I've mentioned before that twice a month I get together with a friend who lives an hour away. We let our kids play, and often help each other out with projects. Sometimes we work on fun things like making Jedi costumes for a birthday party, but other times, like today, we tackle the not-so-fun stuff. The stuff that I rarely can motivate … [Read more...]

"Stuff" is Singular
I'm a grammar lover. I know. Nerd alert! Recently, I read a blog post about stuff. She said something like, "All of that stuff are . . . " It sounded funky, and I knew it was grammatically incorrect. Stuff is. That's the problem. We think of stuff as being plural. The stuff probably does consist of quite a few plural items. … [Read more...]
Building My Housekeeping Emergency Fund
I've mentioned before that we are Dave Ramsey geeks. Our last momentous achievement was building our emergency fund. It took a long time, the adjustment of our thinking, some sacrifices . . . but we reached our goal last May. Now, although we're officially on the next phase where we have our investments going full force again, we've been … [Read more...]

Reasons I Love Making My Bed
I used to be a die-hard what's-the-point-of-making-a-bed-when-you're-going-to-get-back-in-it-that-night advocate. I could argue my point, and feel completely justified. But when I started this deslobification process over a year ago, I began by making my bed. (Almost) every morning. I didn't know why, other than . . . that was what normal people … [Read more...]
A Short Post to Say I’m Not Posting Today
I'm rather surprised to be feeling worse instead of better today, so I'm going to bed. It's a rare day when I have no commitments other than dealing with ring-around-the-toilet, and I've decided that the ring can wait. … [Read more...]
Out of Sick Days
I'm out of sick days. Yesterday, I was full-on sick. I left church early, went to bed, and canceled some activities. Today, I'm feeling better, but far from 100%. Ideally, I probably need to take it easy and get some rest so I could fully recover. It's a great day for watching a movie with my daughter, or going through some papers that … [Read more...]
Quick Job, Quick Post
I didn't have much time today. My choices? Pretend I was doing very important bloggy-stuff on the computer, or see what I could do on another clutter spot in the office. The office . . . which I tend to think is fine because the floor is generally clear and it is so much better than it used to be pre-blog. But which, in truth, has had no … [Read more...]
Waiting for Friday
As someone who rarely (OK, never) thinks to check pockets before doing laundry, I wash my fair share of Kleenex. Therefore, since my bed is the folding spot, I end up with quite a few of those white doo-lollies seen in the bottom right corner of the above picture. Now, for me . . . that picture could totally be an after picture. It's in … [Read more...]
