This is another thread to make me feel better about my pathetic life. Confession is good for the soul.

I only go to the mailbox about once a week, unless I'm expecting a book. (And only then because I don't want to make the mailman mad if I have a book in there clogging up the junk mail.) Then I pile it on my kitchen counter until I have a spare minute to open all of it--once a month.

I just found a valentine from a sweet wench. :blush: (Sweet wench, don't feel bad. I still have a couple of unopened Christmas cards. It was one of those years.)

Please tell me how awful all of you are, too. Is your microwave a mess? Is there dust on your ceiling fan? Do you hang the toilet paper backwards or squeeze the toothpaste from the middle? (I do! It's more fun that way, and I have my ways of getting the last globs out!) Do you keep lots of food in the fridge so no one can see how dirty the shelves are? Are your houseplants suffering a slow death? Do you have a room or closet no one can open?

Or am I the worst person ever?
 
One reason we like being at the beach house is because it is so calming to be in a house with no clutter. Our house in Georgia is a mess. We built it 20 years ago and have 20 years worth of stuff here. I hate clutter, so I just shove everything in closets, cabinets, drawers, etc. so that I don't see it. I am so disorganized. And the house needs a good deep clean. The cleaning lady just hits the high spots.

The attic is a toxic cesspool. When we moved in, I had just had a miscarriage and was bedridden. So hubby just got the movers to take all of the junk from the attic in the old house and throw it in the attic of the new house.

Last weekend I did get rid of two years worth of AJCs that I hadn't gotten around to reading.

It's gotten so out of hand that it stresses me out. The thought of doing anything about it seems overwhelming. I wish I could hire someone to help me. I just can't do it myself.:bang:

Oh, yeah, and my houseplants are suffering a slow death. I should just get rid of them all.

So if you are a bad person, I'm in da club with you!:blush:

i have too many to list. i will say that going from a house to an apt. has not been an easy adjustment. i don't have near as much kitchen, bathroom or closet space. my laundry does get backed up, but i have too many clothes that are dry clean only, now i look for clothes that are machine washable.

Excellent thread, NoHall! I have been tearing my house apart the last week looking for a rug tag (trying to trade in an old rug) and have found all the sheet that BR has thrown in drawers and cabinets! It is a combo of sentimental stuff and stuff I didn't know what to do with at the time, although I have found some interesting things.

BR...I have an idea. Invite Mermy for a weekend. She is yout ticket! :wave:

Here's a bad twist to a good deed: I have file drawers and closets full of nicely organized stuff that I DON'T NEED. Some of it is all my landscaping stuff--catalogs, equipment manuals, etc. that I may have thought I needed at one point but that I most assuredly will never need again. Now I have to find the time to purge it.

I also have huge bins of material. I used to do some quilting, and I have scraps, notions, and tools left over from BOTH grandmothers and my aunt's neighbor (I'm not making this up!) that fill an entire closet and then some. I hate to get rid of any of it, so I won't, and I guess that it will sit in my house and make me look like I have a hobby. If I ever marry into money, hubba can build me a little sewing room that I will never enter. It will be very cute.

Thanks, dahlin'! :wave: At least BR feels my pain!

Oh no!! I was saying yes I have all those things going on at my house!! Not that you're the worst person ever! (I work with those people.) I can't even tell you about all the crap in my house. Of course, 99% of it belongs to mr. dd. :lol:
All my crap is neatly organized and put away. :lol:
