OMG cleaning

[ladyjanelly]

So.  I've  clearly gone mad.  I've decided that before school starts on Monday, I need to straighten (not deep-clean, but not stuff-it-somewhere) the whole house.  Including such problem spots as:

 the freakin' craft room (done)
             After:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc-QNXWug90 
Utility room (done)
            Before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weFfbwIYchE
            After: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daf8ugavlY4
Front closet (OMG shoes! It's taking longer than the craft room, I swear.  HOW?!!??!!)  (half-done)
            Before:
The "office closet" where we keep random papers and stuff. (unstarted)
The bedroom closet aka most inefficient space evar! (unstarted)

I figured if I could finish the craft room  in around 2 hrs with Kendra's help, I can get these two and a half projects done by monday.

It sounds silly, but it's easier to get around to tackling one of these massive projects if I make a before and after video.  Sam's sure getting his money's worth from the camera, I tell you what.

On a non-cleaning note, Kendra and I have been walk/jogging around the little park.  We're getting longer runs and shorter walks every time.  If we keep it up, I'd say we're about two weeks from being able to make a full lap.  I was using that breathing tecnique where you exhale hard on a one-count and take a 3 count to inhale.  So it's "in, in, in, out!"  That made a drastic difference in a cramp in my side and my endurance and how fast I recovered while walking between runs.

Monday is the first day of weight-training class in school.  Lookin' forward to it.

Well done you! I'm very impressed.

Thanks. I never did get the two "unstarted" projects done. I ended up working more on the craft room, putting up a project-hanging clothes rod between the shelf and the wall by the door, and building a single long shelf over the work space. It was awesome.

And then I used all that clean space to finish someof those half-done projects.
