Tired of cleaning?
Feel like you’re going to lose your mind if you pick up ONE MORE abandoned sock?
Well, have no fear!
Hire a dude to clean and organize for you.
No, seriously.
Look:
I mean, I know it says that it’s just to help you move. But I’m sure the guy would tidy up if you asked.
For a while I played around with calling the number and having a guy come over. Then I figured I’d call him John, after John Krasinski, but then I realized that he’d probably have his own name.
But then suppose I was talking to Tom on Skype and he happened to see John walk past with his tools. He’d lose his cool for sure, probably rip off his shirt and challenge John to a duel.
Oh wait. We’re in the year 2010 not 1610. So maybe no duel but Tom would definitely swear and threaten divorce if I didn’t get John out of his house and away from his tools.
“He’s just helping me clean and organize,” I’d insist. I would leave out the part about giving me something nice to look at. Not because John would have abs, but because he’d just be lean and basic looking. Men who are really buff actually make me nervous. I prefer the lanky ones who can make me laugh.
In the end, I knew it just wouldn’t work out. I couldn’t hire John.
It’s too bad. I had some chocolate and peanut butter cookies I could have made as a payment.
Ahh well. More cookies for me.

I'm working on a way to get my hubs to agree to this. I'll let you know if I find anything that works.
What's the number??? :)
Sweet! I've got to find me one of those.
yeah, I don't think Tom would have been to happy with that...unless you told him the guy was gay????
I could never hire John, either - my husband is in construction and would not only be sent into a jealous rage about John, he's be insulted I even needed a John. Sigh.
haha - no John for me either - my DH would have him out of the house faster than you could say "But honey he's HELPING"
I don't have a husband who'd be jealous by this.... hmmm
haha! this is funny!! I saw a truck the other day that said "husband for hire" -- same concept...I think, except this is operation is where they come and do the little things around the house that needs to be done, normally by the husband. =)
Hmmmm ... I like this idea. I hate cleaning!
It seems that someone is missing a hubby ;)
As long as he's naked, he can do whatever he needs to.
yes yes!! more cookies = always better!!!
I am glad you got that all worked out for yourself!!
It looks like that particular guy could be very helpful though. He is probably a very good cleaner/organizer.
YOu could act like he was an intruder and you have no idea how he got in???
So I guess since you cant have him, I can!! =) ooooo, baby! send him over!
*sigh* I have always wanted a pool boy but we don't have a pool so that is going to be really hard to explain to Jeff.
You can pay me in peanut butter. I can make you laugh too. When can I start (I'll bring my own tools so Tom wouldn't get jealous)?
Very, very, very nice. And handy to boot!
I want a John!! seriously...my Pete tries really hard, but heck, John looks like he will try just a bit harder...just sayin.....
Wow, that's a great idea for a business.
LOL... only if we could train our husbands to clean and do those things. Have you tried the new peanut butter chocolate moon pies? They have a hard chocolate cookie outside and smooth sweet peanut butter on the inside. They are like a large reese's peanut butter cups! So Delish!!
In an ironic twist I just had a similar convo with a coworker! She was telling me her kids were talking to her mom one day when they made a mess and her mom corrected them, saying they had to learn to be clean for when they get their own home and one of the girls responded that she'd just get a maid. Her grandmother said oh no, whenever you have a maid, the husband goes off with the maid. The young girl's response? Well, I'll get a male maid.
heck, i am so desperate for someone else to help me clean, i would be happy with a warty old babushka at this point! :)
Hey, is he for hire anywhere?? Nice.
Amber, just turn off the computer when John is there "organizing" with his tools. Tom will never know. Okay, I am a bad influence.
Wait? Whats the number again?
Seems like a perfect cleaning solution to me!!
Hey! I could use one of those...
I'll bet you a cookie he'd bring his own tool! Those College Hunks could probably make a few bucks with a calendar, too.
Ha! Awesome. And I just finished doing some laundry too, how appropriate. Love the blog. I'm a new follower.

He's looking awfully good! Maybe you could hire him when Tom isn't available on Skype... A woman needs help sometimes!
If you are giving away peanut butter cookies, I will be a woman for hire. Wait- that came out wrong.
If you don't need him, send him my way. ;P
He actually looks like Tom Brady...
I wish I could hire him! Unfortunately he would probably want to be paid...
"but then I realized that he’d probably have his own name."
This cracked me up. And I'm down for more cookies!
Awww... I would have LOVED to seen him with his "tools" cleaning and organizing your house! LOL
If you could just send me his number, that would be greeeeeeeeeeeeat ;)
Mmm...John Krasinski...
I'd let him organize MY closet.
Hmmmm.... my house needs cleaning... I wonder if I could rent Meagan Fox?
Too bad I suck at baking cookies.
