got the same kind of hubby--i found a flaw in his philosophy, though. if everything was supposed to be perfect, there would be no need for a "junk drawer", and as far as i know, everybody has one, hidden somewhere! he has a couple of them in his workshop. my philosophy is "cleanliness is next to godliness--but around here, it's next to impossible." a perfect house is one that has no soul, no activity. i'll go to my grave as the "clutter queen"--but i'll never wake up wondering what i can do, today!
