This is not my beautiful house...
In a sad little attempt to keep my apartment a little cleaner, I signed up for a mailing list that offered to email me a cleaning reminder every day. The first one was useful: today, clean your desk. Yeah, that's cool. Frequent small reminders like that should help keep things under control.

The next day: "Choose one of your vehicles and clean it."

Choose one? Clearly I'm not the target audience here.

It's becoming even clearer that my lifestyle isn't really the same as most of the subscribers. "Straighten dresser(s)." (I don't have a dresser). "Bathroom: Pick up dirty clothes." (Who leaves their dirty clothes in the bathroom more than occasionally, by accident?) "Clean high chair." (Right. I guess kids leave their dirty clothes in the bathroom.) "Wash, dry, fold, and put away at least 2 loads [of laundry] per day!" (If I did that, I'd wash all my clothes within the week. Twice.)

These people also consider taking out the garbage to be a daily chore. Daily? How much freakin' garbage does the average American family generate daily, anyway? Don't answer that.
