Photo Friday: A Mess→[More:] photograph a place in your home or workspace at its worst; suggested by brina.
This is our living room table; I don't think it can get much worse than that. Not seen on the photo: two laptops, cellphone, another pile of books, a huge mug half-full of tea.
Whee! These are from our old place; I took a ton of pictures to (a) show just how impossible it was to get everything in order and (b) remind myself that I never, ever wanted to live like that again. (We had sublet my mom's old apartment, and it was crammed with all of her stuff collected over a period of 13 years, plus our stuff. Completely insane.
Out of about 40 pics, here are the two I give you: ≡ Click to see image ≡
The dining room table. Littered, always, with random books and remainders of craft projects and takeout menus and, for some reason, a watch box. Also, two of the dining room chairs are covered by a futon cover that we hung out to dry and never moved. ≡ Click to see image ≡
This was in the room meant to be our "libraratory," a term The Boy and I coined to mean library and laboratory combined. We were going to use it as our workspace, but considering it was full of junk that was clearly impossible to do.
I forgot about this, or I would have taken a picture of my house right now. It's horrifying. But I didn't, so you will have to be satisfied with this shot of my yard last summer, decorated by my lovely dog Django. Think this is bad? It looks worse now, actually - all that shredded trash is, more shredded, wet and muddy and there are lots of holes. ≡ Click to see image ≡
