Cinderella, Cinderella..

... night and day it's "Cinderella!" THAT is how I feel right now. Like I've been cleaning all day, all week, all year. Spring cleaning started in the summer, like usual, and I tackled Julia's bedroom first and foremost. That room could give a person nightmares if they weren't accustomed to the horrificness of it all! I cleaned her closet, and that includes getting rid of the clothes that she doesn't like, organizing her shelves and shoes, and taking out the crib full of old stuffed animals and baby dolls. She got rid of a TON of that stuff, and now there is next to nothing in her huge closet! We refolded all of the clothes in her bureau, which I folded once upon a time when I did the laundry. We cleaned out under her bed, (anyone want a very little used acoustic guitar?) and now all that remains is a large bin full of birthday cards, seashells, and stationary. Now there's no danger of her guinea pig choking on anything when she runs around the room! Her nightstand is dusted, her guinea pig cage is scrubbed, her basket of CD's and random crud is organized, and her rug is vacuumed. Peace reigns once again. In my room, I picked the clothes off the floor that have been lying there for a week, and I cleaned off my bureau which was covered in random iPod and headband stuff. I removed the binders from my desk, which have been sitting there since June 16. I took out all the remaining notebooks and papers in them and stacked them neatly on my desk for my mom to glance at if she so wishes. I removed the childish animal posters from my door and GooGoned the tape marks away. I took some off the stuff from the front of my binder out (my panda tracing, my ice cream cone, my sheet full of random doodles like the failure strawberry) and posted them on my door. In the center, at eye level, I put an 8x10" picture of me from JCPenney, because no one ever gets anywhere in life by being modest. On my door is a list of songs that I want from iTunes, which I may put here one day, along with a wish list of all the things that I need to either buy or wish to own. I started a puzzle with my mom, because we're cool like that, and now I am being banished to my room.
Au revoir!
