She really has a talent for it -- I wonder if it is a big sister thing.<BR/><BR/><B>Heart,</B><BR/>She's been making my boys laugh a lot with tales of my baby sister brattiness. It's really funny to see them asking, "Mommy really did that?"<BR/><BR/><B>Jali,</B><BR/>I have to post some more updates but we've been running wild! I haven't been home to write too much!<BR/><BR/><B>Miriam,</B><BR/>Yes, she's my only sister -- only sibling I have left! She'll be here till Saturday and she is married -- for 12 years now!<BR/><BR/><B>Ian,</B><BR/>Now that's true neat freakiness! I'll have to ask my sister if she would worry about how messy things are after death. <BR/><BR/><B>Mojan,</B><BR/>I admire you, especially with a baby! <BR/><BR/><B>1969,</B><BR/>Hah! three cheers for artistic temperament. It's the way to go!<BR/><BR/><B>Claudia,</B><BR/>We are having such a great time together. I seriously wish she could stay two weeks instead of only one. <BR/><BR/><B>Keith,</B><BR/>I'm definitely neater than my husband. He'll have crap all over the place and won't even notice. <BR/>She's doing really well at keeping her cool and not wigging out when the living room gets too messy -- although I have to go somewhere tomorrow and she's promising to wreak havoc while she's here alone!Los Angelistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-46767314288922135532008-04-07T17:46:00.000-07:002008-04-07T17:46:00.000-07:00Without my wife I'm sure there would be stuff growing in my fridge. I too blame it on my creative side. Cleaning is time wasted when I could have been creating something (or thinking about it). The wife tolerates it because luckily I finish some stuff, sometimes.Keithhttp://fatherdad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-46068929836787457242008-04-07T14:32:00.000-07:002008-04-07T14:32:00.000-07:00My little sister is like that as well. It drives me completely crazy because you can't find anything. I'll set my glasses down at her house and with in 1.8 seconds they are gone. Where did they go? Who knows?

"You bet I would," she replied.

WE MUST do whatever it is we know to poke that little internal "YIKES" button before we can feel at rest! LOL! I hope you guys have fun. I LOVE when my Sissy comes, all my plastic containers get thrown out and everything organized ~ its like having my very own home improvement show in one sister!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy each other!!!Houseonahill.orghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08047144806524705807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-78852907385464752232008-04-05T10:36:00.000-07:002008-04-05T10:36:00.000-07:00<B>Lola,</B><BR/>Loved the hair! It's hot!<BR/><BR/><B>Jameil,</B><BR/>Girl, I'm SO happy she's here! She's already plotting about organizing my bookcases. Cracks me up!<BR/><BR/><B>Nick,</B><BR/>Sometimes I do envy her because her place is always so neat and tidy. And she was definitely up at 6AM -- we went running at the park and then I walked her around the neighborhood. We are having fun!<BR/><BR/><B>Red,</B><BR/>It's spring so it's time for visiting family! My mom has never been out here. I wish she'd come!<BR/><BR/><B>Cyndee,</B><BR/>I'm SO glad you're here! And I have eight bookcases so have fun with them! LOL! And let me just say, not everyone cleans the tray tables on the airplane, m'kay!<BR/><BR/><B>Sundry,</B><BR/>Straightening shoes is truly neat freakish! Love it. But, I don't think I've ever had the realization that I could become a neat freak! I like a clean kitchen too. There's nothing worse than waking up to crap on the counter. <BR/><BR/><B>Shelly,</B><BR/>Oh yes, she definitely does! It definitely takes energy and I admire her for it.

Sounds like your sis knows what she's about. But please Liz, be kind to her... As a sort of neat freak myself, you don't know how much energy and endurance it takes to be that way!<BR/><BR/>Anyway hope you guys have much fun together :-)Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095351219125923670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-1306676473510086442008-04-05T07:56:00.000-07:002008-04-05T07:56:00.000-07:00Hee! I realized in high school that I could become a neat freak and I stopped myself. I have a friend who is and she actaully admitted to me once, with a truly heavy sigh that "It's such a waste of time." <BR/><BR/>She would get up in the middle of our writing group meetings to put all our shoes--which were left by the front door-in a straight line.<BR/><BR/>I do prefer a tidy house. I do have to clean the kitchen counter before I go to bed or leave for a night out. <BR/><BR/>But even when the house is perfectly clean in anticipation of a visit, there are magazines out and there is one table that's a catch-all mess. I tell myself that this makes my guests feel more comfortable. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking the time to write.Sundryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11395065569691894697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-12813547580351221412008-04-05T07:09:00.000-07:002008-04-05T07:09:00.000-07:00I was going to defend myself but I have to clean your living room, and organize the bookshelves!!!

Like most people, my major clean-ups get done when Visitors are due! I know a few neat freaks who're permanently cleaning and tidying - they're up at 6am to do two hours's housework before they go to work. Jeez, where do they get the energy? Sometimes I envy them, sometimes I think they've just got OCD!Nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-86250971820772753572008-04-04T23:09:00.000-07:002008-04-04T23:09:00.000-07:00AWWW!!
