omg happiness
Jan. 29th, 2005 11:44 pmShe came. She saw. She conquered!
Maribel rules. She was so nice and thorough. Since I couldn't spend $1000 on house cleaning, we agreed to tackle things slowly. But I mean, she reorganized my kitchen and bathroom. She's cleaned everything except the few areas I wouldn't let her clean (to her eternal sadness), like my desk and bookshelves.
Everything smells clean and nice and happy. All the trash is tossed. The floors are immaculate. Well, except for a few kitty puke-spots on the carpet that I need to spot treat tomorrow. My bed is even made except for the duvet cover which I've developed a sort of issue with.
I busted my ass all morning and the 6 boxes next to my desk were finally dealt with. My desk is still covered with books but I plan to come home tonight and organize my shelves. And I need to buy a filing cabinet which I am geekily excited about.
She was so funny. She left saying that she felt bad because she wasn't able to do a really complete job, but she understands that I can only spend so much on this (her price is $25/hr and that adds up pretty fast). So she's going to come back in a month and we'll deal with the blinds and the closets next time.
Must send thank you note to Meghan for recommending her.
Omg my place is so clean and happy and just...omg YAY! *shrieks*
Sarah's coming over now to pick me up for movie/dinner with Judy & Co. Then we're going to hang out here. And tomorrow Sarah is going to come with me to Swanson's Nursery and we're going to pick out some winter-friendly plants for my balcony garden and clean up that area. And possibly my car. If I have any energy left, I'm going to deal with my two hall closets. Linen and coat because they need reorganizing, too!
My life runs so much better when my flat is tidy. I can't believe I let it lapse into such a mess for so long!
Things I need to buy:
cd organizer
more bookshelves, though no idea where to put them
lamp for living room
1 inch quiche pan
And there was something else, but I can't remember it now *frown*
And I forgot to post this earlier. Loved Sideways. Sarah loathed it, as predicted. Indian food was fabulous. Great to see everyone tonight. And we came back to my place to watch some really weird X-files episodes. And now I am so so so tired that I need to go fall into bed.
