Your Own Housecleaning Habits
Comments (21)I'm back, and I made a tentative schedule for myself. You're right, because there are more people and animals in my house, your exact schedule will not work for me. But I used the idea of it, and expanded, so I will start with this. As time goes on I think I will add to it. All of these things I already do, though not often enough. Having it written down will help me alot, so I thank you. This list is in addition to laundry and dishes, which I have to do daily in my house. I average one to two loads of laundry a day, and wash dishes once or twice also. So here's my new cleaning schedule: Cleaning Schedule Daily Sunday Clean bathroom. Sweep hallway and living room. Pick up clutter in hotspots Clean sinks. Monday Dust surfaces throughout home. Dust television and computer screens. Pick up clutter throughout home. Clean sinks. Swish toilet Clean old food out of fridge and wipe areas you can see. Tuesday Clean out car. Vacuum with shop vac. Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Clean kitchen floor with rag on hands and knees to get in the corners. Wednesday Clean bathroom. Sweep hallway and living room. Pick up clutter in hotspots. Thursday Sweep/mop throughout home. Pick up clutter. Clean counters thoroughly and wipe with bleach if necessary. Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Friday Clean off dryer and wipe down washer and dryer with bleach cleaner. Sweep laundry area. Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Clean bathroom mirror if needed. Saturday Dust surfaces throughout home. Vacuum carpeted areas Shampoo carpets as necessary. Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Pick one drawer or cabinet in the home and clean it. Monthly Week One: Clean ceiling fans Week Two: Clean all doors throughout home Week Three: Clean windows Week Four: Take everything out of refrigerator and thoroughly clean fridge, inside and out....See MoreBlonde Cook Book (joke)
Comments (10)Blonde jokes will never be as funny as the real thing. For example: Discussing compass directions with a young brunette receptionist who wanted to know which way her home faced & didn't have a clue. I explained that if she knew which way was East, she could figure it out. I got a blank stare so I asked her which side the sun came up on. Her answer: "The left". The office fax machine was set up so that after inputting a long distance telephone #, each user had to press a 'PAUSE' button before inputting his/her personal code for billing purposes, then 'ENTER'. The instructions were spelled out directly above the machine. At least 3 salespeople complained that they couldn't get their faxes through so the staff would walk them through it. When they got to 'PAUSE', that's what they did - they'd stop & stare at the machine for a few minutes before proceeding! None of these were blonde & all were making mid-6 figure incomes. You can't make this stuff up!...See MoreTGIF - Aug 14
Comments (11)katie, I've missed you too, I was blaming canning season. Alexa and amck, I can't even tell you how much I'd like to be in Maine, or anywhere there was that much lobster. I've read that lobster is cheap this year, $2 a pound in some places. not here in Michigan, that's for sure. Enjoy your vacation, Alexa, and your weekend visit, amck. Pam, I'd rather have a tooth pulled than go furniture shopping, my condolences, LOL. Skip the housework, it's summer, it's....um.....too hot. Yeah, that's it... Here, Amanda/David/Ashley/The Monkey Princess/Bruvver are all leaving with me after work tonight. We'll spend the night at Elery's and go to the Toledo Zoo tomorrow to see lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Oh, and hippos and polar bears and elephants and giraffes. (grin) The kids will all ride back together on Sunday, I'll ride back with Elery. He'll be here for a couple of days, so I took Monday and Tuesday off, a long weekend! We'll pick beans, the ducks need to be taken to the Amish to become, well, frozen ducks, LOL, that'll happen Monday. Tuesday I'm meeting a new forum member for lunch, hopefully, I'll post about that when it happens and then out to dinner Tuesday night with a co-worker of Elery's. With me here and him down there, not many of his colleagues have met me, they are accusing him of having an imaginary wife. (snicker) I'll bet he wishes that were true, some days. Anyway, this co-worker is doing some kind of long motorcycle ride for the cancer society and is going through Big Rapids, so we're having supper. Wednesday it's back to the grind.....

Comments (15)Trinity - if it's what I'm thinking of, they are called Scones up here and Indian Fry Bread in other parts of the country. Only job I was ever fired from, after several years, was from a restaurant for giving out their "secret" recipe! (And it was hanging right on the side of the refrigerator where anyone could see it! *shrugs shoulders*) LOL Ingredients 1 1/2 cups of warm water 1 1/2 Tbsp. Sugar 1 Tbsp. Yeast 1/2 tsp Salt 1 Tbsp. Shortening 3 1/2 Cups Flour Preparation Throw everything above into your bread machine, and set to the dough cycle (around 1 hour 30 minutes) You can make the dough by hand too (Mix, Knead for 15 minutes, and let rise for an hour). . Break off pieces of dough, flatten by hand, or rolling pin. . Deep fry in oil until golden brown (around 350 degrees). . Serve with butter and honey. Makes about 10 or so...See Morenicole___
