I am debating getting some one to give our house a good cleaning. We have spent the last week at Zach's parent's house and it is so clean.

I love their basement couches. If we get a cash bonus this year I might look for ones like that on Craigslist. Our current couch had to be repaired with a lot of duct tape.

Our anniversary was really nice. We spent the night in a historic hotel in Livingston, MT and then went to the museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. Lots of mountains.

I am pretty sure I have gained weight on this trip. We have decided that we are going to work on eating better once we get home.

I have been really bad about wearing my mouth guard this trip so my jaw keeps hurting.

I feel like I have had a great vacation. I really needed a break, I was getting grumpy at work more than usual.

I haven't really been charting or using OPKs this month which has been a lot less stressful.

My parents-in-law got me long-arm time for Christmas. I love it. However, it is so expensive in Minneapolis. Still, I can finish a quilt in so much less time, it might be worth it.

I feel pretty lucky in life.

I miss my kitties. It is weird to wake up and not have Harriet taking up most of the bed.

I can't wait to have a house so Zach can get a dog. He would love that.

I'm glad you had a good vacation!

Groupon and LivingSocial have deals all the time (at least around here) for housecleaning. You should take advantage of that! I'm sure something similar is in play in Minneapolis.

I would but Zach isn't as into it as I am. Oh well.

What is long-arm time?

I used a machine like this to quilt the quilt:

So you get time on the machine? Like cycles on a supercomputer? (:

Far be it from me to discourage anyone from hiring a cleaner - I've done it for years - but I do find that the biggest impediment to cleaning at my house is the "stuff" which isn't the type of thing most cleaning services will contend with. Once the "stuff" is gone, actually cleaning things never seems like much work.

See I found it just the opposite. I would always pick up stuff and put it away the day before my cleaning lady was due to show up. Now that I no longer have her coming I don't put anything away! :(

We are actually pretty good with "Stuff". I tend to put things away and all that but I am bad at washing floors, cleaning the shower and deep cleaning.

Plus I feel like we need a deep clean. Of course part of the problem is that I really just want my house done but that is going to be awhile.
