Kill your vacuum cleaner

I was definitely off in la-la land picking my nose when they were passing out the neat and tidy genes.

One of my earliest memories is of my step-father slowly shuffling through the piles of clothing, toys and childhood detritus that littered my bedroom floor to say goodnight. He would take wide skating steps, somewhat like a cow catcher, to clear a path.

Not much has changed. It's time to tidy when it looks like robbers have tossed the place and not before.

This isn't to say that I'm not organized. I can pick a needle out of haystack when necessary as it all hangs together according to the Heather filing system. And I'm not a dirty girl. You could eat off the toilet if you wanted, but who has ever wanted to do that?

Anyway, I think that anal neatness is a character flaw. Super tidy people are too uptight and should learn to let their hairdown a little. I'm not being defensive, really.

Then again, taking a look around here, I'd have to say that I could put mine up a little more.

I've been robbed!
Craig has a wonderful list of origami links. Oh, and I think that he and Judith might have to go one on one in when it comes to bookshelf inches.

Flip-flops are the coolest, even for shoveling snow. I knew there was a method to my madness. [Thanks Ed - what is he up to, anyway? Have you seen his new digs?]

The monolith has left the building.
