I live in a mess, too, which is impossible for me to clean even if I wanted to because the one causing the MOST mess and never doing ANYTHING to help clean it up is my dad. I just ignore it completely. Fruit rotting in a basket? I don't care. Dishes all crusty? I don't care. I haven't the energy to clean up after myself most days, let alone anyone else, so as long as I'm cleaning up my own messes I feel fine about it. Do you have some space that is just yours, somewhere, that the slobs aren't allowed to go in?
You should print up your list and give it to Greg and Charlotte, adding the bits about Greg thinking your headache was funny and so on. The point form makes the point faster and more clearly than anything else.
I hate the photographing and listing and shipping and stuff. It takes longer than actually making the item to be photographed/listed/shipped. -_- That's why I don't lower my prices. It may only take half an hour to make something, but it takes an HOUR to do all the other things associated with it, and that counts, too. So an hour and a half of labour went into that piece, and I count it all, darn it.
I need to clean off the top of my craft table and get some energy and put together that line of 'economy' items (I'll come up with another name for them but I think I should be able to sell that particular style of stick for $12 a pair, which is about as inexpensive as you can go with sticks). Right now people are freer with their money if the items they're buying are under $15. Even though for most people, the economy has not yet changed their lives in any way. -_- (If people would stop freaking out things would get better a lot faster. Unemployment in Canada isn't even in the high range and yet everyone is freaking out like a bunch of illogical doofuses. Doofii?)
