There are two sides to my personality, and I want to illustrate them here. This picture shows the guest room at present: covered with boxes and blankets, and notably Christmas decorations that haven't yet been put away. This is the Mr. Hyde side. I am unafraid of clutter and have lived with it for years. In my marriage, Brian is actually the cleaner spouse.
However, I love the process of getting organized which is where Dr. Jekyll lives in my personality. I love experimenting with organization, however sometimes those experiments go ary. Nothing ends up organized for weeks on end, or at least until I come back to that particular organization project. For example, Brian laughs at my "getting-the-papers-organized" approach which involves making piles of paper that cover the whole floor of the office. He doesn't like it because sometimes the papers stay organized on the floor rather than actually arriving in the filing cabinet where they are headed.

Prayer to Saint Gerard for Protection During Pregnancy
Great Saint Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of our meek and humble Savior, and devoted child of the Mother of God, enkindle in my heart one spark of that heavenly of charity which glowed in yours and made you a seraph of love. Glorious Saint Gerard, because, like your Divine Master, you bore without murmur or complaint the calumnies of wicked men when falsely accused of crime, you have been raised up by God as the patron and protector of expectant mothers. Preserve me in the dangers of motherhood, and shield the child I now bear, that it may be brought safely to the light of day and receive the sacrament of baptism.

Oh my *giggles*....my whole house looks like this at the moment. I'm so glad you posted this and that I saw it tonight, before you arrived to see the mess tomorrow, otherwise....oh who am I kidding? I was already embarrassed!! However, within in a few weeks I plan to have the new shoe box of an apartment looking more like the picture in your next post lol!
We haven't yet put any of the Christmas decorations back into the closet. It seems like every time we get a free moment to do it something more interesting comes up. (anything is more interesting than packing away boxes after all)
We will eventually get to them I am sure. Or not.
