Depending on where someone first lands in this blog, he/she might be totally impressed or totally horrified by my organizing skills. And then there's Hubby. He sees the good days and the bad days, the failed attempts and the overall progress. Thankfully, he's my biggest supporter and believer, but I still get an extra thrill when he … [Read more...]
Jealous of Other People’s Houses
I'm not talking about swimming pools or jetted tubs or even closets that are bigger than mine. I'm talking about finding things. Now, there are often times when I do know just where something is.
