My house is not my own, but has been generously provided by my Auntie B for a very generous rental fee. We intend to buy a house of our own some time this winter but this had provided a wonderful place for me and Chris (and Manny) while we save and I work in Massachusetts :-)
My house (like Gretchen's) is usually covered in a layer of dog fur. We vacuum/swiffer frequently but it just seems to never go away. Manny is like Pig Pen in the Charlie Brown cartoons with a cloud of fur flurrying around him at any given time
Most of the house is reasonably clean and tidy however our bedroom leaves a lot to be desired. I have had a life long habit of leaving clothes everywhere, and alas marriage has not changed this trait. I try and try to be better, but it is just my biggest struggle domestically speaking :-)
My house holds a wealth of exercise equipment that is rarely/never used. Chris started our marriage calling my exercise ball "in the corner ball" and will have conversations occasionally with it and how it is not used. When we moved to this new house he renamed it "in the basement ball" and has proceeded to tell me how occasionally he runs into "in the basement ball" in the kitchen at night when he goes to get a snack. Apparently "in the basement ball" would like to see some more action. Well "in the basement ball" can hope. Besides I don't know what he is complaining about he has "in the basement eliptical" and "in the basement yoga mat" to keep him company. Perhaps he is just jealous that "in the basement ab-rocket" graduated to "in the family room ab-rocket". Anyway I digress.
Hmm...this blog is getting a bit lengthy. Perhaps I will tell you more about my house tomorrow.

"In the corner ball" is one of my favorite Chris jokes...I laugh every time!
I can't understand how your bad habits have crept up on you so quickly. You're bedroom was so tidy at Lancaster! (To everyone reading this, Sarah used to come next door to my room as her's was too messy! AND it used to take her days to pack up for the breaks as she had to try to fit everything back in her cases!).
I have a "in the garage ball" however I only got it for when I was in labour (and I used it!). I am refusing to let it down though as I will start to use it for exercise.........I will!
Haha, love the post Sarah! I too have a "in the basement treadmill", "in the closet weights", "in the closet yoga mat", and "in the closet ball". Some day I'll rub the solid layer of dust off and use them again. Being prengnat is such a good excuse to not use them!
Thank God I don't have to read Joes joke anymore! Our "in the basement ball" is now flat as a pancake thanks to a two year old who found a pin and thought it was a great time to stab holes in the ball.
