This goes along with my post from last week. Actually, I took the pictures on the same night. See . . . in my mind there's doing the dishes. And then there's doing the big dishes. For some reason, they're two separate things. Even though they're not. Because even if I "do the dishes" but I leave the colander and the baking … [Read more...]
No Excuse to Not Help Raise Money for Cancer Research!
I really love working with the North Texas Chevy Dealers as a Chevy Girl. All of their promotions are fun and easy to blog about. But this one is easiest of all because it's for an important cause. And they have helped eliminate any and all excuses to not help! October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer runs in my family. … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse: “But it’s a Hassle . . . “
When my oldest was between the ages of 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 (I know because we were living in our rent house), he came to me with some exciting news. He had figured out something cool. Something that would surely be a new and exciting revelation to his mother. Because he knew, for a fact . . . that this was something I did not know. He had … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse: “But No One Will Go in THAT Room . . . “
Crazy day today. My appliances are being delivered!!! To say I'm excited is an understatement. I had a hard time sleeping last night. The delivery was scheduled for 8 a.m. and yesterday was my busiest day of the week. And I was out of town last week. And Monday was spent with my family on their day off from school. And Tuesday I … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse: “It’s Just One Hanger . . . “
One hanger on the floor doesn't bother me. Twenty-five hangers on the floor do bother me. 2, 8, 16 or 24 hangers . . . somehow I don't see those. I used to think I didn't see the first one, but I've realized that I do see it. I see it and think, "One hanger isn't worth my time. The room still looks pretty good. I'll just need to … [Read more...]
Decluttering: The Master Bedroom Saga Part Five (Getting EVERYthing Out!)
Part five was on day three. Which shows how big this project really was. (If you're reading by email, click here to see the webisode.) In my journal, I wrote: Yesterday helped me see that it IS possible to get through this project.But today, I struggle with the donwannas. This work is physical. It’s August, and so even though I … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse #7: But I Missed a Day . . .
I didn't post yesterday. It was only the seventh day of October, and I already failed in this 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses thing. I could quit. But I won't. Failure and quitting aren't the same thing. I can't go back in time and write a post for yesterday. Technically, the challenge to post every day in October hasn't been met. But … [Read more...]
Chicago Cutlery Knives (And my Ultra-Easy Guacamole “Recipe”)
I think it's time. Finally. It's time to carefully pack up most of my old knives for the donation truck. I'll need to write on the package: "Dear Mr./Ms. Donation Picker Upper, Please be careful because there are knives in this package. They're not terribly sharp, but I thought I'd let you know." I've been using my … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse #6: But I Have to Bring Them SOMEthing
I have to bring them something, right? I've been at the Savvy Blogging Summit for four nights. And I miss my kids. And I want them to be sooooo glad I'm home. They would really like this stuffed dragon . . . for about 2.5 seconds. But I gave it to Lacy from Catholic Icing. Because she has four kids younger than mine and now she has … [Read more...]
