Spring Cleaning Part 2

So we finally got around to cleaning the entire house - though not a bright, sunny spring day, on a cold, wet, and windy one. It started last night when a 2 pound bag of rice exploded on the kitchen floor while I was attempting to dump it into out rice container. This necessitated the complete cleaning of all counters and floor since, like an idiot, I walked around with a leaking bag of rice for a few seconds while deciding what to do. So once I got started - I... just......couldn't.........stop............

Okay so I went overboard - but it was all in the name of cleaning. I cleaned under the counters, under the table, under the cooktop - did you know that you could clean under the cooktop on a gas stove? You lift up the white ceramic top and it pops up like a car hood. Did you also know that the filth of human existence subsists under there? In addition I found out that not only does the cook top lift - the burners can also be removed for easier cleaning! After that I progressed to the most pointless point of cleaning - the top of the refrigerator. For being the holder of wine bottles and onions I have no earthly clue how that place got so earthly dirty!

The cleaning continued today with the mass overhaul of the rest of our house. Today I went on a vacuuming binge. I vacuumed every surface covered in fabric - literally. I even vacuumed the backside of the sofa - the side against the wall! I think it's genetic though. My mom vacuums almost everyday - she literally starts having a stress fit if she doesn't have time or is prevented in some way from vacuuming. I remember walking into my grandmother's house and she'd be doing dishes or scrubbing the floor or vacuuming in her bra and shorts.

I think I'll keep it to myself if I get that bad.
