CLEAN

Last night at 6 pm, a sweet little lady showed up at my house... to clean it.

Pick your jaw up off the floor.

First of all, the gift of Heidi was a gift from my mom. She bought one hour's worth of cleaning on a Groupon a few months ago and presented it to me as a gift! I was thrilled... then insulted... but then thrilled all over again.

Secondly, one hour's worth of cleaning the shoebox I live in can really go along way if you let it. She got halfway through the apartment. When she arrived, I told her to focus on anything with a tile floor (which is basically the bathroom and kitchen).

And focus she did. While she was cleaning, so was I: folding laundry, hanging clothes, etc. We both sang along to Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift while we worked. It was adorable.

My apartment is so clean and shiny. I don't think I'll get in the habit of hiring housekeepers too often (yet), but it sure is nice every once in a while. Like going to the doctor for a checkup. Sometimes, you just need professional help. Thanks Mom!
