The neat freak gene

I was a pig as a kid and pretty much through college.  I was an out-and-out SLOB, but now... I can't sleep if the kitchen isn't cleaned up, I can't leave the house if there is anything left out (my studio doesn't count), and my day can't start if my bed isn't made.  The worst thing ever (next to losing bowel control during a race... it happens people!) would be for you to stop by my house and there be something out!  I know, I know...but I get it honest.  I remember someone stopping by our home when I was in HS and my mom yelling "the vacuum is out, the vacuum is out, someone put the vacuum away!!" I think my (mental) response was "ok, psycho!", but now guess who's psycho?? AND, don't guess Darling daughter, cause if you do.... you're wrong!!
Yesterday she told me "after school I'm going to get this room cleaned up, I promise".  This is what she got done:
Well, it's a start!  I hope you're outside enjoying the gorgeous weather instead of scrubbing grout or putting your spices in alphabetical order!  Are you a neat freak or a messy?  Or a messy that lives as a neat freak (that's my category!)?

I'm not a slob and not a neat freak. I like a "comfortable" mess. But then we seldom have people drop by so we're good.

We don't have people drop in either, I don't know if people do that as much anymore? and I'm off of a dirt road and who wants to wash their car every time they come over?

I am not sure anymore. When I lived alone, my apartment was always spotless. Aubrey lived in a house and his house was always messy. Now, our house has its good days and bad days - I like to think he is the problem :) I do make up my bed every morning but I am also a bit of a pack rat.
