It's time to go again...

I know that I haven't written in a while and quite frankly that's because I just forgot about my project.

But I want to try again and one thing I've learned is that there is nothing wrong with that.

I think what I need is a "Get it Together" Project as opposed to the a Happiness Project but, you know, I kind of think they are the same thing.  I'm just going to do it.  I am going to hop right in to getting myself back on track.  I'm going to work on eating better and getting fit, just like I did in January.

This is the third Sunday in a row that I have cleaned the whole house in an afternoon.  That is one of the things I love about my house.  It's so small that a couple of hours is enough to get it clean.  The first week I did it was Labor Day (so technically not a Sunday).  After a weekend of partying, Matt and I laid down to nap.  I got up and cleaned the house and he still didn't want to get up so I sat down with some movies.  Throughout the week, I tend to build up a collection of movies from the library.  That first week I watched Tangled, Season of the Witch, and Crazy Stupid Love.  Last Sunday I cleaned after getting home from a bridal shower while Matt was celebrating his father's birthday.  When I was done, he wasn't home yet.  I watched You Again and Wild Hearts Can't be Broken.  This week I have Rango, Charlie St. Cloud, Book of Love, and Peacock.

I rarely let myself just sit in front of the television and there are a lot of things I want to see that Matt DOES NOT want to see.  Usually, I just figure it's not worth the battle.  These past couple of weeks have been really nice though.  I love having the house clean for the week.  Usually I spend my mornings and lunch hours cleaning and it never seems to get done.  Finishing it all on one day has been nice.  I don't know that it's actually saved me any time during the week but it has made me feel a bit less stressed.  I like that I have been rewarding myself, too.  I can play games on the computer and look at Pinterest and work on crafts and catch up on movies.  And that feels great!

Sometimes I think that a clean house makes me happy and sometimes I think that a clean house is a sign of happiness. What do you think about cleanliness and happiness?
