Hello and welcome back to Miss Cellaneous Life. As you know, it’s been a long winter for my family and me. Well, recently, spring has decided to come about. But, with spring comes spring cleaning. Oh well, it’s life.
Today, we kicked off spring cleaning with our garage. Before today, our garage was awful. It was cluttered, unorganized and sweep-needing. My family realized this, and had us help get head-way into cleaning it.
First, my parents backed their cars out into the street. Next, we moved out our bikes and scooters. We then looked through old junk lying around, filing through to see what to keep and what to throw away. The “throw away” included the soccer ball that I used to play with as a girl.
I decided to start sweeping. The broom I used was rather heavy and large, but I managed.
Soon, my mom and I go to Sonic to get us all drinks. When we return, mutt starts being you-know-what.
One minute, I'm sweeping. The next, I'm sitting down, sipping my drink. Then, Mutt takes a sip of it. Gross!
"Great," I groan, "Now I'm going to have to get a new straw."
About an hour or so later, we all went to Lowe's to look at some shelves to put our stuff on. There's nothing for Mutt or me to do at Lowe's, so we just had to sit there, bored. Occasionally, we bring out Mutt's iPod and play The Game of Life.
While our parents are on another aisle, Mutt says, "We better get something special for putting up with this."
I couldn't have agreed more. We spent, what, two and a half hours there? Finally, our parents agreed on the first thing they looked at.
When we get home, we put this massive thing together. My dad and brother argue about how level it is and how stable it will be. Eventually, we get it all done and it looks very nice. It's maximum weight capacity if 5500 lbs. We put all of our miscellaneous tools and footballs, etc on there.
As for the final result of our clean-up, I say we did a pretty good job. Granted, it wasn't exactly how I had planned to spend my Saturday, but it was cool. I got to enjoy some fresh air of the long-awaited spring I had.
So, if you ever complain about spring cleaning, think about this post and my post on chores. We have to do it so we can stay healthy and safe at home. Plus, it gives you a feeling of accomplishment. I feel like I did something big.
Until next time... tot zeins.
