So first I guess I should clarify my title. While I do leave the “house” for work everyday, I still consider myself a house-spouse. I guess that just means that I try to pay attention to things like household cleaning, cooking, organization and interior decor. I am however, genetically disinclined to do these things well. That’s why I have to come up with tricks and distractions for cleaning.

So here’s my first tip- save up podcasts to listen to while cleaning. Yesterday I had to do a lot of sweefering (that’s the process of sweeping dirt into piles using a Swiffer-ish device- feel free to use the term yourself) so I loaded up my iPod with the latest episode of The Best Show on WFMU and the time just flew by. Try it- I’m sure you’ll agree.
