do you live in filth and squalor?

I didn't think I did either. Then I put my house on the market. every dust bunny, every cob web, every minute imperfection in my home now seems to be under a magnifying glass. I've turned into the cleaning screaming mimi and no dust mite is safe! the thought of perfectly lovely, potential buyers walking through my house, opening cabinets, closets and drawers has brought me to a place I have never lived; the perfectionist's home.

All I have to say is this house better sell soon or so help me, Mr. Clean is going to get it!! and his little scrubbing bubbles too!!!

Happy New Year!!

It's 2006 and I don't do resolutions. I don't eat black eyed peas. I did toast the New Year with my wonderful hubby, great friends and a glass of bubbly. Thank you Mike Horshead and Lovely Wife for a fabulous evening!! We need to do it more often.

I raise my glass to each of you and wish you a blessed, peaceful, prosperous, invigorating, exciting, surprising New Year in 2006! All God's best to you from this first day until the last.

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

So here's to 2006, may it be the best one yet!
