Eric and I are both artists. We're both really, really tall people. We look a lot alike, often being confused as brother and sister..... weird, I know. But, maybe opposites do attract because Eric is Mr. Clean and I am Miss Messy.
Honestly, I don't understand how a creative, artsy person can be any other way. It just seems wrong to me. But whenever I walk into our office, I get a laugh. Here's how it looked this morning.
Eric's Desk:
My Desk (and this is actually fairly organized for me):
Did you know that it's been scientifically proven that messy people are more productive than their tidy friends. Don't believe me? Well, it's true..... I saw it on 60 minutes.... and I believe everything I see on TV! ;)
My messy method is how I planted more than 20 things yesterday and pulled out more than 6 feet of periwinkle ground cover, 6 shrubs and lots of grass. This is what it looked like when I was done.
Around five in the evening, I called Eric out to see my handiwork...... and to clean up all my piles. You know the best part..... I made him a tasty meal, arranged it beautifully on a pretty plate, took it out to him on our deck and he told me he had the best girl ever!
So, the moral of this story is: be as messy as you want, if you can cook a good dinner all will be forgiven and your man will even clean up after you and thank you for doing all the yard work!
