Happy Holidays?

Aww... bad dog. Is there a garage he can be in? D: That's what my friend usually does with her dogs when they're doing stuff around the house.

Usually when we had holiday parties over here, the majority of the cleaning fell on me, but since I was a kid my parents would help a little too when they could. Mostly I was in charge of doing the usual, the dishes, the kitchen, organizing stuff so when our family snooped around they wouldn't find out that we're a bunch of slobs... you know.

Now that we have a dog, and one that used to poop on the carpet on an almost daily basis at that, our carpets are completely ruined. We've tried several times to clean them (We've tried the professionals a couple of times, too) and it looks good for one day, but the stains always seem to come back a few days afterward. It's horrible. My parents are gonna just rip up all the carpet and replace it with wood flooring.

So I feel ya! :hug2: I hope everything works out, sounds like a lot of crap to do, and a very, very bad dog, lol.
 
Full-spectrum lighting. They use it in places like the Pacific Northwest where it's overcast alot, and in far northerly latitudes where it gets dark for months at a time. It looks like a shopping list item to me.
 
I seen the title and paid no attention to where it was posted because I automatically assumed it was a rant about people who are always politically correct not to offend folks by not saying Merry Christmas. Then, I read the post and realize quickly it wasn't that at all.

So... now, all I must say is this... I've been cleaning my home for a good month now. Washing walls, window sills, curtains, pillows, dusting... you name it. If it could be cleaned, I have done it. All because my daughter is coming home for Thanksgiving.

Honestly, she could care less what the house looks like. It's me that's having the "issues" about it. I've been able to work off some extravagant nervous energy though.
 
See, now that is a great finace you have there Danni! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Lioness, I could make a huge rant on people who say Happy Holidays or Merry XMas. But, I've decided to spare everyone that particular rant for now. :tongue:

My mom and I are total clean freaks. It's also a big deal to have a really clean house because my one aunt, who normally hosts the christmas party, is rich and has a maid service come in and clean her house weekly. Not to mention that it's a beautiful, expensive, relatively new house. So, we're trying not to look completely white trash next to her. (not that we're white trash at all, but we certainly aren't living in the Ritz either.)
 
I feel ya on the dog issues. D gave Cthulhu some rib bones with fat and meat on them sunday. He has shit probably 25 times since then....each one a glistening wet puddle of horror. Im borrowing my friends carpet washer yet again today.
 
It was something like that a few years ago. Too many land mines by that time.

During better times, our house was nicknamed 'Fort Apache' because it was the place for family and friends came to escape the assorted hostiles of the world. I miss that.
