I WISH, I'd love to tell her, and Aggie McKenzie too, how much their show has changed my life. I didn't realize how much the dirt, mess, and chaos in my apartment was hindering my ability to move forward in OTHER areas in my life. I'd just procrastinate on everything2000 else, because I already knew deep down inside I needed to tend to my apartment before anything else. But I just blocked out the mess, and would keep trying to pursue other things in vain. That's until one day when I saw "How Clean Is Your House?" and kept watching and watching. And the message finally smacked me over the head "You need to take care of this. This is like a huge log in the middle of the road to the rest of your life."
My apartment was reflecting my soul. Inside I was depressed, chaotic, and "a mess." In my first year of living on my own, around age 18-19, my apartment could very well have been one of the garbage dump houses on Kim and Aggie's show.
Seriously.
It improved some as I got older, but not much. (After a couple years, it got to where I at least kept things off the floor, for instance. But there were still piles of stuff everywhere and tons of dirt and grime.)
Obviously I didn't have the luxury of a little cleaning crew to come into my apartment and sort things out for me, but it was a New Year's resolution this year to take care of it and now I have. I started in December, and with time and determination, I got it done. (And it was overwhelming at first.) It's May now and for the first time in my adult life, everything is in order, I clean regularly. In fact I've dusted my apartment more times this year than I've done in the last 3 1/2 years I've lived here. I don't feel closed in anymore. I can open my door wide when someone knocks and say "come on in" with no shame.
I would definitely love to thank them someday.
