Closet Case.
Posted By AmyD. on May 14, 2008
It’s official… I’ve lost my mind. I’m trying to make my house feng shui friendly. I’m starting with getting rid of all the clutter and crap that is just completely unnecessary. So, I gutted my closet, donated tons of things that my ginormous ass cannot fit into anymore I just don’t wear anymore, threw away stacks of catalogs, etc.
I know! I know! You know I’m serious when the catalogs go!
Of course, clearing out all the clutter is supposed reduce stress, invite more positive energy, and help the atmosphere to be lighter. So far, all I have done is my closet and I am seriously considering moving into it!
As it turns out, I’ve invited something with the change in energy. I wonder if there is a “farm” corner on the feng shui map because all I seem to be collecting are animals.
Let me give you a quickie run down on the residents in the house:
Dog – Zander
Fish – Only one named, really… that’s Lucky. And, it’s a long story. There are actually 9, total.
Chinchilla – Sophie
Cat – Molly, she’s the antisocial, psychopath shy type.
Cat – Liza Jane
Chickens – Kodak, something and uh… Bitsy. I hope.
Mouse – Yes, a mouse. No name yet, it’s a she. I’m really pushing for Gorgonzola or Feta.
Birds – two male parakeets. They were my MIL’s but she can’t have them anymore (health reasons).
I wanted to name them Albert and Armand after Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in The Birdcage.
Will and Jack? Nope.
Mike likes Felix and Oscar, but I really prefer Dick and Fritz. Dick, the darker bird, is pretty pissy. Fritz, well, that name just suits him, I think. We’ll see how it turns out…
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go clean out some more closets. One of these damn things has got to be attached to something other than animals!

A mouse?
A MOUSE!?!?!
An actual MOUSE?!?!?!?
If you weren’t married, you’d become the crazy animal lady!
I know this probably comes from me reading WAAAAY too many true crime blogs, but how about Leopold & Loeb? Parakeets, they can be pretty nuts, right?
how did we stumble upon a mouse? is this something you spotted in your gardens outside and brought lovingly into your home? do i need to do an intervention?!
Well, even if you are at the end of your rope, you are still a very funny lady.
Thanks for the laugh. :rotflmao: :thanks:

Gouda would be a good mouse name. Or Brie!
I’m not sure, but it is looking like you have cleaned up a little past the closets.

Britt Nope, a small, animated character that is the head of a greedy corporation that feeds of the joy of young children.
Avi This is sadly true.
Cranky Amy Not bad… not bad at all. I can’t figure out why my family thinks Dick and Fritz is in such poor taste.
Crys That is a long story. But, I swear, it is fully domesticated and purchased from PetSmart.
Beamer At least someone is laughing.
Crazy Lady I LOVE Brie… I’m going to start pushing for Brie!
Beamer Yes, indeed. Still working on it though… lots of glitches.
Rats are better so i’m told. sheesh.
Also in the cleaning frenzy only one problem haven’t the energy to clean yet, but when I do those dust bunnies will be damned!
You know what your home needs? Lots and lots of pictures of me.
I’ll send you some…
