Half-Assed Homemaker

Preparing to have people over seems to motivate me to get going on projects that I want to get to. I have meant to make this for a while. Sometimes, I'd rather attack a project than find a hiding place for the materials sitting around. The time constraint makes me create a simpler approach. The procrastination is usually caused by complexity. If the project is daunting, I won't want to get to it. But when I am motivated to do it fast, I'll create a super-awesome simple approach and love it!
