Too Much Domestic Stuff
These days – when I’m not playing my Mafia Wars addiction on Facebook – I’m finding all sorts of things to clean or replace in my home.
Today we replaced those little separator things that separate the carpet in one room from another. I happened to notice that one room had a gold one while there were two silver ones on the others, and one room had none, so I needed to have them all there, and all silver.
I’ve spent so much time washing walls, washing furniture – yes furniture. Oh, let me tell you. I had a chair that I’ve had the carpet cleaners clean for me before, but the other day I noticed it had zippers on it. So I figured, ‘hey, I can take those off and wash them in the washing machine’. So I did.
That worked out fine, they were washable, and I didn’t put them into the dryer because I didn’t want them to shrink.
But guess what? I had four cushions on that chair, so four coverings, they all came out clean, but the zipper broke on two of them.
So while I have clean coverings, I can’t use two of them because the zippers broke. Of course that meant that I had to take them to the dry cleaner to replace the zippers. It’s only $24 to replace those zippers. So my big home clean up is now costing an additional $48 to replace zippers.
Maybe a home is better when it’s not so clean. What do you think?

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I think clean is better, regardless of the cost.
