Simple Pleasures, #20
I know, I know. I slacked off for the entire week. But I’m sure you’re used to it by now, right? Right. So you know I’ll make it up to you. Frenzied multi-posting to ensue. For now, I’ve got one for ya.
Company. Don’t you love having people over? Okay, I do anyways. I’m a social creature, and as such… with a toddler… it gets difficult to fill this dance card with any satisfaction unless people are willing to come over. And here’s what I’ll always do in return: cook somethin’! Yeah! Last night some friends came by for a dinner of mmm-mmm-gimme-some shepherd’s pie. I love making this dish because it’s easy and a huge crowd pleaser. Never fails. (And, of course, there’s always lunch leftovers the next day!) But I was talking about why I love to have guests. Another reason is that it’s the surest way to make sure I get off my butt and clean this danged house. I mean, I’m tidying everysecondofeverydayalways but, you know, sometimes you just need that extra incentive to actually go mop the kitchen floor. Give that bathroom a good once-over. I am just not the sort that does well with “on Tuesdays I clean the laundry room”… unless I think someone is coming over and will ostensibly see it and then I hop right to it! Yesterday I was tired as tired could be. Kid had gotten up at 6:30 am (a most unreasonable hour) for the 4th day in a row. I was so whooped, but I knew they were coming over later… they’re coming over real soon! Oh crapazoids! Shazam! Bathroom is a-sparklin’! Pow! Desk is organized! Zing! Dog-hair off most visible surfaces! And best of all, I get to sit around in this nice environment after the people have gone on (and believe that my house always looks like this- mwa ha ha ha ha!) I think I’ll go make myself a mocha in a clean cup…
