Why Ru Paul’s Drag Race is Good for our Home

March 30, 2016 by Leslie Anderson

Every March, our house becomes nearly spotless. If you think this is the work of spring cleaning, you’re wrong.

March brings us the bounty that is RuPaul’s Drag Race and, frankly, I’m addicted. Being addicted, however, does nothing to combat my inability to sit still and watch TV. Thus, every Tuesday and Wednesday, I clean while catching up with both the main show and Untucked. Suddenly the kitchen is clean, the laundry is washed and put away, and the floors are vacuumed. It’s like magic.

Thanks, Ru!

The Good Morning Rats
Historically, I had the tendency to fall asleep after Leslie, and wake up before her. Sometimes, I wanted to start our day early—and for college Leslie, early was any time before noon. So, instead of nagging her awake, I would pick up our pet rats, put them in bed with her, and sing a song while our rodent friends worked their way under the covers, clinging to Leslie’s body for warmth:

This past month, Leslie completed 100% of her tasks for three weeks in a row, and we ran out of pins to put tasks on the board.
