buried alive


with all the going, going, going...there hasn't been a lot of time for tidying or organizing this week (ok, ok, this month). i'm a little nuts when it comes to cleanliness. i have woke in the morning, and promptly made my bed (now our bed) since i was able to walk. i think when things get hectic, i feel like at the very least i can come home to a serene environment. and i'm not a judger of another's space, just my own.

i tried to clean out my closet. i was thinking it was about time; i still have things in there from high school. i have an assortment of 3 different pant sizes. i sadly have items that are still tagged, and have yet to make their debut. i have things that are totally, absurdly ugly, but are still in good shape, and the frugal in me says "keep it, you can paint in it...or give it away...or use it as a dust rag!" stuff got real when phil sharply told me yesterday morning that he would be in class "allll night" and that i better get on the stick with this closet nonsense.

i was reading an article recently from fast company (if you haven't checked this publication out, you must, it's a delight!) that outlined martha stewart's tips on twitter...she was actually talking about how she writes her own tweets, that it's really her, but there's a part that she says "you have to be you!" which i'm not sure why that resonated with me so much, but it prompted me to post these pictures, because i feel there is always this desire to project a perfect image--online, professionally, publicly--it's exhausting, and clearly not the case here. anyway, point being, we can't be the glossy versions of ourselves 100% of the time (or in my case, have a clean space on my closet floor). at least, not if you plan on having any fun (just sayin'). it may have taken me three weeks or so, but i got it sorted out:
