Maybe I should start out with what inversely proportional is - it has been a long time since math classes for most of my friends/family/fellow bloggers out there.
Inversely proportional:
Changing oppositely by same factor - involving a mathematical relationship in which an increase in one variable by a given factor brings about a decrease by the same factor in another
A relationship between two variables in which the product is a constant. When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged.
If b is inversely proportional to a, the equation is of the form b = k/a (where k is a constant).
Ok, have I lost you (I've bored you to death, right!?)? You didn't know you'd have a vocabulary and/or math lesson today, did you?
Anyway, it seems my house is doomed to be inversely proportional... When the laundry gets cleaner, the kitchen table gets cluttered. When the kitchen table gets cleared off, the counters somehow now need cleaning. When the counters are clean, the living room looks like it has been hit by a silent tornado. Why is that? Can't it just ALL be clean and free of clutter? Arrr.
