Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!This is such a cute video, I just had to share.
(Note: there is no animal cruelty going on here.)
Do you know how it feels to do things and never get ahead of the game? This is how I feel right now. I’m trying to do the impossible. Maybe I should just give up.
I recently had the chance to try out the new Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner, and I just love, love, love it. I can take one can into any room of my house and use it on every surface in there. You can use it on wood, glass, mirrors, granite, electronics, wood laminate, stainless steel, plastics, marble, chrome, and many more. I love it so much I want to share it with you, and here’s how.
Just take this quick quiz, and post your results in my comments. I will randomly draw one name on June 2nd, notify you by email, and send you a free can of Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner.
The Dirt on Your Cleaning Style
Unexpected guests ring your doorbell, you…
- Think, “No problem, my house is clean…it always is.”
- Quickly toss a few scattered clothes into a basket on your way to the door.
- See your spouse/significant other/roommate quickly putting things away and say “How can I help you?”
- Think to yourself, “This place is such a mess. I’ll pretend I’m not home.”
When you get home from work, you…
- Pull out your bathroom cleaning supplies because today is “bathroom cleaning day.”
- Pick up your clutter as you move about the house.
- See your spouse/significant other/roommate cleaning so you grab a dust rag to help.
- Decide to leave the cleaning for the weekend.
How often do you clean?
- Often – I designate different rooms to clean during the week.
- Daily – I pickup throughout the day.
- Whenever my spouse/significant other/roommate tells me to clean.
- At least often as possible.
Do you enlist the help of your spouse/significant other/roommate when you clean?
- No, I do it myself so the cleaning gets done the way I like it.
- Sometimes, when I need help.
- No, my mate is always the first to start cleaning. I jump in afterwards.
- I usually let him or her do the cleaning.
What kind of cleaner are you? If you answered:
- Mostly 1s – You’re a routine cleaner. You have a set system and schedule when it comes to cleaning.
- Mostly 2s – You’re an on-the-go cleaner. You pick up clutter daily as you move from room to room.
- Mostly 3s – You’re a follow-the-leader cleaner. You clean however and whenever directed by your spouse/significant other/roommate.
- Mostly 4s – You’re an avoider cleaner. You clean only when necessary, such as before guests arrive.

Well we made it out to PastaStock on Saturday night finally. I went most of the day not knowing if we were going to make it, but Michael decided at the last minute that he wanted to go, so we packed up the car and headed out.
As we were setting up our tent, the bugs were trying to eat us alive, but nothing a little Off Wipe couldn’t cure. We got all set up, grabbed something to drink, including our chairs, and joined the rest of the Las Vegas burners to watch the fire spinners, and hula hoopers. There was such great talent there, and as usual Indigo stole the show with her incredible fire poi talent.
The best part of the night was the burn, and it was just beautiful. Much more beautiful than my point and shoot could ever capture in such a dark setting. The best of the shots are here on my Flickr set, including more pictures of the Hoover Dam Freeway Bypass Project. It’s coming right along and should be completed fairly soon.
