Enough of my internal pep talk and on to something lighter. It's been a month since the last Friday Five and it's all about cleaning, the constant chore. So here we go...

1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?
I know they're my toilets, but really, I'm not a fan of cleaning them. I usually get them done and over with first. Ugh!

2. Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?
Vacuuming is the best part of cleaning, no doubt. My vacuum cleaner is a mean, low-riding, four-wheel machine with headlight and powerful motor that is built to suck on all types of indoor terrain.

3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?
I really should have a weekly routine. It would probably save me time. But I try to be a guy and avoid the cleaning for as long as possible. I can keep up that front for about two weeks before the dust, dirt and clutter get to me.

4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?
My only rule is to work from the top down. Dust and then vacuum.

5. What was the last thing you cleaned?
My backpack. There was a nasty Gatorade spill and I tried my best to clean it, but it still smells like orange.
