I'm weird (or maybe a bit mental)
I am so completely and totally content and happy when my house is clean and orderly. It makes me so happy.
We got our tree last weekend. And by Friday it was dead. We went to a cut-your-own place to avoid this and it still died. (It was cheap, I think the place we went to sells trees that are not especially meant to be cut down and kept in a bowl of water) So I obsessed about it all last week as the days saw the tree getting dryer, not taking up water, and the branches drooping. I could hardly think of anything else except the idea of all the needles that would drop on my floor, the possible fire hazard, and how pathetic the darn thing looked. So we went to Target yesterday and bought a fake tree. And I love it. I love that it will always be straight. I love not stressing about watering it. I love that it is the perfect tree shape. I love that it won't drop needles. I love that my cats won't eat it and then barf in the dining room.
Also this weekend I did my annual "toy clean up". This is when I go through and seriously weed out toys to prepare for the incoming ones. I completely cleaned and organized all the toy boxes and baskets. I'm sure no one else notices but I do and it just feels so nice that there is one less source of clutter and mess around for the time being.
I did a lot of other cleaning. The hidden cleaning the people don't really notice like dusting and cleaning floors. And I feel so happy and content. My house feel comfortable and cozy and nice. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. :)

If you want to feel even more satisfied, come over to my place. Cleaning up the tennis ball-sized dog fur clumps is bound to fulfill you!
That sucks about your "real" tree. I hae a 2 foot tall rosemary bush in the shape of a cone. Perfect for the person who lives by themselves.
