Condo Clean -up Day

Tuesday, June 19, 2007
It’s been a busy week—I participated in a benefit with Gayco (in the most minor of ways—singing in the final number with a chorus of 20), had a few breakfast dates with friends and Andy and I had condo clean-up day.

We moved into our place in October, but with both of us soon departing for boats, we never completely settled into our place. Consequently, there are weird areas of storage with weird things in them---need plastic cutlery? Look in the picnic basket high above our refrigerator! Wondering where the toolbox is? Look under the leather ottoman in the dining room!

The day was a success—we got a lot done and also learned a bit about each other. As it turns out, Andy doesn’t like cherry cloth tablecloths on the dining room table or any items on the bathroom sink. I don’t like mannequins or life-sized stuffed dummies in our home, or cups with remnants of protein-powder shakes and oatmeal-encrusted bowls left next to the kitchen sink, unrinsed. But, we both love having balanced checking accounts and are giving away our extra computer monitors.

Any takers?
