spring cleaning and why i'm a monica

I have had a mad urge to clean things around the house. I think it might be because I have so many things in my life right now that I can't control, and cleaning and organizing gives me an instant feeling of accomplishment. There is also that feeling of getting rid of things, like washing that man, or whomever, whatever, out of your hair. And it makes things prettier, too. This weekend I don't know what came over me. Usually when I clean, I do one thing, like dust and vacuum, and then I sit around. But I was like a machine, no rest for the weary. I hung pictures in the living room and cleaned, I scrubbed the deck and the front porch, I planted flowers, I cleaned my bedroom and bathroom, I did laundry, and I painted our gardening stand. I feel very accomplished, but a little...like Monica from friends? Will I start labeling our kitchen shelves? I will admit, I sort of wanted to. Currently, my bathroom is in a state of disarray due to the unfortate collapse of my ceiling last week after my upstairs neighbors cleaned their porch. This resulted in the buckets of water they used coming in through my ceiling, which was very exciting. We've had lots of water excitement in our house, from pipes bursting under the kitchen sink, to water streaming down the walls above the laundry closet, and now the bathroom. Our maintenance man ripped down my ceiling and is replacing it now. My next project will be painting the kitchen cabinets white, and painting the bathroom after he's done replacing the ceiling, but I haven't decided what colors. I kinds of like these pictures...
