I work with a woman who is a neatnik. Everyone in the bank says "You can eat off Sheila's floor!" Hey, you can eat off my floor too, but you'll be coughing up a fur ball or two-- just ask Garbage Gut! And besides, why would I want to eat off someone's floor? Their feet have been walking around there and Lord knows what else. I know, I know, it is a saying about how neat and clean that person is. Even when I had a house keeper I wouldn't have asked someone to eat off my floor- they still might cough up a fur ball. I guess I didn't do a great job of training or expecting much of my hired help. See a pattern? I'm pretty laid back.
I recall dating a guy whose living room was "OFF LIMITS." Don't even think about stepping in there and if you did, his mom heard. She had laid out plastic runners along the floor. Oh and if you got off the runner (which you shouldn't have been in there in the first place), your foot left a mark in the immaculately vacuumed carpet which was white! We weren't over there much...maybe once in the 2 or 3 years I dated him.
I grew up in a home where we lived in our home; it wasn't a showcase in
the sense that Better Homes and Gardens would be knocking at the door
for a tour, but my friends were always welcome and we "hung" out in my
room...that is till we got wheels! Later, Mom had one junk room (my brother's former room- HA). The door was closed and it was off limits to guests. I have a junk house (I think I told you my father's motto was "if one's good; two's better."). I can't do anything in moderation so I've got my junk house, my junk garage, and my junk storage shed. LOL I beginning to see a pattern here too. I've read where there is a correlation between having too much stuff around your house and having too much stuff around your stomach, hips, and thighs. I want to read more about this because it is interesting. I am overweight and have a lot of crap. Sheila is thin and you can eat off her floor. I think I'll go hang out with Sheila!
