i have long feared the person i will become. i can see it happening. here is the evidence: i keep a yoga mat in my car and i use it. i get regular pedicures and i love it. i vacation in nantucket (thanks emily and george). i like fondue and pretty martinis. i play on friends boats, and not just the kayak boats with manual labor, i means the ones you have someone else drive and make waves so that the little kayakers feel lame and seasick. i have more fancy dresses than i have jeans. and now i have taken one large step closer to the person i want to be yet hate to be but am so excited to be.
yes, i have hired a cleaning lady.
i felt a little guilty. even more so when trying to coordinate a time over the phone she asked me 'when do you work'? and i said 'um, i dont work' and i can feel her eyes rolling over the phone. i became even more guilty when i left the poor lady sweating up a storm after spending over an hour in my bathroom so i could spend the day at the beach. yes, i left my cleaning lady so i could get a tan (dont worry, spf 55, formulated for a babys bum, used on my face). i have become that person. and i love it.
and she liked it too. and quote 'i love cleaning a dirty house. id swear some people must clean their houses before i get there (looking at you, bubbie). but you obviously didnt.' and she left me a note when i got back from eavesdropping on skanky teenagers at a beach while pretending to 'read' my book: 'i enjoyed every minute of cleaning.'
im glad i can do that for you, judy. you and me both.

Um, I just hired a cleaning lady -- which of course motivated me to finally get off my ass and clean my apartment so it doesn't look like a hole when she gets here. What is wrong with me???
