Friday Five

OK, this is a Friday Five that's near and dear to my heart...

1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?


I hate putting away laundry. I am to the point where I enjoy sorting it and putting it in the washer and dryer, and don't even mind folding it, but somehow it always stays in its piles and takes days to get put away. sigh. I also do not like washing dishes, AT ALL, or dealing with the messy clutter that makes it so hard to do real cleaning like mopping floors, which I actually enjoy.


2. Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?

See above re: mopping floors. I also like making beds. This doesn't mean I make mine every day. But I should. It's such a satisfying chore -- five minutes, max, and you have a lovely tidy bed where there was a mess.


3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?

Ideally, I have a routine. I have really neat check-off charts for myself, and when I follow them everything practically takes care of itself. However, I rarely follow them. Man, that says a lot of negative things about me. *sigh*.



4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?

Um, no. Unless you count that I love rearranging furniture. You get most of the fun of moving, with none of the huge hassle.



5. What was the last thing you cleaned?

The last thing I did a very thorough cleaning job on was our living room, last night, while rearranging furniture. :) (see, the hobby is good for something!). I have done a lot of basic tidying and folded a load of laundry today as well. But the dishwasher looks at me disapprovingly every time I walk by. *sigh*
