so i started on flylady yesterday. which, of course, means i shined my sink. sadly, my sink is old crappy, painted-over porcelain covered with scratches and stains. it will never be perfectly clean and shiny. but i know it's clean. and that's what counts. right? right.

so, what if there were a community for fannish-types who were interested in flylady, or doing the flylady thing or whatever. would anyone out there be interested? this is about home cleaning and general life organization,if you're wondering. the website is here. it's corny, cheezy, all that stuff. but it's also really effective. so, let's see who would be into that.

yeah, i have flylady's book too, but i haven't found the book as helpful as the system in general - website and reminders included (though the reminders get a bit out of hand). the gender stuff is rooted in the basic assumption that we're all a bunch of housewives trying to get our homes in order. she says she's including everyone, but she's really talking to women and a specific class of women at that. and makes comments about the 'dear husbdand' all the time. and then she has things like "god breezes" which are supposed to be, like, inspiring moments or something. she doesn't get specific with the god stuff, but it's there and it freaks me out a little.

but, yeah, i like the idea of a bunch of us doing this together. it was marginalia's idea. i think we'll have to give it a go.

oh, and thank you. i wish i could get paid for fandom pimping. then i could quit my day job! if i had one.
