We are driving to BC for some Easter fun with my parents and a chunk of Boyfriend's MAMMOTH-sized family.
But before leaving, there's the ORDEAL of Boyfriend's Getting Ready To Leave process. This entails washing every single piece of clothing he owns – even though we're going for only four days. It requires purging the fridge – even though there have been Tupperware containers with Biochemistry PhD projects brewing in there for MONTHS.
It also means cleaning the truck, kitchen, living room and bedroom from top to bottom just in case we die in a car crash and our loved ones judge us posthumously.
I am a big-picture cleaner. I feel that if I've put in the effort with a couple half-assed swipes to the dash with some ArmourAll or a quick smear of a cloth on a counter, that oughta do it. This makes it all kinds of No Fun to share cleaning duty with someone who is...um...what's a nicer word than COMPLETELYEFFINGANAL?
Anyhoo. Cleaning ANYTHING with Boyfriend usually means I do a shamelessly shoddy job, he chases after me re-cleaning and I get huffy and indignant.
WHAT BETTER WAY TO PREPARE FOR EIGHT HOURS IN A CAR TOGETHER?

This is comming from someone who uses a Q-Tip to clean some parts of the bathroom... But there's no better way to bond than a road trip. Especially a road trip taking you to a bottle of Mission Hill Merlot...
