okay, hi! i'm rachel. and you are watching the first video of whati hope to be a series of many videos about my process of going from a very unorganizedperson - which i am - to a hopefully very organized put together person, which i amnot. and so i'm kind of treating this first videoas just a...like a confession. i'm a messy person. i'm rachel, i'm a messy person. today was an okay day!
today i...i made my bed. and...i got dressed. that's pretty good! yeah... considering i work from home, i didn'thave to get dressed...i got dressed. anyway...as you can see, if those are goodfeats for me, that means i've got a long ways to go. and i'm just going to show you guys my space. i did not prep for this, i didn't clean anythingahead of time, i literally decided about 5 minutes ago, "hey i think i'm going to startshooting a video".
so this is just my raw self. this is just.. real. you know, but even reality tv is like.. it'snot really real...and so, yeah. this is real. this is me. and you're going to see a really messy house. and then i'm going to tell you what i'm doingto make it better. this is my space. we're just going to walk through each roomand you're going to get to see... things like
this. we leave coffee mugs places -- oh, nope that'stea. i'm just going to leave that there again. probably part of the problem. but you can see, you know drawers get leftopen. we just don't care. a box from when we moved four months ago. a tv that doesn't fit in the space... and my house.
and i'm just going to call out some problemareas. this of course is not a problem area... thisis my lovely aquarium. with ponyo. "hi ponyo...!" anyway.. sofa - forever a temporary dog bed. laundry... this could be an office. or a library.
or just a sitting nook. but instead it's a place where we just havea bunch of pictures on the floor. and a plant that i don't know when i wateredit last. it's after christmas, our christmas tree probablyneeds to come down. this is nice...! right? cute little dining area... this is where i've been working! this is my home office.
pretty snazzy! the thing is, i actually have a real office...right there. kitchen actually looks pretty good! typically it's a little messier than this. things like this... we swept, it didn't go back to its home. we made a fire, we don't close stuff... we don't put stuff away. we just don't.
that's just who we are. my daughter's stuff kind of just spewing out. and this is my office.... if it really...youknow, like if i cared. okay. this is my daughter's room. here's a mural i did on the wall. i didn't finish it. but, it's a work in progress. okay!
garbage bags. maybe it's garbage, maybe it's not. i don't know! this is like the mac daddy of all disorganizedplaces. this is actually a four car garage! ...but instead there's just a bunch of stuff. so yeah. so that was my space. we've got a lot of videos to shoot.
a lot of rooms to cover. and i plan on tackling every single one ofthe spaces that i showed. i'm going to be a clean person. that's what i'm doing. and i hope that you will join me. you know, at the very least maybe it willbe a little entertaining or inspiring. i plan on throwing away a lot of stuff. and i plan on.. you know i'm still me, buti plan on being a cleaner me. and here's to trying to do a new thing forthe new year.
thanks and i will see you next time!
