oh happy day!

i realize it has almost been a month since i explained my need to do some serious cleaning around my house, and the fear that the mood would leave me before the work was done, remember? don't jump to any conclusions...i am not done. but, one area is officially clean and i am having a personal celebration today and must share!

i am very embarrassed to be posting these before and after pictures (especially because my mother can now see them), but my only disclaimer was that it was christmas and my closet becomes the place to hide and throw everything! so, my closet has been cleaned out, many items thrown away and many in the garage waiting for d.i. next saturday (last picture at the bottom). anyone wanting a tri-pod, old printer, anything you can see- it's yours if it is picked up before feb.2nd. :) jon's closet is dusted, (his usually always looks like the second to last picture), the drawers and cabinets in the bathroom cleaned out and the bedroom cleaned out and dusted top to bottom. whew!

now... my upstairs closet, my storage room and my kitchen are next. beware, the before pictures will look really bad too. i never thought of myself as a pig, but holy cow, i have lost control! how embarrassing!!!

You are an inspiration!! Mine is a disaster. The other day I moved a pair of black sweat pants on a shelf and then picked them up and they were covered with dust!! I will have to get cleaning this week!!

susan -- i am very happy to see someone remember and accomplish one of their goals! but, really, i have to say....your "before" pictures look closer to my fantasy "after" pictures!! i guess you're just closer to perfect than us :)
