dull women have immaculate homes

you mean i have to keep cleaning my house over and over again? that's boring. i'm bored now.

there are so many disadvantages to keeping a clean house, not the least of which is that a good housekeeper is far less likely to happen upon this sweet scene in her hall closet, or perhaps in a nice pile of musty laundry:
it hasn't happened yet, but i'd have to be crazy to give up the dream.

I'm so confused. What are those and did you really find them in the closet and was it really a surprise?

That is way more interesting than keeping a clean house. My house isn't clean but nothing that fun has happened yet. I'll keep not cleaning and see.

i was just being silly, but once when i was little we came home from a trip and found a litter of baby rabbits! it had more to do with having mistaken the gender of the bunnies than keeping house, tho.

The original Sherry Carpet wasn't exactly the most immaculate housekeeper, but I'd say she was more than above average in that department. She wasn't dull, either, which corroborates your statement. She always had great projects going, funny stories to tell, new recipes to cook and bake, time to listen, clean sheets when you visited, a great sense of humor about nearly everything...and a laundry room that looked like a cyclone had hit it most of the time! And, who the heck cares about the laundry room from this vantage point, right? I wish I'd been more like her. But you ARE like her in so many ways with the priorities you've set. I'm not sayin' anything more about laundry rooms, by the way. (Let those without sin cast the first rock.)

I'm with Kitti....my house is neither immaculate or interesting. At this point in time it is primarily a way station between other activities going on and is simply a place to put your head at night. I do remember the various litters of kittens and puppies that truly were born in laundry baskets and under beds in earlier times. Priceless memories.

Sherry Carpet said...

LOR, HELLO, you are at the top of my list RIGHT NOW because you were the last one to post!!! It was my favorite part of this day. Better than chasing Little all through Disneyland.

I just have one thing to say amidst all this fluffy bunny love: Seahorse's incisors shredding my jeans.

("It's only a rabbit...")

Krista,
Work training has been crazy busy this week, but I will let you know my schedule for next week when I find out. I need you guys to come swimming with me! :)

Love you, Jenica

I used to be dull but I'm not anymore.

I cannot ever seem to forget the phrase the "cleanliness is next to godliness", yet my house is still a disaster. I know you say it's clean whenever you come over, but that's cause I clean it before you come. Try surprising me one day! You'll be sorry. I just try to keep the dirty dishes piling up and dirty laundry piling up "in moderation"!! Isn't that what it's all about. And yes, where are our priorities? Chasing DUST bunnies, or chasing our babies around doing fun stuff. SEE how many wonderful ways I can rationalize getting out of my housework. James is such a great helper, thank goodness!!

My mother usually has a very immaculate home, but things have been different since I've been here:) I have been working on reupholstering this little couch for Elyza and every day I make a huge mess ranging from the kitchen to the living room and then into the dining room where I finally sew it all together. Then, at 2:20, as my Dad leaves to go pick up my Mom from work, I run like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to make everything look just as it did before she left. Looks like her immaculate housekeeping did not pass on to this daughter!
Oh, and wahoo for overflowing laundry rooms!
