picture of the week

so i've been waiting all week to get a good picture for my picture of the week, and still hadn't found one. we were supposed to go out today and get some stuff from the bath & body works sale at the mall, and i was going to continue to look for a good picture... but i woke up feeling like crap. however, i did take a pretty memorable picture last night...

when dave & linda got us our digital camera, they requested pictures of our apartment. well, our apartment has been an atrocious mess since before christmas. i've been trying to systematically clean the place, room by room, since then. i started with the kitchen and the bathroom because... well, those are disgusting if they're not cleaned regularly. right now, the kitchen is back to being messy, but we'll fix that pretty soon.

last night, though, i finally tackled the living room. it's been a hard one since we had the christmas tree up until last week, and boxes of christmas decorations piled up wherever convenient besides that. but last night i just put my mind to it and got it all cleaned up. i worked for a while on the bedroom, but ian needs to clean off his desk, i can't do that. but here is a rare picture of my living room, actually clean:
