I got such a kick out of this, especially since I just interviewed Professional Organizer, Regina Leeds for the NABBW.

1. It is time to clean out the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside.

2. If it walks out of your refrigerator, let it go!

3. The best mini-vac for an after meal clean up is the dog.

4. Keep it clean enough for healthy, dirty enough for happy.

5. Never make fried chicken in the nude.

6. Do not engage in unarmed combat with a dust bunny big enough to choke the vacuum cleaner .

7. You make the beds, you do the dishes, And six months later you have to start all over again.

8. If guys were suppose to hang clothes up, door knobs would be bigger.

9. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

10. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

11. Simplify... hire a maid.

12: My second favourite household chore is ironing. My first being Hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

13. I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on.

14. I am a marvellous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

15. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that the light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, "What? And spoil the mood?"

16. When writing your name in the dust on the table, omit the date.

17. If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that.....
this is where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes.....

LOL! LOL!

I wish I'd known about rule #5 before I, er, well, just wish I'd known about it...

7, 9, and 10 are mine!

Awesome, Dotsie. My motto too, "just clean enough"...

Amen sister! Every other week...

Once when I had been especially busy and hadn't dusted for days, I was going somewhere and my friend came to pick me up and brought some women I didn't know and I saw her run her hand over one of my book shelves and look at her now dusty finger (you know the type!) Feeling exceptionally frisky that afternoon, I gasped and grabbed my chest then moved quickly over to her and said. "Oh my God, did you kill any of them," and then knelt on the floor kind of hugging the shelf and looking sad. I said as I looked up into her face, "you see as an animal person, I can't hurt any living thing and you just killed all my pet dust mites." You should have seen the look on this womans face, and my girlfriend began to laugh hysterically, she knows I'm nuts, and then I too started to laugh. Red faced, so did the woman but she has never liked me much since. Hey my dust is my dust, if you don't like it stay away; but never come into my home and check my housekeeping.
Oh and no dust mites or other animals were injured telling this story!!

You sound like my kind of lady, Chatty! How fun...

Lord pity the place all us Boomer comedians meet at someday...Laughter will rock the house.
