I have found that when i am on the phone I get so much accomplished.
After a nice visit with any of my siblings, mom or good friends I will find that my kitchen is magically clean and my floors are sparkling.
I cannot sit still so I find myself doing all the dreaded household tasks subconsciously while engaged in the most entertaining of conversations.
It is a great little system.
If I find that my laundry needs folding or those dishes are piling high, I will just make a phone call and by the time I say good-bye, the work is mysteriously done!
