Confessions of a clean freak

Okay, some people think of me as a clean FREAK! (aka Monica Gehler). But I'm busting the myth today, I AM NOT. Well, maybe a little bit...really, only when I know company is coming or the messes have gotten way out of control.

What I am a bit freakish about is seeing all of my junk. This is what our computer desk looks like on the average day...and it drives me CRAZY! But I know me, and I make a mess of the thing everyday. It is such a pain to clean up everyday, so we came up with a plan. Really, we just wanted something more attractive. But was it the desk that was unattractive or was it the mess and clutter that had taken over it? Both.

So this our solution...
You can't see a darn thing! It's the BEST desk in the world. I just shut the door and voila! It tucks into the corner and once the old desk is out of here, we'll even have room for some "Living Room" furniture!

So, from the outside appearance, my house may seem clean, but truthfully, I'm just good at hiding all of our crap! Open any draw/desk or door and you will see the messy me! And normally I'd be embarrassed if anyone saw my secret stashes of mess, but hey...it's a new day and I DON'T CARE!

LOVE IT! I would love to come and see your house. Sounds like you have gotten all new stuff and decorated it so cute. What do the boys rooms look like? What about Anna's?

I love that! Where did you get it? I appreciate you clean freakishness. I long to be more that way. So stay just the way you are.

Now you just have to remember to shut it! That's our problem...someone drops by and there's no time to shut the desk! Looks great though. I'm sure you'll love it.

Wow I am just sitting here thinking what a mess my house is and how I have to get up of my lazy bum and clean it. I wish I had a desk like that, that I could just shove everything into. You're lucky. Have fun cleaning.

Our garage is kind of like that. Lots of junk but it sure looks nice when it is closed.

I remember the first time that I found one of your drawers. hahaha You freaked out and then the next time we were over you pointed out that your drawer was clean.
