Battling My Dirt Demons (Your Domestic Advaice For The Day)

I'm going to be honest here. I am NOT clean by nature. I hate cleaning, really. Just to keep my house to the point where others would be doing a light once over takes a lot of work for me. I have gotten better over the years, but there were times when my house would have made a college student gag. But I have thwarted my dirt hording ways and I think I might be in the point in my life where I can maintain some domestic bliss, if not covered in cobwebs.This is why I feel it is important to add small nips of domestic lazy wisdom.

Here is today's...ready?

Get a shop Vacuum: Regular vacuums are great if you live by yourself and have no pets and your only bit of carpet is a 2x2 rug. For the rest of us, namely those with kids and dogs and husbands, all natural lovers of mud puddles and dirt, a more professional approach in needed.
Shop Vacs are multi useful. They can do windows, walls, pets, spiders and even sink drains, wet or dry.

I like to do a super vacuum about twice a month. This leads to large bits of dirt and dog hair that hang around for a while , but I love the "THWAMP" noise they make being sucked up the tube. I live for that noise.

So that is my advice , friends. And if , by chance, you happen to be like me in the unnaturally clean, it goes against my genetics, department. May the shop Vac be with us all.

Feck! S'hot!

Holy cow people! I chose to live in the mountains, not only because I feel it is the most beautiful place to live but also for is mild and cozy summers. Apparently someone left the temperature set on HELL this year because it feels like the deep south up in here. I don't do well with heat. It makes me a grumpy twat. If Alex and I had to live in the heat we would be divorced or I would be a widow.
But my real question is this, Is it this hot everywhere? I mean , it seems as if it were this hot in the gulf we would have the worlds largest deep fryer making crispy sea turtle sliders. (What? Too soon?)

Shit, it's almost too hot to type. I'm gonna go sit in an ice bath. What are you doing to keep cool?

Enjoy your Boom Booms
