Shiny squeaky clean
My house is shiny clean (squeaky may be a bit of an exaggeration) I am ready to have company- I even found the guest room. A couple of trips to the store managed to get things organized. Yeay for under-bed organizers! All of those too small clothes are now tucked neatly away for the eventuality that I will lose weight again.
The biggest change is this: During the summer I purchased an over the door shoe rack of the shelf type variety, not the plastic/fabric ones. Big mistake. It doesn't stay together, it takes up a lot of room and the shoes don't stay aligned. It ended up looking really messy and blocking the door. So last night I grabbed an under-bed organizer and put all my "play" shoes in it- You know the kind, 4 inch heels, strappy, and totally impractical for everyday wear. I purchased one of the cloth and plastic over the door hangers, hung it on the closet door behind my door and put the everyday and practical shoes in it. The closet door doesn't get opened as often so it will put less wear on the bag. It doesn't impede the bedroom door more than an inch or two so it's all good. I also got a couple of photo boxes and put my summer shoes in them. Boots just don't fit anywhere so they'll get to sit out and be messy.
My poor kitties are awfully confused- I've blocked their hideaways. ;>p At least now I know if I need to find the shy ones, I only have one bed to look under. I spent an awful lot of time being angry at Sinatra last night as I was cleaning and trying to remove his insecurity markings. I do not understand this misbehavior.
There are some cleaning tasks I did not do, but overall, I think it looks pretty nice. Now if only I knew when to expect my guest and if I need to pick her up somewhere. I need to do grocery shopping which is better done while I'm still in Corvallis but puts me a long ways from home if she shows up sooner than I expect. I saw that Fearga mentioned dinner- so perhaps they will do that before she comes out to my place. I know I'm a little farther out than most.
At some point, I really, really need to get prepared for my Orals. I'm not making any progress and probably won't this weekend unless I have most of the day Sunday. YIKES! I'm getting rather nervous about this. (ok I am- no getting about it) There are only 12 days until D day. *gulp*
