First of all, I would like to say that Ashton Kutcher or however you spell his name sounds like a total grownup.   Isn't that nice?  It's very, very rare that Hollywood stars sound like grownups but this guy does, at least in this interview.  And I don't know anything about him so maybe he's done other interviews and NOT sounded like a grownup but he gets snaps for sounding like a Real Man in this interview.  So that's nice.  We should encourage Hollywood stars to sound like real human beings who care for others above themselves whenever they give us the chance so here it is:  WTG Ashton or however you spell your name, you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders.

He said about his wife, Demi, and her daughters by Bruce Willis:

“There is not a human being that I could love more than those girls and their mom. If I had a daughter that was of my blood, I wouldn’t love that child any more. I feel like I have three kids and we’ll see whether we’re given another child.”

I think that's just a fabulous quote.

I have discovered something very imp0rtant about myself.   Which, of course, I'm going to blog about. 

I have discovered that I am totally and desperately in love with having a completely clean and frighteningly tidy house.

It's actually sort of scary.

I think my incredibly wonderful, wise and witty dear friend Kate summed it all up for me on the phone one day when she said:

"I love a clean house but I hate cleaning house."

either that or the order was reversed:

"I hate cleaning house but I love a clean house."

Anyway, they're both pretty much the same.  Cleaning sucks but the results are fab. 

I used to be a failed FlyLady dropout.  The emails were totally a pain and the whole Routine Routine Routine thing wasn't enough.  You know what I never understood?

Cleaning sucks no matter what.

There it is. 

I needed some sort of cleaning plan or book or instruction manual that just told the God Honest Truth.  You can't use tricks to get away from it.  You can't try to Routine it away.  I was thinking that if I just read the right book or drew up the right plan or routine, that cleaning would Not Suck. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleaning sucks.  If you want a clean house, you have to sweat your rear end off.  You will smell like cleaning solution (whatever it is that you use) and a good portion of the day will be used CLEANING.   I clean my house, now, for hours and hours every single day, and now my house is clean.  And I am tired. 

The end.
