Until this cleaning marathon, I was relegated to one end of the sofa.<br /><br />Janet, I'd be glad to come just to meet you, but if it's cleaning you need, I'll send my daughter instead. She cracks a mean feather duster. Do take the "before" pictures; it's fun to see the difference.<br /><br />Annie, don't tell anybody, but I didn't do the windows. And I may not do them when Spring actually arrives.<br /><br />Jackie, it was fun to meet her. She's worth cleaning up for (but now that I know how down-to-earth she is, I figure she can handle a few little tufts of dog hair next time).<br /><br />Carmon, if I remember correctly, you posted a photo of your nice clean desk last year. You were MY motivation, only it took me a long, long time to get the job done.<br /><br />Alison, I love the concept of cleaning and organizing much more than the actual doing of it. I love the concept of it so much that I have a whole stack of books about getting organized--now--and cleaning made easy. I read each new one, put it in the group with the others, and dust them all fairly regularly.<br /><br />Grumblemurray, I thought you were psychic until I read the part about projecting.;-) Let's just say I'm gonna try REALLY HARD this time. I think our problem is that there are just so many more interesting things to do.<br /><br />Thanks, everybody, for the good wishes for Butch. He's doing much better.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-39936341552698054352007-01-18T16:08:00.000-06:002007-01-18T16:08:00.000-06:00This cleanliness will not last.

I love to get organized and clean at the new year. Two more closets and the whole of the kitchen to go. Wait, and then my CDs must be put back in their cases and the cases alphabetized. Again. I get way too into this.Duly Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667265361131163774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-87015526223676407472007-01-18T07:38:00.000-06:002007-01-18T07:38:00.000-06:00Okay, desk envy here.

I'm gonna take photos of that room, maybe it'll motivate me to finally, finally get in there and toss some stuff! <br /><br />Poor Butchie, give him a get-well-soon kiss for me.

We must have similar tastes (or budgets). And I'm sorry about the word verification thing, but before I enabled that feature, I got spam that directed me to a couple of really creepy websites. <br /><br />Sunflower, I had way too many "hotspots," and I'm gonna work really hard on that. <br /><br />Regarding the "ax murderer," my daughter had already met this particular online friend, so I was quite comfortable about having her to my home. The only thing that worried me was disgusting her with my cluttered den.<br /><br />FHG Rebekah, Sunflower made me start wondering...you've never murdered anybody with an ax, have you? At least not anybody I know?<br /><br />Holly, he's still limping, but I see a definite improvement. Maybe it's the meds...or maybe it's the good wishes.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-24709752706948395802007-01-17T12:33:00.000-06:002007-01-17T12:33:00.000-06:00Velvet, Hope Butch is better soon!

My kitchen sink looks really good! I am starting to get rid of a few paper "hotspots." Paperwork is my nemesis. I don't have the kids home anymore to blame a messy house on! LOL Bravo to you for cleaning up and keeping it clean!<br /><br />Glad you had a nice visit with FHG. Being a NYer, we tend to be paranoid about meeting "online" people. I belong to a decorative painting group and another member (who I had not yet met in person) and I decided to meet in the city to go to a museum exhibit together. My husband was convinced I was going to be killed by an ax murderer. But Beth was the sweetest, most grandmotherly person you would ever want to meet. I have since seen her many more times at the museum and at painting conventions. I have lived to tell the tale.<br /><br />Hope Butch feels better soon!Sunflower Optimismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797860099404871043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-15636614791385930862007-01-17T04:01:00.000-06:002007-01-17T04:01:00.000-06:00Poor Butch.

I just laughed at Cappy yesterday because when I told him to come on the love seat and rest his tired bones he leapt like a pup and dove right in. Well! See if I try to go the extra mile to comfort you again. <br /><br />You're not going to believe this but we have the same exact desk AND the same TV VCR combo sitting on our desk. That is too weird! The first picture looks more like how my desk currently looks. I would resolve to keep this desk in order but why set myself up for failure huh? This desk is cleaned once a year and that is simply because I'm ashamed of how bad it gets. Seeing the wood desk top blows my mind. <br /><br />Austin<br />(today's word verification is: kallnuk.
