    I love picking up the house, first. Putting things where the go and seeing the result, even if there is dust around, is my favorite thing. Organized chaos, I think. Second, I really don't mind cleaning the kitchen. There is something to be said for a shiny, clean kitchen. Of course, the problem is that it gets dirty right away when you cook!
