Why You Shouldn't Clean While Naked

Last night I decided I'd had enough and went upstairs to take a shower.

I'd started to get undressed while waiting for the water to heat up but it was taking forever. As I stood there in my holey t-shirt, I realized that the banister in the hall was absolutely filthy, so I rummaged around under my sink looking for some sort of cleaning implement. I found a baggie with a few ancient baby wipes in them. Perfect. No mess, and baby wipes work great on those grubby little finger prints that my children delight in leaving all. over. the. house.

I was scrubbing away, taking great satisfaction in seeing the white paint again, smirking in an "I'll show you, dirt" kind of way when I stood up.

That's when I realized my naked, white ass had been level with the landing window.

The curtainless landing window.

The curtainless landing window that is about 6 feet away from our neighbor's bathroom window.


I'm never leaving my house again.

LMAO! OH MY!

Yea, I'm guilty of the same types of offenses...until I realized my *neighbor-whom-I-detest* was CONSTANTLY watching in my house, so I put up think blankets behind the curtains over the windows on that side of the house....sucks to have to do that, but I'm not a fan of being watched by creepy old folks.

Okay that has to be the funniest thing I've read or heard of in days. You made me laugh so hard I think I snorted. Good thing I'm home alone!

I love the way you clean! Me, too! That was hysterical... Last night, and I post this only because I'm basically anonymous, my husband "cleaned" the tub by swishing his body around in an epsom salt bath. I high-fived him over it. Unfortunately, he was unable to get the sides of the tub "scrubbed."
