I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Woot! GoJilligoJilligoJilli.

Congrats on the finishing. It will feel even greater once you've rested and then walk back in to that freshly organized space. I LOVE that feeling!

OMG, y'all, we're watching an episode of Holmes on Homes that could easily masquerade as an ep of Hoarders. It's messed up how much these people have piled in their house, to the point where it's blocking off air returns and making the windows retain moisture.

And that doesn't even count the fact that the house had been built with sub-par brick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Inspiring, Jilli! No more Doom?

Nope! Not Doom! I don't need a path through heaps of fabric anymore, and there aren't any boxes that will come crashing down if I pull on a random piece of ribbon. (I did that yesterday.)

I'm actually looking forward to getting organizing-type furniture next week and making the space even MORE usable.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Do it, Ginger.

Jilli, that's wonderful!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Barb--we were just watching the same thing! Scary. I am one of those people who is ALL ABOUT getting rid of stuff. The DH comes from a family of keepers. We balance each other out pretty well.

I'll admit, I'm a packrat, but I'm an organized packrat at least. I could not cope with what those people had. And I do get into fits where I become absolutely ruthless about purging.

And oddly, they struck me as some of the least grateful people I've ever seen on that show.

That is what I'm aspiring to be. An organized packrat.

Oooh, IKEA has chests of drawers in pink ...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

None of my scars are surgical!

You need to get into more fights with doctors. Like, you walk into a bar and call out, "Is there a doctor in the house", and then one stands up, so you walk over and BAM! And then he goes for his scalpel and it's on!

That's what you need to do.

Huh, I have a C-section scar, and two on my left hand - one from surgery and one from trying to catch a coffee cup and having it break.

Remember that nanny share person who was driving me up a tree? She starts today, and emailed that she thought she wouldn't participate in helping to wash toys just yet since her little fellow really doesn't play with them much (he's three months, so she's not wrong).

I wrote her back in the nicest way possible that I'd really prefer it if she did participate, since I wasn't billing her for his portion of the heat/AC, the space in the freezer she asked for or the extra hour the nanny was there, etc.
