you must be confusing me with the maid we don't have.


dear future mr. chelsea,

i hope you like to clean. because i loathe it.

i'd rather sleep on top of my clothes than put them all away before i go to bed. and dishes stay in the kitchen sink longer than i'd like to admit {no really its embarrassing} and when i finally motivate myself to do the dishes, they then stay in the dishwasher and i pull from it when needed. {june cleaver would be so proud}

i know both our jobs will be us doing what we love, therefore we'll be broke. and i don't mind that. but we won't be able to hire a maid. which leads me back to the main point... i hope you like to clean. {or at the least i hope you have magical powers that make me want to clean. and as long as we're talking magical powers, i'd like to be able to fly too...}

so we got a deal? i'll bake and you clean?
okay cool.

signed,

  1. hahahah, awesome! I am the same way with the dishes!!! I strongly dislike them and I don't have a dishwasher so they tend to sit for for longer than normal... hahah ;)

  3. It's a good job I found Daniel first, or you might have nabbed him for this very purpose! Disturb him when he's wearing Marigolds and regret it!

    Maybe you'll both be so loved up, and so busy dancing, that you won't even notice the mess! :-)

  4. Great post Chelsea, although my boyfriend is the cleaner in our house and I leave in fear of "messing it up" to much. He's a neat freak.

  9. I second that completely! Too bad Husband came from a true southern family expecting me to cook, clean and generally wait on him hand and foot. Boy was he in for a surprise! :)

  11. no joke. i lived with 3 boys before and they were disgusting! if you can find a man who's willing to do all the cleaning definitely marry him! (and bake in nothing but an apron...it will motivate him to do the laundry as well)

  12. Hhahaha....I love cleaning. My brothers hate it. haha. Luckily for me, Brenton loves doing the dishes. Maybe because he lives with 6 sisters..lol
    Have a great day my dear.






    LOVE!

  14. Haha, great post! I hate cleaning too, but luckily my guy is a little ocd about everything being organized :) He motivates me to do the same! Still, I would much rather bake...

  15. hahhahha! i love this! you are too funny! and about the clothes, you should just SEE my bedroom floor. i like to have allllllllllllllllll of my clothes sprawled out across the floor. it's crazy cause i know where everything is. "oooh! i can see the bottom of my tank top i'm wanting to wear today," and "THERE! that's my skirt!"

    i hate cleaning too. best of luck with man hunting! ;)

  16. I dont completely hate cleaning, but if I could find a man who would at least do all the dishes, I would be happy. They are the worst. Cause I will never be able to hire a maid either.

  17. HaHa - love it. I'm sort of the same way. I don't mind organizing and sorting things... but dusting, scrubbing and real deep cleaning just isn't my thing. I'm going to be in trouble one day when I need to clean a full home. HaHa.

  18. i like to clean...and that is what i do for work...clean houses. i refer to myself as a dust assassin to make it more exciting, but it is less than glorious. i can sympathize with future mr. chelsea. and you're too cute. really. :)

  24. This is really really really cute.

    I sure my hope my husband loves cleaning, because I don't.

  25. HAHAH this is really adorable!
    hmmm. i personally dont mind cleaning if im in the mood. it gives me time to think and dream and organize my life without just sitting there. i feel very productive, and i honestly cant live in a really messy enviroment.
    thats not to say there are times when i HATE cleaning...

    ;D love the picture!

  26. aw, Chelsea, you always make me smile! this basically sums up my life too: "i know both our jobs will be us doing what we love, therefore we'll be broke" yup yup!

  27. HA! I love this, especially because in my marriage, I am the cleaner and my husband does all of the cooking!

    ReplyDelete
  28. oh i hate putting dishes away too! i could wash for hours, but putting them away...no thank you! here's hoping the future mr. chelsea will love cleaning!

  29. Your blog is so cute! Love it.

    I hate cleaning too. No fun!

  30. oh my goodness, this is so me.
    unfortunately rather than being mr. clean my current squeeze seems to think that he can train me up to be a tidier person, i keep telling him i'm missing the 'clean gene' and it will never happen.
    he lives on in hope!

  31. Hehe what a cute post! I'm sort of the opposite of you...I panic when things are just so, neat and tidy. Totally OCD of me, I suppose :)
