    Cleaning! I can't live in a cluttered house and I can't drive in an (overly) dirty car. Once I start cleaning I'm a firestorm and I just roll through and do it all. Last night I decided my shower was dirty so I used Comet/Ajax and scrubbed every square inch of it and between all the tiles in the grout and all the caulk and just did it all. Feels so good when you finish. Clean house, clean car, clean life, clear mind! :D

      I don't like cleaning, but I hate seeing a mess first thing in the morning significantly more. I won't go to bed unless the dishes are cleaned, kids' toys picked up off the floor, or that basket of clean laundry folded and put away. Some nights I could be totally exhausted, but I still won't get to bed until after midnight because I'm cleaning/tidying up.

      My wife certainly doesn't share this dislike of morning mess. She'll step over the toys, walk around the laundry basket, put her dirty coffee cup in the sink, and then go straight to bed. That's certainly frustrating at times. :)

        The only thing I hate doing is folding/putting away laundry, but my fiancé loves how much I like to clean. I think it's the main reason why she hasn't left me :P Just kidding, but really I often hear how 'rare it is to find a man that will clean'. Nonsense! I say! Who could live with a mess like this!?

      I agree that finishing, and having done something thoroughly, feel amaaazing!

        There's nothing quite like it, the more work you put in the better it feels in the end. I did my kitchen yesterday and cleaned the oven, stove top, under the gas grates, washed out the area we store the cats littler box, cleaned the dishes, disinfected all the cabinets, cleaned out the fridge, and reorganized my cupboards! IT WAS AWESOME!

          Whoa! That's impressive, getting all that done! And I'm so glad it was awesome : D

            Have you accomplished any huge projects lately?

              Not cleaning related, but I've been working on a video series project for the past few months and I finally think that I'm days away from the end! So that will be amazing to have done : D I can't wait!

              Wow a video series for a pharma co. That sounds incredibly intense. I wonder what the air in the room is like when a bunch of techs are all sitting around watching your video. Congrats on pre-finishing! :D
