After and Before


Wendell invited some friends over for lunch the other day so I had to clean up the counter so they'd have someplace to sit and eat.

Ha! That is my house. When company comes I am like a chicken without a head trying to clear away surface tops and hide the stuff.

However, I must say, after immersing myself in Mari Kondo's book, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, my house is looking cleaner and clearer. Not quite there all the time, but getting really close - sometimes. I really need to do a post on it. Wish I had taken before pictures.

Susan said...

When I start tidying up my house, the little grandkid would ask, "Who's coming to our house?" :-/ ...grrr

K and S said...

wow!

Les, it's more like the different rooms that stuff get put into and then shut the doors.

LOL, V. Me and Landon put away the stuff. I'm just glad Wendell even told me. It was kinda like, "Oh, BTW . . . "

Aunty, I'm getting better at discarding things, but I need to stop adding.

Hahahaha, Annie!

Izsmom, I'm a very untidy housekeeper, and impending guests are what forces me to straighten up . . . a bit.

Jenny, funny!

Erick, in other rooms.

Hahahaha, Susan.

Kat, sometimes it's even worse.

j: my whole unit looks like dat! My excuse is cuz I no moe closet space (studio) I open drawers and put crap on them so all my drawers are open w/ stuff piled high on them. My landlord who is a clean freak - so clean she doesn't have any furniture in the livingroom - would freak badly. As for Mari Kondo, I gave up that....to me she's too extreme and it's not realistic. No, I live by my own rules and most ppl do not live in model house showcase. That's not life and doomed to fail. I no need more guilt. I'm a slob loud and proud. -N
