phew! the oven is, for the first time in around 5 or 6 years, clean. :) or much cleaner than it was, at least. I had never cleaned an oven before (i know, i know) and I finally got the urge to do it, so i bought oven cleaner, sprayed it in, and waited almost as long as I was supposed to. that stuff is amazing. and now, i have an actual mostly clean oven - both the actual oven, and the stovetop, as josh and i tagteamed that this morning. the kitchen, at least, will be mostly clean. i'm nost so sure about the mopping part of it, but it should be sparkling otherwise.. or as sparkling as it's getting. i really want to clean up the studio, but i know josh would appreciate the rest of the house being clean, as well, and becca is coming to visit tomorrow, so i want the first time she sees the house, for it to be on the clean side. josh and i have decided that we have way too much clutter, and i've decided that there's simply no way for us to get rid of it all - we just need a bigger place. :) too much stuff - but most of it is stuff we love. and becca's birthday is soon, so I think I'm going to give her her present (and hope she likes it) tomorrow when she comes - it's probably as close to her birthday as I will see her. :)
