watch a movie. Yeah, that's what I'll do....
For awhile my wife and I were inviting friends over for dinner about twice a month. We use to joke to each other that the main reason we did it was to force ourselves to clean the house, and that the side benefit was to have fun with our friends.

popcorn is oh-so-much better than cleaning...
ALWAYS!
