In SE Iowa we do say I'm going to pick up the living room (clean the living room) or whatever room you are cleaning.
My mom and I have a friendly argument about next weekend. Today is Wed. If I say it I mean 2 days from now. If she says it she means a week from 2 days from now.
I say move the date up meaning change Sept 27 to Sept 29. She would say move the date back.
Do you go up to the town north of you or do you go down to it? My mom says down and I say up. Burlington is 30 miles slightly northeast of us. She says go down to Burlington I say go up to Burlington.
