The good news is I've kept my dining room, family room, and kitchen clean since I first posted September 15th. The bad news is, I haven't made much more progress. The terrifying news - Thanksgiving is at MY HOUSE this year. <dumbfounded stare> My MIL is the ultimate hostess - impeccable home, best cook ever, incredibly gracious. All family functions have always been at her house. My FIL passed away this summer and Mom just isn't up to having the holidays at her house, so she asked me (her only DD/DIL) to step in. Of course I said yes - not only is it the right thing to do, but my MIL is the most wonderful person I've ever known and I would do *anything* for her.

So Thanksgiving is at my house this year. <cringe>

I need to take some "before" photos and start making myself accountable on this thread. I've got less than four weeks before my home gets invaded by 35-40 relatives. And since our house used to belong to my DH's great aunt until she passed away and we bought it two years ago, many of the family members have not seen the improvements we made... so everybody is going to be alllllllll over the house, checking out every nook and cranny.

Oy.
