T..."Shabby without the chic"...what a neat phrase. This week I plan to clean the house, thoroughly. I just finished work (school) for the year....today I went in to clean the classroom and I realized that I like the dusting and scrubbing, but am not good at organizing. So, that's where my house needs help. Maybe I'll invest in some labelled boxes and start there!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411789923271959623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-61225557126932214692008-05-13T12:46:00.000-07:002008-05-13T12:46:00.000-07:00Anyone else fold their clean laundry and then let ...Anyone else fold their clean laundry and then let it sit on the dresser for about a century - instead of taking the extra TWO MINUTES to move them to the drawer below?<BR/><BR/>I'll bring the artisian cheese and G&TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-66660118345151395412008-05-13T10:46:00.000-07:002008-05-13T10:46:00.000-07:00I love most things associated with "homemaking" --...I love most things associated with "homemaking" -- cooking, decorating, even running the household routine... IF, that is, there's enough time to do it. If there isn't, I become cranky and stressed. One of my favorite things to do is drink hot tea and do something productive while wtching Law & Order during Miranda's naptime. Trouble is, I'm usually tired, or overwhelmed by everything that needs doing, or needing to study, etc etc.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should give Flylady another chance.mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080869629149026665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-31407838337776381492008-05-12T21:09:00.000-07:002008-05-12T21:09:00.000-07:00I need to be invited to this party too. Everyone ...I need to be invited to this party too. Everyone always thinks I have a clean house, but that is because I am usually scrambling to clean it before they walk in the door. I am not a neat person by nature-- I can be clean, but there are still going to be piles everywhere, especially of clean clothes. I just can't get myself to actually put them away... this is a big problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-4724987589699592772008-05-12T17:16:00.000-07:002008-05-12T17:16:00.000-07:00I'll bring the wine and we can have a little party...I'll bring the wine and we can have a little party.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169732072381476940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-73541600686917695702008-05-12T17:03:00.000-07:002008-05-12T17:03:00.000-07:00But why do in the birds?

I'm thinking of a later scene, where I'd have the pleasure of donning my heavy hiking boots and crunching some cockroaches.<BR/><BR/>I too am flummoxed by housework. It is the ultimate in multi, multi, multi-variable equations. And those stink.

I attended Milligan College, which is part of the Stone-Campbell movement, for undergrad and am attending Emmanuel School of Religion for Seminary. But to the admin dismay, our professors influenced us enough that some (like myself) have gone the way of the Oxford Movement (Anglican-Orthodox) and some have become Roman Catholic and my friend Aaron just became Orthodox. <BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
