Uhm . . . Havilah . . . PLEASE tell me those were "after" pictures, and not what you consider messy.
Because, Uhm . . . remember that "no cleanies" comment.
Seriously. I didn't read all the posts. What is that? Please oh please don't tell me that's your mess.
I would be so happy if that were my mess.
I was just thinking about this thread because I was looking at some old pictures, and you know what REALLY disgusts me? For the first 10 years of our marriage we lived in a tiny, tiny, dumpy little duplex. It was so small you had to go outside to change your mind. I dreamed and dreamed of one day having a nice house with room for a family. And now we've got that. It's not a huge house, but it's nice and it should be roomy enough for our family. But it's not, because it's all cluttered and messy. That really makes me feel like a total ingrate. I should be happy and grateful enough for what I have to take care of it.
