Prepping for Apartment Therapy
My apartment and I spent a lot of quality time together over the weekend. I cleaned and arranged and rearranged and cleaned again and made it as fancy as possible. And it's all because Guerrin and Mat are featuring a tour of my pad on Apartment Therapy sometime this week. (!)
Because I am who I am, I certainly made it a slightly stressful situation for myself. I know how snarky the commenters on that site can get, and I got nervous that my place wasn't cute enough. And then I got nervous that it wasn't clean enough. So I cleaned my little heart out and cute-d it up as much as humanly possible.
But you know what? I live here. And that means that I use things in this apartment. And after I use them, they are dirty/uncute again. So I'd clean/cute them up once more. And thus the crazy-lady cycle continued.
Yet, once they got here and gushed away over the decor, the cuteness, and the cleanness, I felt tons better. Mat took pictures and Guerrin took notes and I finally took a deep breath.
I can't wait to see the results. I'll give you a heads up when the post goes live. Wish me luck!
And P.S. I know! New site! What do you think?

Everything looks great and I am sure your apartment is very clean. I can't wait to see you featured on Apartment Therapy. The new design for M-Dashing is so you. I will read everyday and maybe even comment a time or two.
There is snow in NC and needless to say, everything has come to a standstill. Wish I were in NYC.
