just leave us at home

Feb 20, 2011 23:51

My mom usually has to nag at me like crazy for me to do household chores. I don't bother much because 1. her desired tasks tend to be silly things that I don't think are crucial (like, cleaning under the bottles of the fridge? instead of say, doing the dishes) and 2. I am certain that my efforts would be in vain when she messes up the kitchen again in the evening.

That said, I'm generally quite self-motivated to do some cleaning when left to my own devices. They're out of town, and over the past few days I've got the vacuum cleaner out, wiped the dining table, did a few loads of laundry (though I still procrastinate the ironing), and cleaned the whole damn stove top! Heh. To be fair, lots of credit goes to the DG for helping me out and giving advice from the Oracle on how to deal with nasty stains. Heh. Been trying my hand at cooking too, and I'm proud to say that my celery and potato peeling skills have leveled up! I even cry less when I'm cutting onions though they can be more finely chopped.

And I feel even happier now cuz I just saw this on FB, posted by my sister! "house smells so yummy when it's just me and sis! Chenyze LoveFood and her wonderful food experiments."
