I have no idea why I continue to let people in on my weakness. I should be ashamed, embarrassed, and humiliated, but instead I'm going to look at it in the following positives:
I'm glad I don't have OCD. I'm even happier that Steven doesn't have OCD. I'm glad I can take a swig of that Coke Zero after I snap the photo. I'm still an okay person because I recycle and shop with reusable bags. I'm happy that I still have all the Broncos cups I hunted down after our previous game at Mile High. I'm glad my purse holds the record for most crap carried around on a single shoulder every day. I'm glad I can smile at the thought of Jeni showing Jason this picture and imagining his disgust . I'm glad the sun is shining because I know it's hitting my tulip bulbs that are showing leaves (HOORAY!) I'm grateful to the inventor of the ball point pen because heaven knows I wouldn't have the patience to dip the fountain pen in ink every five seconds to write on all those papers. Btw, the feather on the fountain pen would also drive me crazy. I'm glad the pantry is behind me so I can get sidetracked by food when I begin to dejunk the counter of interest. I'm happy to have all that scratch paper handy in case I get a phone call that requires me to quickly jot down important information, like where mini vanilla wafers are on sale. I'm glad I just wasted one minute of your time to provide you with nothing other than trite and useless information.

Hey, Im not saying I love the kitchen counter. But, I am saying I love the reason it looks like that. Thats what a counter looks like when your always taking care of our sons blood sugar, helping our kids with homework, keeping our pantry full of chips, taking things to a ton of different people to make them feel better, always volunteering at the school and always allowing the kids to have friends at our house. Ill take the trade anytime. Love you babe!
Well....I'm glad my counter isn't the only one that looks like that! I KNOW it drives KC crazy- especially the nook between the fridge and the wall. I can't even SEE the counter in that particular area. And you KNOW how I enjoy a cleaned off counter like I enjoy a good round of salsa from Chili's. And that's a LOT. That stuff is like crack to me. And now I'm telling YOU useless information.
At any rate, you go girl. Your counter is just fine, and like the good Steve-O said: It's a good trade off for being too busy doing nice things for other people!!
I came right home to read your blog! Happy Blogger Birthday by the way....
I can't wait to show this to Jason! He will be so proud to have been mentioned on your blog.
