Instead

No, you're right. I really do need to get that last room done. And I probably shouldn't do a survey and if I do a survey I shouldn't post it on my blog. People have no time for such frivolity. But ... I've been cleaning carpets for about 12 hours. I think my house is 1900 or 2400 square feet .. i don't know. I got the boys room, the baby's room, the hallway and the stairs (15 of them) and the front room all done ... so it's just the TV room with that giant diet cherry Pepsi stain.

Furniture is heavy, dangit. Y'know. And awkward. This is not girly work.

Good thing I bought myself some chocolate to reward myself for all this hard work. Sure as heck Mr. The Avatar Still Doesn't Work wouldn't remember to bring home chocolate for his hefty strong and beautiful not to mention witty wife!!!
