As with all "regimes" that's the tricky part.<br /><br />Mom on the Run, You made Andrea and me lol.<br /><br />Jackie, You too. I got a Virgo by pure dumb luck.<br /><br />No, Sarah, Drea doesn't do this for a living. She works for a large non-profit in the States. That's sort of what she did for me -- it was a non-profit experience on her part. (I did take her shopping however.)<br /><br />xoxo,TishTish Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865177127050648489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-3798907962467513712010-01-16T21:56:12.567+01:002010-01-16T21:56:12.567+01:00Hi Tish!

I can be a very hard, thorough worker and I can be lazy as well. <br /><br />I love being organized, I hate clutter and yet, I live with mounting clutter and disorganization to a certain point and then go like a white tornado, getting horribly distracted along the way, thus missing my incredibly impossible goal of cleaning my entire house top to bottom. <br /><br />Lucky for you to have such a wonderful daughter to come and clean out some of those cob webs that allow a fresh new outlook on things.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452387658787807176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-69040888820511344492010-01-13T20:42:15.480+01:002010-01-13T20:42:15.480+01:00Tonight when we go to the adoption meeting I am go...Tonight when we go to the adoption meeting I am going to request a Virgo child.;-)La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-80963185140715874672010-01-13T14:08:28.815+01:002010-01-13T14:08:28.815+01:00I wish my true Virgo would come out.

I spent the entire fall disposing of years worth of clutter.
