Yesterday I discovered something new that my maid does. You know how when you have a tube of toothpaste and after a while the gunk gets around the edges of the tube and almost prevents the toothpaste from coming out. She cleans that as well. So far I have seen her do my laundry, my dishes, organize my garage, organize my closet, hang up my clothes, fold my pants, mop my floor, clean my toilets, make my beds, clean my showers, fold my blankets and towels, and even clean the bottom of my oven. I think I hit it big with the maid situation. Granted it's basically $100 every other week, but in my situation it is worth it. Before the maid, let me take you back to Texas Tech 1994... I had a dorm room the size of a large closet. In this room the floor was covered with clothes and newspapers and papers. The beds were never made, nothing was ever dusted. It was very snug. However as a result I would forget about certain things, like food. I remember the infamous banana that was found buried under the floor when I was moving out. I wondered how it survived so long without smelling. Then there was the roommate situation. I had this big wad of fungus growing in a box filled with blankets and towels. I didn't touch it for a year. It turned into one giant mushroom. What I am saying is that I am really lazy when it comes to housekeeping. I'm a "leave and let lie" kind of guy. But having this maid has shown me the joy of having a clean house. There is nothing like coming home and having your house cleaned. Sometimes I wonder if I really need a wife. After all, what are they useful for if the cleaning is already done? Just Kidding...
