Sometimes it's good to just have a couple of days to yourself to clear your head, clean your clothes and clean up your house.

Well, as I've heard more than once in a song: Two out of three ain't bad.

I enjoy my quiet weekend time. I read, watch some TV and do the necessary loads of laundry so I don't end up naked in the workplace.

But -- and I'll be the first to admit this -- my house leaves a lot to be desired. When I first moved in here, I was vigilant about cleaning floors, scrubbing bathtubs and dusting the furniture. Nearly four years later, it's lost its luster.

I suppose cleaning, to me is like exercise to, well, me: It's something I'm content knowing that other people do.

However, I think I need to change my thinking. First, I'll resume the vigilant cleaning. Second, I might try some exercising.

Oh, who am I kidding? Exercising is for other people.
