When I first moved out on my own, I used to love keeping the house clean, especially dusting -- hard to believe because now I can write my name in the dust. I have to force myself to dust and it only happens once or twice a year; not once or twice a week.<BR/>I'll have to get in touch with my Inner Ho also and cook some spuds for the Potato Ho-Down Wednesday. :)Gloria Chadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583688711355507100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-3291935215863887332009-01-11T13:13:00.000-08:002009-01-11T13:13:00.000-08:00You liked ironing!!!???!?!
