Aloha friday #9

alohafriday

Welcome to Aloha Friday! If you want to play along visit An Island Life.

My previous poll asked what your least favorite chore was (cleaning bathrooms won hands down). So, this week I want to know:

What is your favorite around the house “chore”?

I think my favorite is vacuuming. It doesn’t take very long and it always makes a noticeable difference!

Hope you have a great weekend!

If I have to pick something, I would probably agree with you. There is also something calming about using the vacuum. Of course with mostly hardwood floors here I do not have a lot to vacuum.

Definitely vacuuming. Like you mentioned, it makes an immediate difference and I actually find it relaxing. (Maybe that's just because it drowns out all the rest of the noise around here)

I really don't have a favorite - but if I chose the least hated, I would say dusting.

favorite!?

i don't think i have a favorite. if i had a list and i got to pick just one that i'd like to tackle (while someone else takes care of all the rest), i'd probably pick vacuuming.

I like to organize things around the house and I like to think of new ways to do it better.

Sweeping - just like vacuuming but the broom is always right there and even if it isn't it is really lite to carry to where I need it. :)

I would probably also say vacuuming. I also don't mind dishes as much now that I have a dish washer. I also don't mind doing the laundry, but I hate folding it and putting it away.

Brittany said…
I would say folding clothes because I have an excuse to sit or stand in front of the tv for a few minutes!

OMG...I saw that you posted Buffy as a show you likes that is no longer on the air. I JUST had to visit your site.

Anyway...I HATE mopping...HATE IT! In fact I pretty much hate any kind of household chore!

Yes, I'd have to agree. Vacuuming is calming and once I can't see the cat hair and food drops I'm feeling much more zen! :-)

I don't particularly enjoy cleaning - if you ever stopped by you could tell that - but, I don't mind doing dishes.

Or, even cleaning out the fridge, it's like a 'new beginning' once it's done!

Have a good weekend!

Whitney said…
hmmm... you know I actually enjoy cleaning the bathroom. I've only got one and it gives me such pleasure to know that it's shiny!! i'm following you!!

Just saw your comment about the pb in the stocking--I would have LOVED being in your house at Christmas.

Someone gave me PB for my birthday for work last year! :)

I totally agree with the vacuuming. It makes a HUGE difference. That and simply "picking up" makes me feel like I have a whole new house!
April 24, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Jennifer said…
I think you chose the best of all choices, so I will say vacuuming as well.

VACUMMING ALSO is a GREAT cardio workout...just turn up the volume on a radio and GO!!!!`

Hmm, that is a tough one. I do like the way the carpet looks when it's freshly vacuumed, but I don't actually like vacuuming. LOL!

Hi! I'm just visiting from the Rambler's blog. Yours is cute. Thanks for letting me stop by!

And I enjoy vacuuming, too. It's so much fun with our awesome Dyson.

I have no favorites. I *hate* cleaning. Seriously. If I could afford a house cleaner / keeper, I SO WOULD! I only clean because people would be disgusted to come to my house if I didn't.

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
