possibly the scariest tag ever

okay, so you are supposed to do this tag in "real life" as they say. you aren't supposed to clean up or touch up. lucky me. i have been having a bit of a breakdown lately over the state of our house. thankfully, the other day weston could see the "need" and helped me out. here goes:

1. the laundry roomnot much to say - basic laundry room with a whole lot of laundry to be folded and put away (baskets on the floor). but the best part about our laundry room is the work lamp we use for a light. the overhead light shorts out almost every time you turn the switch on (if you remember my 100 things post, this is also due to the horrible wiring). i was going crazy not having a light in this room, as it is the darkest in our place. one night, weston and his mad jerry-rigging skills came up with this beautiful solution - thank you! thank you! thank you!
2. favorite roomi LOVE to pull our black curtains (aka - sheets) closed and shut out the light all day! only when i'm that tiredbut in all reality, we spend a lot of our time in this room, so it is also a favorite
3. what the kids are doingi can't believe she slept through me taking this picture!!! and she's still asleep!
4. favorite shoesthese are my go-to shoes if i can wear whatever i want - they are super comfy, i love the squishy soles
these are the latest pair i bought, and yes, they are jellies (i have a policy against trends that come around again - if you were alive to wear the trend the first time, you don't get to wear it again . . . i thought these were cute enough to break my policy . . . but just this once)
5. the toiletstandard bathroom that, on the surface, looks really clean . . . but, as dr. kirsi would say, [insert finnish accent] "they are lying to you!" that's for erin g and weston (he came to microbiology with me once and got the full dr. kirsi experience)
6. kitchen sinkjust a few dishes to load
7. the refrigeratorit's probably time again to downsize on the refrigerator door galleryice cream - check. soda - check. cafe rio leftovers - check. the colton family fridge must be fully stocked!
8. self portraiti can't believe i posted this. look how gargantuon (sp?) and crooked my nose is!!! but there's the trusty old snaggletooth, popping out to say hello! (and the photo is quite blurry - weston would be appalled).
9. the closetthis called for 2 pictures. we live in a 3 bdrm apartment and we are packed to the GILLS!!! i have done my best to install shelving anywhere i can possibly put it, so this is our under the stairs closet and it is PACKED - but this picture makes it look completely disorganized - it's bad, but not that badand here is our bedroom closet - for good measure
10. dirtiest roomthis item also called for 2 pictures - of the same room, however. i wanted all you readers to get the full effect that is weston's "organization." we've all heard of, or are fortunate enough to know (but how many are fortunate enough to live with one?) those people who are "organized in their disorganization." keep telling yourselves that. this room is our office/guest room. please, come stay with us, you would get to sleep here. :) i go through periods where i get in and clean this room up and organize it all, and then there are periods where i just give up and shut the door. in this state, i am in one of those periods. i cannot WAIT until we have a house with enough rooms (one day, one day, one day) that i can just say "do with it what you will." until that day . . .
11. dream vacationmy own private island. wouldn't this just be D-I-V-I-N-E? i'm getting relaxed just imagining . . . the photo came from here

i now tag:
kristi, margaret, ashley olsen, heather fa'anunu, brandi, and michelle. (i'll be checking up on you until you do it!)
