This afternoon I decided that since we are having company over on Saturday that I should tackle some more visible places... like the dryer which has been a major catchall over the past couple months.
Unfortunately this is NOT the "before" picture... this is about 1/2 done.
This is the "laundry shelf"... also another famous catch-all that I hope to at least make a dent in today.
And goodness knows you can't clean without a very big, empty trash can!!
We'll see if I get finished and post "After" pictures!! :P
And the prize goes to anyone noticing that Daniel painted AROUND the stuff on the shelf!!!!!!!!!
Ok... so there really isn't a prize. And we DO have plans to finish painting - it's one of those "minor" projects that got put on the back burner until the "major" projects were finished.

The paint around the shelf just made me laugh...it was cute though. Dont feel bad, my laundry room and on top of my dryer is a catch all too. It gets cleaned only when Im in those cleaning moods!!
btw...I found a recipe for homemade dishwasher detergent if you are interested. Im going to post it on my blog later. I havent had a chance to try it but it wont be long since Im close to running out.
OH MY GOODNESS! Your DH!!! The paint is hilarious! I laugh because in my hallway there is a light and I painted probably 2 years ago and missed a spot! It's still there!!! LOL Love it!! LOL
Good luck w/your clean up/decluttering. I never know where to start. I need to work on my front closet.
Hugs,
Angie
I wish I was in a cleaning mode. I am still trying to get past recovery mode from the weekend. I have been dragging like a rock all week and barely getting the cooking and laundry done. I hope to be feeling better soon.
Hey, glad you're into the cleaning though. I love getting things done and I know you will too.

I am LOL'ing in complete empathy! :) I, too, am a "mood-cleaner." Sometimes, if I just cannot get into the right mood, I play music -- loudly. I try to pick whatever music boosted my energy in my 20's and 30's. Since I am now firmly in my 40's, I need that little mental jolt to get my body physically moving. ;)
Hey, guess what Miriam? I made myself clean the bathroom tonight after Paul went to bed even though I didn't feel like it. It was turning bad colors and smelling even worse. It is much better now after a good half hour of serious attention.
And, I hauled my old dishes to the thrift store today, and my unused medical supplies to a place that can use them (leftovers from my home IV). So, I may not be doing something real big, but it was a few little pieces. Here, let's have some cho. cake to celebrate! Hahaha!
OK clean freaks! Just to let you know I do clean once in a while; not that it looks or smells like it around here. I am truly embarrassed to let anyone in our house. I got up and cleaned the bathroom at 4am Mon. becauseI couldn't handle it anymore and I swept and mopped the kitchen after class at 10:30pm Mon. That is the extent of my cleaning since the middle of Aug. I will try to hit those spots one or two more times this semester.
Oh my, Rachel! I should have whipped down there and cleaned it for you sometime. Glad you got it done and hopefully are in a better psychological state!
Thanks for the inspiration! I totally need to do this! It's high up on the list, but somehow I keep avoiding it!
I'm tagging you in tomorrow night's post! Just wanted to give you a head's up!
So glad you enjoyed the pasta! The photo of my "soupy" tortellini definitely didn't show the real deal. I let it cook down a little more and the end result was perfect creaminess! It's a great and delicious sauce for any pasta!-Erin
