Motivation is key :)

I'm allergic to consistant cleaning.

Carrie, that's funny.

ckroboth, Tam did allude to me staying out there from now on :)

Darla, it was getting cleaned anyway.

Love, They will see exactly how I live, but they will not see the mess I made last week working on three different projects that needed to get cleaned up anyway. There's lots of work that has to be continually done. It's easy to put it off. Friends coming to town is a good incentive to get it done.

But I assure you, they will still see the real us. And the real us is a clean family :)

Brandy, I think a lot of it has to do with what I just said. It is not that you don't clean or keep things in order, but there are times that we delay. Friends coming to town is good incentive. Even better is consistency.

Thanks tam :)

ouch Love.

And only b/c I totally do that. No one is allowed in my house for the first time if it's not clean. And it's rarely CLEAN clean.

It's all about first impressions I think. That and you don't want people to think you don't value them enough to make things nice and presentable for them.

(long long pause)

Wow, I just realized something in what I wrote. Why don't I value myself enough to keep things as nice as I would for company?

DANG IT.

I'm gonna stop coming here. And talking to Love. It makes me think too much. Okay, maybe not b/c I totally love both of you. ;-)

I'm so jealous.
1. B/c you get to meet bloggers. Darla no less!!!! :D
2. I did a MAJOR cleanup of the garage this weekend too and when I was done I thought "DANG! I soo should have gotten a before picture!"

And yes I said I cleaned out the garage. Jake doesn't do it right. His idea of a clean garage is to clear a path. :shock:

Again...I am so the guy. :roll:

I NEVER cease to be baffled by this....????

Why is it that we seem to care more that other people might think of us if they see we live in a 'pig-sty' than we do about actually LIVING in one????

What does the REALLY say about our own life and sense of who we are?

I am NOT picking on you here Brent - i don't know of ANYONE who does not do like you have. I just find it quite strange when you look at it from the 'Oh i cant let people see how i NORMALLY live SO i'll do what i can't be bothered doing usually" kind of thinking we all seem to have ( well... not Tam of course - she lives unashamedly in a pristine environment despite the male tendency to 'offer clean-up possibilities'!)

If you are confortable with your family knowing how 'organised' you are then why change it and put up a 'false' picture for guests? Why do we 'all' do it?

Quick pull your car into the garage... Claim it as your domain... ;)

Well you do already have clothes, fridge, weights, and washer/dryer... Ad a futon, hot plate or microwave, you got your self an escape for you an Kota.

OH! Is that what you're supposed to do when friends come to town? No wonder no one ever comes to visit me!

Just kidding. Good job, I'm sure you feel relieved getting that chore done.

I actually did CJ :)

By the way, if you or anyone else no how to help me format my posts, that would be great. Ever since I have been self hosted, it freaks out when I put pics in. I'm using Wordpress.
