Show and Tell - Domestic Uncluttering

QUICK UPDATE: I POSTED THIS SATURDAY. TOMORROW IS WEDNESDAY AND THE HOUSE STILL LOOKS LIKE THIS. A MIRACLE? YUP! I THINK WE HAVE COMMITTED TO BANNISH THE CLUTTER! (PLUS EVERY KID TOY WENT UPSTARS...THAT HELPS)

TOLD DH THAT YOU ARE ALL EXPECTING HIM. HE'S CHECKING HIS SCHEDULE!

Yesterday dawned an exciting day. I had a meeting at a cafe with a well-published author. She is the client of a friend, and we were connected!

DH said, "You're probably going to be a while, huh?"
I said, "I hope so. That would mean she likes what I have to say!"

He even managed to get to that back hallway you just throw stuff in!

Me: "Wow! It looks great in here! You really got inspired."

DH: "No. I just got sick of the clutter. I hoe'd-out."

Another clear indication that I live in hicksville! "Hoe'd-out" is a commonly used term. And, in this case it means that our old, ratty, stained, blue chairs now live on our porch.

Regardless, I loved that he said it and that he did it!

Now, here's more show and tell!
