Oh Kim! What are you sorry for? These tours were a brilliant idea! I loved being able to "open my home" to everyone. It might not be ready for "House Beautiful" or "architectural Digest" but its my home and gosh darn it, I'm proud of it. There were many hones that were absolutely stunning and I'd love to live in, but they aren't my home! I love my house! All of the cracked walls, lousy plumbing, stained carpets! I do not feel as if any house was "better" or "grander" than mine, nor do I feel that others were less than mine. All had something I'd die to have! As soon as my camera is back from repairs, I too will do a "real Cat Tour" complete with my average daily messes!

I'll start with what my office usually looks like - no matter how often I clean it. In less than two hours it looks like this. I feel like Pigsty form the Charlie Brown comics:

Complete with a grungy fish tank that no longer has fish. A broken curtain rod from when Allen attacked the curtan (that mean wind was blowing it!) My house is my home and i love it no matter what state its in! Ok, I prefer the clean state.
