My project for this week.

Sorry this wasn't posted yesterday. I took the pictures yesterday but didn't get a chance to upload them. I have been coming up with a plan of attack but haven't actually started cleaning yet... but I won't let you down! I'll post my success by the end of the week.

I'm quite embarassed to share these pictures with you. It looks much worse than I thought. I've always ignored this area of the house and considered it David's area -- after all, hes the computer guy. But, we both use it, and most of the crap under the desk is mine. And, David isn't a "file" guy, I am a "file" girl. So, I think its only fair to set up the file system and help him file the bills and paperwork after he takes care of his end.

So you see, there is more to this project than just cleaning up. There are file systems to be created, papers to be filed, statues to sell on ebay, and junk to find homes for (or throw away).

Check back on Sunday (or it may be Monday before I post the finished picture -- Sunday looks like its going to be a busy day!).

To do list

As you know, I've been working on keeping my house a little bit cleaner. I still have a lot of improving to do!

Well, I am going to give myself a week to accomplish some tasks that I've been putting off. I have lots of excuses. My most used excuse is that this apartment is temporary, we will buy a house "soon" either in Greenville (God willing!) or around Atlanta. So, I haven't allowed myself to get settled in my temporary housing. What that means is I have a lot of stuff out and about that doesn't have a real home.

So, on Monday's I'm going to take a photo of a spot in my house I want to work on, I'll give myself the week and then post another picture to show you how I did. Hopefully I'll stick to this better than I did my Fitness Friday's. Although, my sister did give me a weight loss idea the other day... I may tell you all about it later, I'm still thinking it through right now.

Anyway, some of the areas I need to tackle are our computer station area, the hutch/dresser/sideboard thingey in our eating area, our bedroom (the junk catch-all) and, I may actually finish the girls room. I LOVE their room, but never finished their walls -- I wanted to paint on their walls and just can't bring myself to do something so permanent to something so temporary.

Most of this stuff will need to be done regardless of where we live. I need to de-junk the computer area anyway, no sense in moving my paystubs from my job 8 years ago again, right?

Ok, so this Monday, be prepared for a SCARY picture of some area in my house.
