I suck at follow-through

Hey, It’s another year. That means I’m now in my late 30s. ^&$%^$ you universe! Another year older. More gray hair, more back problems, more lines in my face…ugh

Oh yeah, follow through…

Remember last year when I started the Clean365 project and promised to become a real grown up and try to keep my house clean by cleaning one thing every day for the next year? Then remember when I went to the Armpit of the US Arkansas to spend time with my dying grandmother and the project went out the window? The trip really just expedited the inevitable. I would have given up and quit the Clean365 project in February or March anyways ’cause I just suck at resolutions and follow through.

I’m pretty worthless folks. Don’t be fooled by how I look. I’m a mess.

Anyways. I’m sitting here thinking about how much I suck (thanks Chandelle for your recent post on Chicken Tender to remind me how worthless I am) like I do when there’s so much shit to get done and it’s just so effing overwhelming, and whining to myself (and now you) about this neglected blog, my other neglected blog, the piles of shit I have to sell on ebay, and the 11 months of accumulated dust in my basement, and I’ve decided to give the Clean365 another go.

It may seem silly to post my cleaning projects online but I need the support [read: validation] and I’m sure a few of you can use the encouragement, too. If you’re like me and live an *organic lifestyle, chores don’t always take priority over the fun stuff, like running, bike riding, and napping.

So here’s round two of Clean365 (now clean 355) the 2012 edition. The rules are the same: I clean one thing or take on one small project a day but this time dishes count. Some days that’s the best I can.

What about y’all? Did you accomplish your NYRs?
