I cleaned my apartment tonight. Ask me anything.
I have found that my physical space reflects my psychological space and vice versa. I've been mentally scattered lately and I let my apartment get into "a state" as my momma would call it. I'm hoping cleaning up my home will help clean up my brain. :)

I hate cleaning but I'm awfully glad it's done. :)

10. Hee...you are talking to DU's...
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 10:50 PM by VelmaD
favorite baker. I make pretty darn good fudge myself. Though I'm always willing to try chocolate that requires no effort on my part. :)

Oh, I don't provide my own supplies and I don't do windows. :)

5. I like apartment living.
I live alone. Can't really afford a house. I don't need a whole lot of space. And I don't feel like having all the upkeep on a house.

8. Hey
pulling weeds and snaking out clogged drains is a meta-experience.

You don't know what you're missing!

11. Oh I get to do plenty of that...
my best friend lives in a house not too far from me and I get to pull weeds at her house. Plus my momma saves jobs like that up for me whenever I go home to visit.

18. Hey, I do that, and I rent, too!
I'm not one of those renters who takes a mega-shit and calls the landlord, and I have a flower bed outside where there used to be weeds. In fact, it's a Certified NWF Backyard Habitat...

17. Don't take it personally...
it's not the cost of the beer...it's the cost of shipping it from here to there.

Have fun getting enhanced. ;)

13. The hard part now is keeping it tidy.
I always let things get really untidy, then I do a big clean up and promise myself I will keep it that way. A few days later I am back where I started with a big mess.

15. We were obviously seperated at birth
:) I do the same thing. It's nice now but entropy will take over again and it'll all go to hell and I'll be doing this again in a month. *shakes head sadly at self*

28. I'm glad to know that there is someone else out there like me.
I find that living in extremes has its rewards. I get this terrific feeling for the first couple of days after a mega clean-up. My home looks so nice and comfortable. Unfortunately, after a few days I go back to thinking about all the things I need to fix.

22. Having your own space ROCKS!
I love my family and I adore my friends, but sometimes it's really nice to be able to retreat to my cave. :)

I was growing biological weapons in the back of my fridge. But only for defensive purposes.
