Far from Perfect

October 30, 2009 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I had a friend over for lunch yesterday. I thought it was supposed to be today, but then I got an email from her on Wed. night asking if we were still on for "tomorrow." Uh, sure! Yesterday and today were both equally fully scheduled, so it really didn't matter. And hey, I'm so much less paranoid about the dreaded doorbell. The problem? … [Read more...]

Can a Slob Handle Coupons?

October 30, 2009 By Dana White | 14 Comments

I've mentioned before that I do love me some coupons. It's coupons that first introduced me to Blogworld, so I sort of assume that most Blogworldians love them too. I very well may be wrong, though, as I'm learning that there are so many different varieties of blogs. Anyway, I love coupons. They have totally changed my way of shopping in the … [Read more...]

What change has made the biggest impact?

October 28, 2009 By Dana White | 9 Comments

I'm writing this for Works for Me Wednesday. I was thinking about this last week when I wrote about something else. I asked myself what about this "coming clean" process really works for me?   I would generally say that the process itself does. But the one thing that makes the biggest impact would have to be getting up earlier than … [Read more...]

Daily Checklist – Fitting in the Tasks

October 28, 2009 By Dana White | Leave a Comment

I've mentioned before that I'm a "theatre person." This is how I describe myself since I'm not currently doing much in that area. Little things here and there at the church keep me generally satisfied. But I've had this random opportunity to do a variety show in a real theatre with other real "theatre people" and I'm so excited. I've chosen not … [Read more...]

Obnoxious title, I know. But I'M DONE!!!!!! I have officially gone back over every square inch of the walls in my office and removed the ever-so-lovely teeny tiny bits of wallpaper and then gone back over them again with the scrubby side of a sponge, and then gone back over them again with the sponge side of the sponge.
