Okay, it seems rather odd, but when Mark's gone I have the compulsion to clean. Not just tidy up, but THROW EVERYTHING AWAY clean... See, Mark has this thing about keeping boxes for electronics that we don't even own anymore! Once I went into our spare room for something and asked him about a VCR box I saw - we haven't had a working VCR in our house for YEARS... just why were we still keeping the box when we'd chucked the VCR years ago? :P

Thus began my quest of throwing out old boxes (I keep the ones for electronics that we currently have - I don't want to get scolded when he returns) ;) and doing major cleaning when he's away. I have it all figured out - there are three trash pick up days between now and when he gets back from Japan... I'm going to take advantage of every single one of them! ;)

Those with pack-rat hubbies like mine will certainly understand this post. ;) I also figure that this will keep me busy so I don't really have time to miss him. :)

Hope you're all having a nice week! Big HUGS to everyone!
