What, reminding you that once again it isn't all about you? I sort of feel it's the least I can do occasionally, othrwise you might think I was ignoring you completely. :)

oh just shut up you stupid woman.

:lol: priceless

urk?

It doesn't stop at houses with me.... :lol:

as you were....

actually my participation in this thread made me acutely aware of my house today, and I realized it isn't as bad as i think it is. It is bad, no doubt, but we can live like this because we know roughly where everything is (except Thor's cleats, but that's Thor for you.... he likes to put things in strange places) and there is a pathway to most places and seats free where we actually sit down.

When i get my dream house, though (1) it will have shitloads of storage and (2) it will not only have a mudroom, but also a swim kit room, a soccer room and a school stuff room. Enter the correct door depending on what activity you just came from. if more than one, move from wettest to driest.

hear, hear! monster, in all my dream houses (and they are legion) the utility spaces are emphasized way more than the public spaces.

Seems to me like the houses are all built with expansive, fancy "entertaining" spaces--and the spaces in which you actually live and work, like the laundry room, are crammed into a closet with crappy amenities.

what was called the dining room when we moved in is now 30% office and 70% swim shit.

(towels and suit racks for 5 people take up a fuckload of room....)

Moving a double or treble scad of boxes of household goods out of the catchall room. Busy busy busy... at least there will be room in the room. Rental storage places do make fine attics, don't they? And just as hot in the summer too.

and if in a year you haven't access those boxes . . . you can donate them away.

Will be working on my kitchen this weekend. Must remove everything from cabinets etc. for cleaning.

I have mice.

:(

But, I haven't decluttered the kitchen in a long time. So --put everything in boxes, then take out only the stuff I need. At the end of the month, I keep only the stuff I take out. Simple!

One of my jobs this weekend: find out how the mice are getting into the house. I've been relocating two or three every week. Or I've been relocating the same one over and over. They like the ride.

Me too, except I'm not sure if it's mice or something bigger that's in the basement.

Make sure you wear protection.

Errr... I think he's going to kill it, not date it

Why not both?
