Would you rather...

Cook or Clean?

For me, this one is not hard to decide on at. all. I would rather cook than clean any day. The only catch is that in order for me to enjoy cooking, my kitchen has to be in order before I can start cooking. But in terms of what makes me happiest, it's cooking for sure. I love cooking and baking all sorts of things... I've dropped incredibly subtle hints to Tony about enrolling me in a culinary class at Johnson & Wales (a well known culinary school) here in Charlotte the next time he needs a gift idea. Anybody in Charlotte reading this who wants to join me, just let me know. :) I'm game.

Cleaning on the other hand... maybe my lack of perfectionism makes me a better cook than cleaner. A few crumbs on the floor? A little dust on the tv? Don't worry about it!! I'd much rather inhale wonderful aromas than cleaning solution vapors. :) But Mom and B - you would be proud -- I've made my bed EVERY day for the past week. I'm working on forming a new habit.



What about you?

If cleaning means having mice running around doing the job, I think I would do it myself. I don't like mice.

I like to cook way better, but I wish I could cook anything I wanted to. Scratch that, eat anything I wanted to cook!!! I try a new recipe or two every week. It is so much fun.

I do like organizing - cleaning when I it becomes spring and I am getting rid of things.

I would prefer a cook and a housekeeper so that I could just sit and hold Kaiya and Kaleb all day....Nannie

flylady@yahoo.com - or she is on facebook too...check it out - she has some great helpful hints. I'm not the greatest at housekeeping either - but then I also don't like to cook. My answer was to sell the house and buy a fifth-wheel - it's so easy to keep clean - and I can do a deep clean in about 1 1/2 hours flat! Living in a fifthwheel has it's downside too...but I can't think what they are right now :)
