shhh!

I have a dirty secret. It resides in one of our upstairs rooms. So when visitors come I can carefully lock the door to avoid discovery. Little do they know the truth of what lurks behind the locked.
my work space.
Recovery Step 1: Admitting there's a problem. Check.
And poor Jim. Bad enough, this is the view from his own tidier corner (though I do like to think that me sitting in that chair helps somewhat?):He still has to deal with the truth that my disease is of the creeping sort. The infringing variety. The kind that begins with an innocent paper on the edge of his desk. Then a magazine, camera bag, two weeks' worth of mail, glue?, cough syrup?, my green cup (there's no way a glass of water would survive on my own desk..for obvious reasons).
Today I plan to progress my Recovery. By tackling this beast. For the sake of order and sanctity of marriage. Wish me luck. Give me support. Check back for "after" shots.

Good for you tackling that project. My space is the corner of my bedroom. It is a magnet for 'stuff' and is never quite entirely clean.
I am proud of you posting that. I need to do the same thing for my garage because I am horrified of it!
Do you remember those Christmas cards I mentioned a while ago? Yep. I finally, finally boxed them up (along with the past two years worth of cards and keep papers) just two days ago. Maybe some of my clean-it-up vibes worked my way to your house? It has been a satisfying few days here.
But you are lucky that you have a door to close! Our computer is just off the entryway and kitchen. Just think of what it will look like when you're done!
I just made my blog private and would love to have your email address. shawnaborg@gmail.com. It's been so long! I have taken a big blogging break, but I'm back. I live in Utah now. We are practically neighbors!
the pictures will come...I just got photoshop so I'm spending my time playing.
Can't wait to see your results
