TO CLEAN OR NOT TO CLEAN

Not to clean ... always my answer. Or, usually my answer. Either way, I'm not very proactive about cleaning. You know when I do clean? When a cleaning person is coming over. (can you still say cleaning lady? maid?)

My obsession with deals has already been blogged about ... but remember that deal I made with myself? (drinking game - how many times can I use the word deal?) I can buy them if they are related to me becoming a domestic type gal. This one is a toss up for me because it's kind of a cop out ...

CLEANING SERVICE DEAL!

Cop out devil on my shoulder says: that's not fair. You're flunking the cleaning test because someone else is cleaning for you. You should be learning to find the joy in cleaning.

Cop out angel says: You're still finding the joy of cooking, so go ahead and splurge. Plus, it's proactive to schedule help when you can't do it all. I feel like that's something that my mom would say, and I consider he advice to be sound.

Deal breaker: BF and I decided that if we don't indulge in cleaning help, we'll never make it. It's the only thing we fight about. Once a week. On repeat. So there it is ... TO CLEAN! (with help)

I'LL KNIT YOUR BABY A BLANKET

Confession of the day: I am addicted to deal sites. And by addicted I mean, I spend a shit load of money on things that I would otherwise not need but since they're half off I must have. (excuse the run on sentence please.)

I tried to cut down on these deals but I started to get the shakes as I let them slip by ... so my new justification:

IF THEY ARE RELATED TO LEARNING DOMESTIC DUTIES I A

M ALLOWED!

Just in time to for todays Groupon ... ARTS AND CRAFTS!! Okay, okay, it's not really domestic duties. But if I limit myself to taking classes like knitting or crocheting it is ... right? My theory is that a complete woman should know how to make a baby blanket at a gift for a friend. I can't let my friends babies go around sleeping under store bought blankets. In my mind I can make this pile of awesomeness that I found at the PURL BEE site.

Confession #2 of the day: I've actually taking a crocheting class at HANDS ON 3RD before. It was really great ... I was just really, really bad. I was also the only one there alone. I guess most girls do that kind of thing for girly bonding?? Anyone want to make me feel better and come with? If you do I'll buy you coffee after ... and knit your kid a blanket ...
