Dear Dear Diary
Monday, September 17, 2007
Just did a poll for Harris Polls, and they wanted to know how I decorate my home. They wanted to know if I went for "English Country", "French Country," "Americana Rustic", "Urban", or Art Deco, or a bunch of other styles. I looked in vain for "Early Garage Sale" or "Cat Hair Friendly" or "Animal prints with panelling" but these didn't seem to be options. Nor was there a choice for "Post Stash Enhancement".
Of course, the poll got an awful lot shorter when I confessed to never ever watching home improvement shows like This Old House, or "Piss Off Your Neighbors" (aka Trading Spaces). And they did want to know what kind of floors I have- concrete surprisingly wasn't an option, nor was several years' old grotty carpet the cats and dogs have peed on for years.
It's not that I am a terrible housekeeper- although I am, but Jazz keeps a nice house-- but really there weren't any pet friendly options at all, and most of the poll was taken up by several moodily lit sets of wall hooks. Which oddly, I've only bought a couple for hanging up of bathrobes on the back of the door. I have a good one my father made for me, which I wanted as a hat rack, but the pegs are too close together to put hats on, and we never nailed it to the wall sturdily enough to put coats on.
It was just strange enough I felt moved to share.

Comments:
Our house is decorated in "Early Corrugated Cardboard." Every time The Husband gets in a shipment of computer parts, or when I get books, the cats take over the shipping boxes and we're too wimpy to take their playhouses away...
In any event, just remember that Dull Women Keep Immaculate Houses.
