she once told me, "when you get older and married don't think that you can go and get all frumpy just because you've landed a husband...." (or something to that effect) and i always swore that would never happen to me. and honestly i didn't have to worry that much because i am like my mom and i think my mom has a pretty great style.
but i understand how you can slide into that.
i really do.
here's the thing.
once you've gone to the bathroom with the door open (tmi?), coughed yourself into a tizzy for 1 1/2 hours, thrown up while he holds your hair out of the way and wake up looking particularly miserable and with severe morning breath... i mean there's nothing he can't get past anymore.... i mean really - do you have to impress him?
but i try. i really do. and while this may seem a little far fetched this isn't the real issue here.
i also have a fairly clean and tidy house (and yes.... i am aware that i don't have children- but that's not the point).
i think that i will always have a pretty clean and tidy house (again - another trend of my mother's)... but i understand how that too can slip into disarray.
last weekend i wanted to paint.
so last week i emptied out my laundry room and moved everything into the living room (minus the desk, washer & drier). i taped and mudded everything and it was all ready to go. until i went to the hardware store with my handy-dandy certificate for 2 free cans of paint and realized that the person who was working didn't know how to mix paint (the audacity!!)
so i have now been living for more than 1 week with my living room mixed into a messy laundry room.
at first it severly bothered me.... and now
i am getting entirely too comfortable with the mess.
so tomorrow. i am going to paint...... maybe........................... the mess isn't that bad!!
- yes my closet really does look like that sometimes - my need for tidyness doesn't (and never really has) extended to my drawers or closets!
