So, how about you? Leave me a note?

Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteThey all apply to me at one time or another, too. What a great list. For right now, it's the changing season - fall, and a puttery mood.

Usually, I clean like the dickens when family or company is coming. But I have a routine and try to keep to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm a neat freak but not always a clean freak.
Oh the blog looks so good. It's every now and then for me. Used to be when company was coming. I think I will have "come in and buy something" house, yard sale. I have too many things and no will power to get rid of anything.

I am a clean freak and seeing a spoon on the counter will motivate me to clean the whole kitchen, I know pathetic eh!....knowing company is coming always initiates my putting out fresh towels, soaps and some delicious smells coming from the kitchen....reading this I realize I gotta get a life.:-)Hugs
ReplyDeleteWith just the two of us around here, it doesn't need a thorough clean that often because by now we keeps things where they belong. I have used 'all of the above',however! I love cleaning and making things sparkle, decorating for the seasons, and even re-arranging things for a new look, but I sure am not 'fanatic' about it anymore like I was when I was younger! I still like keeping things organized and clean!
