They feel that they are allowed to sleep with guests. But you may have heard the critters in the walls. Who knows out here? <br />That little lizard may have been the same one but I doubt it. It was right by the house. Its twin more likely. <br />I hope that DTG used bleach on those bins.

I call it bringing order to chaos - as if, right? You can judge the state of my inner life by the tidiness of my outer life, pretty much. And cleaning provides pretty instant gratification, which is good for the soul - See! I accomplished something! Woo-hoo!<br /><br />Also, I should tell you I am a huge fan of Fabuloso. I particularly love the lavender scent.<br /><br />Oh, and your quest for the stinky critter in the Panther Room makes me wonder if all the scratching and scrabbling I heard when Liz and I were sleeping in there last Friday night was the dogs, as I thought at the time, or some mystery varmint trying to claw its way in to our chamber of slumber. *shudder*<br /><br />I do love you. And I love your new header - can that be the same little lizard Mr. Moon adopted last week?Kati Schardlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976452398525277058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-56820780530260266692011-07-15T08:46:54.062-04:002011-07-15T08:46:54.062-04:00Birdie- Bless you, baby.

What did I do instead? I started to hoard. (I am going to eventually going to write a post on this.) I wish I could have cleaned but everything was so sad and awful. I barely had energy to make toast. Anyway, I am a recovering hoarder and I would give my right arm (which makes sweeping difficult) to be a person that cleans when she is depressed.<br /><br />And no wonder you are tired!

They die any old where, and one, almost funny, died on his mouse pad - it looked like it was napping. But the smell.... lord, I'm not a tidy housewife, but bad smells make me want to pick up and move my camp.<br />There was also the raccoon under the porch that made things smell for a while....<br />anyway, I feel your pain. I wish fabuloso would fix it, but the only thing that worked for me was time. Spray on your favorite perfume and sniff yourself until time does it's magic. xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-55031705839067983552011-07-14T18:20:04.940-04:002011-07-14T18:20:04.940-04:00Shortly after I got here and was trying to impress...Shortly after I got here and was trying to impress the Justices, I had a meeting with one.
