Clean-Up

The reason why I do not enjoy and like having parties at home is the clean-up after the mess when the very last guest leaves. You see smudges of sauces on the floor, left-over cigars, dirty dishes, stale food, opened soda cans, sticky floor, and a total disarray of stuff.

I must admit, I grew up with helpers at home who would do all the cleaning and washing for my family. However, living in a foreign land does not give me that luxury to afford my own helper. So, I do everything myself even if I did not host the party. Sigh!

Clean Up Like Crazy

What does a dateless person do on a Valentine's Day while enjoying a much deserved rest and relaxation? Check Facebook? Play flash games? Walk the dog? Laundry? Press clothes? Sleep all day? Well, tempting as they may seem (they are honestly in my list of things to do for the whole week), I have to clean the house for the coming of spring!

I chanced upon some old clippings of diets that work stashed in my important documents file. I was surprised to see the dates on the articles I have clipped and printed. I realized how long I have been planning to put this weight loss goal in motion and always end up from scratch.

I am keeping the articles I printed for future reference. And when I say future, I hope that is the "near future." Meanwhile, I better get back to my cleaning duty before hubby comes home.
