Woke up at 8:00, after going to bed at 2:15 or so.
Made breakfast.
Cleaned the kitchen.
Swept the kitchen, bathroom, and basement.
Need to buy a dustpan ... been using a piece of paper.
Think I'm going to vacuum too.

Suggestion

Try out Swiffer if you haven't already. It works surprisingly well.

Re: Suggestion

Is it as revolutionary as they say? :-)

Revolutionary... no.

Not anything to buy stock in, but it beats the hell out of mopping or sweeping when you don't really have the time or energy.

Re: come on over...

You should swing by the Chicagoland area and take care of these dust bunnies behind my computer area. I'd do it myself, but they keep making faces at me and growling...

Heh

Today's comic strip, The Norm (couldn't actually find it online yet), has something you could probably identify with, then.

It shows Norm sweeping the floor, carrying laundry around, vacuuming while listening to a Walkman, coughing in the middle of a cloud of dust from the duster, scrubbing the floor while on his hands and knees, before he pauses and thinks to himself, "I try not to be sexist - but anytime I clean, I think about getting married."

If you cut out the front and the top of a cereal box (If it's standing up, facing you) it makes a good dust pan.
More rigid regular boxes that have the same shape as a cereal box will work better.

Panasonic and Daewoo both do pretty good vacuum cleaners; my Mum owns a really good Panasonic, and we just bought (blue) Daewoo that works well, picks up really good, but isn't as solid. If it's going to get knocked around or trodden on, you'll need one with a metal pipe rather than plastic.

I had a complete brainfart reading the entry ... he said he was going to buy a dustpan and then misread the next line, thought he was going to buy a vacuum too. Never mind :)

Why can't I choose a little icon on this entry? I want the "embrrassed" one ...
