If you've been following the Quest for a while, you may remember Gina from the series I ran in September on pack rats. For those of you new to the Quest, Gina isn't a pack rat; it's her husband, Matt, who's got a bit of the P-R thing going on, not that I'm one to throw stones here. Anyway. In the original post, I mentioned Matt was adorable, and this is what I mean: he actually arranged for a professional organizer to help Gina purge-and-organize the home office! "Matt doesn't get the organizing thing," Gina wrote me, "but he loves me enough to let me go for it!"
In the meantime, Gina sent me this "before" picture of her basement. Maybe the mask threw me off, but at first I thought she was wearing a hazardous-waste jacket. I've since realized the bright stripes are from the camera flash. As for the mask, I'm not sure if it was needed for health reasons or if its purpose was to protect the innocent. In any case, I can't wait for the "after" photos, as well as the before-and-after pix of the home office makeover. Rock on, Gina!
