Hi all! You can guess why I'm here, right?
I just met sidestep, clutterbug, hopehope, and DancingShellby in the chat room. They were all really supportive. Sidestep helped me do my first chat challenge (laundry)! It was great!
You probably want to know more about me than "I'm new," so, here goes:
31/F/Florida married no kids art student between jobs cat ownee fantasy reader
How about you? When did you join, and has it helped? I've seen some amazingly inspiring things here so far, and lots of love goes out to you.
I can do this! I just need to learn how!
Hope to get to know you all better!

Hey thanks, everybody, for helping me get to know you better! messyshell ~ I'm sure I'll get to see you more soon. Your entertainment center sounds like a dream! I hope I get there! Ooo, Vegas? What's it like living in Vegas? Cheap food? I bet the climate is great! AnnieOkie ~ Thanks for the encouragement. I look forward to it! Haha! What are you doing for your son this week? And I never get out in the yard... I bet your lawn looks awesome! charis ~ I know I will! I'll bet your "maintenance except for" is exactly how average houses work! That's great! Scoring? Is that where they cut little dents in the pages for the spine? I dunno, I'm just guessing, ha! eatingbonbons ~ Haha, love the name! What does 'retired' mean? You substitute teach, maybe? Oh my gosh, rescued animals. That sounds like a lot to keep up with! messymimi ~ Wow, your life sounds full! Five kids and four jobs and everything? I hope I can be married that long and keep up with that much! Looking at your pets... that poor squirrel! ! crazycatlady ~ Awesome! Congratulations on the grandbaby! Gosh, I wish I had your pets, too! Glad to hear SooS has helped so much. What level are you at now? papaswife ~ Wow, that's awesome, a teenager who appreciates you! I'm kind of afraid to ask if 'Dogman' means your husband or your pet, ! Where are you in Canada? I bet it feels nice up there lately. You guys all sound so nice! Thanks for all your kind words. I'll try not to let you down! I've been working in chat more than in the boards, it seems. I'm still reading your stuff when I can, guys! I'm just trying to work more than post. Let's see how that goes~! Love you all! Eris

Eris, I think that I am level 0-1. No one comes into my house and says "wow, what a clean house", but it never really looks a total mess, either. The part that the housekeeper keeps up stays nicer than the parts she doesn't, like in my bedroom. (DH is wiggy about her being in our room .)
I still have a room of doom, old storage that mostly needs to be thrown out....but most of the house is quite cleanish, and we can play board games on the living room floor, and eat at the kitchen table. It is quite lovely, really. I still have room to grow, but am very happy at this point.
Thanks for asking!
