Ok, it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I was doing so good for a while there; updating almost every day. I’ve been busy. I feel like I have three jobs: working as the office manager, working part-time for Heather (www.heatherknowsaustin.com), and working part time managing and working for www.classiccleaningservice.biz.
The good thing is, that I am enjoying doing all three and I want more of each. I don’t do too much for Heather, just tweaking her website and helping her with little things. The cleaning is almost all an evenings and weekends thing, and it’s keeping me busy, but it’s SO much better than Target.
Heather had an open house this weekend and I really wanted to go, but I was with Sara cleaning an office. Well, she did most of the cleaning, I just kind of hung out and occasionally did a little work. I am not collecting any money for that job though… it’s all hers.
This past Wednesday I went to see Dancing with the Stars on tour. It was ok. My sister had free tickets, so we went together. It’s MUCH better on TV. Of course, had I been sitting in the front row I probably would have thought differently. We were pretty high up in the stands, like as in we had to look down past GOD and the clouds to see the stage.
Ok, maybe not that far. We could still make out who each person was, but the sound was SO horrible that we could understand anything being said. Also, it was super weird because there was no MC. The show just kind of went on and occasionally one of the dancers would talk and explain things, but mostly we just sat and wondered what was happening and who was dancing.
The only “Stars” were Joey McEntire, Joey Fatone, Joey Lawrence, and Drew Lachey, all of whom I totally LOVE, so I didn’t know WHO TO WATCH! Drew Lachey is SO tiny that it was easy to tell which one he was, and Joey has no hair, so he was easy too. It was a little more difficult to spot Joey Fatone and Joey McEntire.
The funniest things about the show was all the slutty women. OMG they were EVERYWHERE in skimpy little skirts and shorts, with high heels. It was totally like a hooker convention. As we were leaving we saw too drunk slutty women stumbling down the stairs. How sad is that, getting toasted and a Dancing with the Stars show?
This weekend hasn’t been all that exciting. Friday night I went shopping with Paco and Sara. I got a Costco membership because I’m not a big fan of Sam’s and I thought it was be good for buying bulk cleaning supplies. I was wrong. My Costco doesn’t have hardly ANY cleaning supplies. I didn’t see one mop or broom. Sam’s has a bunch of cleaning stuff, so I’m thinking I may have to go get a refund on my Costco membership and get a Sam’s one instead.
Saturday I went to clean a duplex with my friend Michelle, way out in HUTTO. We got so lost, but we were having fun together, so it didn’t matter. The house was beyond filthy. It was so incredible nasty, but still not the nastiest I have cleaned so far. There were literally layers of dirt on EVERYTHING. When I vacuumed I would have to empty the vacuum container after each room because it would be full with dirt and hair, at least 2 inches high of DIRT. SO GROSS!
The baseboards had to be scrubbed with brillo pads to get all the dirt of of them, and the kitchen floor had to be pre-scrubbed with a scrubby sponge before we could mop it. The duplex didn’t have water, so we kept having to go outside and fill up our mop bucket at the neighbors outside spout. Thankfully, she was not home!
While I was outside filling up the bucket, I was apparently becoming dinner for the bugs because I have bites all up and down my legs, feet, and ankles. I couldn’t sleep last night because I kept waking up itching. Oh the pain… and it gets worse. We went to clean one other duplex and as I walking up to the door I got stung ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD by a wasp and on my cheek by a mosquito. I’m really surprised there is anything left of me after all these bites… I always knew I was delicious in every possible way. 
Anyways, the sting on the head hurt like you would not believe. When I was younger I was deathly allergic to yellow jackets and I had to carry a bee sting kit with me everywhere. I kind of just stopped carrying it and hoped that I was no longer allergic. Seeing as how I ran screaming from the house, waving my hands like a lunatic, and swatting at my own head, I didn’t really get to see if it was a bee, wasp, or yellow jacket… so I was a little anxious to see if I was going to be dying any second.
So needless to say, we stopped cleaning at that point and went home. I had a throbbing head ache, and I itched all over. Obviously, I didn’t die… thankfully, because that would have sucked.
Saturday night I didn’t do much because I was so tired. It took us 6 hours to clean that house in Hutto, plus all the driving and the getting lost. So Paco and I just went to go eat and did a little window shopping.
Today I went to get Sara and took her to clean an apartment office. She is not extremely familiar with Austin, so I usually have to take her to a location once so she’ll know where it is. So I hung out for a while, and then it started taking too long, so I started helping her a bit.
I’m doing laundry now and trying to clean up a bit. I have to go start dinner now I guess… I’ve run out of things to say and I’ve forgot already everything I wanted to write. Pity
