Actually, I clean out the fridge on a very regular basis, every time I go grocery shopping, which is every 2 weeks.
Invite someone over? Eeeeeeeek!!!! That would put me in panic mode. It would take too long to get the place *presentable* for someone else to come in. The problem is that I'm also a perfectionist, so either it has to be done perfectly, or not at all, no half-*ssed jobs for me.
I treat others FAR better than I ever treat myself.
