Tame the Horde

If my plans go well, I will be lounging with a rock star tomorrow afternoon. To that end, I cleaned, okay, really I neatened my office. It is still a big freaking mess.

Now it says less hording and more messy. I suppose.

Oh, and someone else can sit comfortably with me in the office, which is full of win.

Yes, I should’ve done this a while ago.

My desk though, is a portrait in hording. Le sigh. All I can say is that it could be worse, and we are working on making it better.

I didn’t warn my loungee about how messy we are. I feel insecure about it. (If he reads this post he’ll know, but if not it would be just between you and me.)

The thing about cleaning is that it feels good when I’m done. But when I’m doing it I am a master (mistress?) of finding many other things I’d rather do. Like futz around on the interwebs, watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eat girl scout cookies, play games on my phone, talk to my husband, ad infinitum.

I think at this point we need a special episode of Horders. My husband is very generous, he would love to give stuff away if someone would use it. I too want stuff to be used well. So they bring in people who think our stuff is cool and want to use it and we’ll give it to them! It will be awesome!

However, since we’ve cleaned the bathroom recently and been working on the kitchen (we cleaned the fridge!), I don’t think we’d make the Horders cut. And for that I am grateful. And feel a bit superior.
