Early spring cleaning

i have to clean my house .
i haven't even started.
our house is never too out of control.
clutter is picked up.
Brian hates clutter.
I once asked him what would make him feel loved
when we walked in the door after a day of work?
dinner ready?
make-up on?
time to himself to decompresss?
etc.
He picked a straightened up house.
that's it!

But ... i need to CLEAN
not straighten
because we are having a dinner here for Brian's mens group.
they do a valentine's dinner for the wives.
the people coming don't care if the house is spotless
but sometimes you just feel like putting your best foot forward
and the house sort of needs a good cleaning.

i dont mind cleaning once i start,
but like everything in my life.
it is the starting that is the hard part.
i am the queen of procrastination.
i need to pressure of a deadline.
So i have one .
And a good excuse to give my house a good cleaning in the process.
