As a chronic re-arranger of my living room, I can justify it when friends make fun because I end up doing a thorough cleaning of the floor, carpet, and under all pieces of furniture as soon as they are moved.

I leave out my 501 movies you must see before you die (or some such title) and my 1001 cocktails books. People seem to love flipping through and confirming that A) they saw some-such movie as was recommended, and B) that they have had some-such exotic drink - or maybe haven't and can I make one for them?

No matter how much I plan and scheme and try really really really really hard, I always scramble to clean off the darn kitchen table. It's in the centre of my apt and it becomes the number one place for everything.

I invite people over for the same reason: gets my arse in gear to clean up the table.

I also like to clean so much and then leave a water glass and maybe a piece of recycling that "hasn't made it to the recycling bin yet". I don't want to scare anyone - I want my guests to be comfortable and feel like they're in a cozy, albeit clean, place.

Does anyone know if the IKEA clock pictured ticks loudly? I just can't stand the noise interfering with silence.

Pretty much the same as most:
1) bag near landing strip at door, keys on hook beside door and coat on coat hanger
2) greet kitty at door and ask kitty what she did today
3) proceed to have conversation with kitty cuz she's important, too
4) I don't just stop at washing my hands. I go for the face and brush my hair, too - nothing feels better!
5) glad to see a lot of people change into their comfy clothes and schlep about
6) I work nights, so a nightcap is in order and then I unpack my lunch bag, plug in my mp3 to power-up (if I remember)
7) maybe read or watch an internet show
