i accept orgjunkie's challenge.

here's the text of a comment i posted on her blog. you see, although i posted about her 30-day organizational challenge, i had not thoroughly read it. i was too scared. of what? i dunno. after all, this is the blog of the self-proclaimed queen of procrastination. could it be that i am afraid of change, even if it is for the better?

i procrastinated 90% of the weekend. consequently, the main living area and kitchen are acceptable for company. the guest bathroom is acceptable for company. our master bedroom just might be locked when 11:00 a.m. comes and my lunch guests begin to arrive. i mean, just because i am able to be honest with these women in our message board doesn't mean i am ready to reveal just how unkempt i am, does it? nope. unless there's an emergency and the bathroom is taken, then i might unlock the master suite so someone can use the master bath.

oh, to have been born with just a little bit of that type "A" personality that my younger sister apparently got in her genes. and hubby's younger sister.

anyway, the kitchen floor is mopped, and the house smells like murphy's oil soap. the toys are picked up, the living room has been dusted. a quick run of the vacuum.

and now, it's time to get into "editor" mode and read something hubby has been working on all weekend. so, i leave you for tonight, with the text of that comment that i said i'd post (for those of you who don't feel like clicking over to orgjunkie's blog and reading it there):

"As I lay here in my bed and look around my unkempt bedroom, I need look no further for the project to tackle. I could enter both categories, if it were allowed... the dresser or the whole room. (ok, so the dresser is part of the whole room.. i get it now.) Anyway, I remember once upon a time, a not-so very long time ago, when dh and I moved into our first apartment. I actually kept our bedroom fairly clean, the dresser top organized enough so lighting candles would not be a fire hazard. Yes, it's time for me to accept your challenge."

Come April, my pet project (along with scrapbooking) will be to do something about the chaotic mess in our bedroom. Good thing I don't scrap in here.
