1. Do you have any tattoos?

2. What was the last thing you bought?

3. Would you rather be behind the camera or in front of it?

4. Window or Aisle seat?

5. Have you ever had a poem or song written about you?

Nope, just a nice neat home. Some people don't mind things all around their house like used towels, clothes on the floor, etc. Other do :)

Nope. I take 3 pillows and stack them, then the next 3 and stack them and the other 4 at one time and put them on top. Fold down the comforter, fold down the blankets and sheets together, put the 3 pillows on the bed. Not really hard or long. This includes walking around the bed too-lol!!

This is pretty common at our house too. I don't worry too much about the kids' bath towels hanging in the bathroom. We live here, it's not a show house. It's clean and tidy, the toilets are clean, clothes and towels are not strewn accross the floor.... I am just not to concerned with a guest seeing a bath towel haning in the bathroom.

Now that I've said that, I suppose that I could see a person hiding the family's bath towels, if they were only allowed to use the old ratty ones, then putting the nice* ones out for display.

At one of my previous jobs, all employees were required to be in the office (if not on leave or with a client) from 9-3 - those were considered the "core" hours. You could do the rest of your hours when you wanted, as long as you were reasonably close to 40 and got your job done. I had one employee in my dept that worked 9-6. There was a lady in an adjacent department that worked 6-3. I worked 7:30-4 with a 1/2 hour lunch.

You eat on the bare table? That is not good for the wood.

I agree and I would be worried about scratches, which is why we use a table cloth or placemats on the dining room table.

But hanging damp towels on a hand rail on the basement stairs doesn't sound neat or clean.

Yep, it is like when they stage homes for magazine stories. What you se in the mag may be very stylish, but it is usually not how the place actually looks IRL (unless it is one of my uncle's).

In college I babysat for a family where the house was decorated to within an inch of it's life.

Not having guest towels our doesn't equal "not clean and neat". If a guest came by unexpectedly and would be staying long enough to use the restroom, I could easily switch out the handtowels for fresh ones ... it would take me as little or less time that it takes you to switch out pillows and placemats, which is, as you've said, less than a minute.


I do have to admit, currently, my house is a pit. This is one of those rare times that I'd be abashed if someone stopped by unexpectedly. We got very little done around the house this weekend. Hopefully that will be somewhat remedied tonight, since dh and The Boy will be gone, and I can get some things done. Of course, right now the guest bath isn't usable anyway - a valve broke this weekend and we have plumbers coming this afternoon.
