Quick excuse. If I'm going to get a free-but-not-free-because-I-paid-for-this-plane-ticket drink . . . I want one with some calories. Even though I had mostly been avoiding sugary, caffeiney drinks. It makes no sense. I know. See my other (much better) 31 Days of Excuses posts. … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse #4: “But I’m Soooo Tired . . . “
See the dishes? Contrary to what some Normal People would assume, that’s just one day’s worth of dishes. Ish. Rhythms are difficult to maintain on weekends. Weekends when your 9yo does a kids’ triathlon are even more difficult. (See how I casually worked bragging on my kid into this post?) Last Friday night, I was already tired when I … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse #3: But Containers are Expensive . . .
So you know about my love/hate, obsession/phobia, gotta-have-it/get-that-thing-out-of-here-before-my-brain-explodes relationship with storage containers, right? OK. Good. Well, I went from being a Tupperware Lady and having everything I could ever possibly imagine I would need . . . to purging, purging, and purging-some-more … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse #2: “But I Used to be a . . . . “
My former life. That's a great excuse, right? I mean, I've done quite a few different things and had a blast doing all of them. WHAT IF at some point in the future I want to do them again??? Like, I used to be a teacher. I taught high school English for two years and then taught Jr. High Theatre for two years. Then I had babies. And … [Read more...]
(Lame) Excuse #1: “But it’s cool!”
Once upon a time I was a garage-sale-aholic. Dimes and quarters flew from my fingers as fast as I could dig them from the bottom of my purse. The only problem One of the problems with my addiction was that I based many of my purchasing decisions on coolness. If it caught my fancy, I'd grab it. Never stopping to consider whether I … [Read more...]
Master Bedroom Saga: Part 4 (The Dresser . . . Again)
You know the master bedroom is actually done now, right? I'm just holding my breath that it will stay done until I've finished posting this saga . . . I worked like crazy on it for two weeks straight, not taking the time to edit videos or write. Now that I'm writing/editing and sharing . . . I've come to a few places that don't match … [Read more...]
31 Days of . . . (Lame) Excuses
Yep. Lame excuses. That's what I'm committing to write about in October. ALL of October. Like . . . 31 whole days. I enjoyed(ish) doing 31 Days of Details last year, and want to participate again in the 31 day challenge over at The Nester. It didn't take long to come up with this topic. Y'know, since it's an easy one for … [Read more...]
Breaking (Or at Least Pausing) the Clutter Cycle
Me: Hello, class! You: Hello, Ms. Nony! Me: Today I am sharing an object lesson with you. That's right. An Ob-ject Le-sson is a lesson that helps you understand a concept by showing you how that concept works in a different situation. A situation you can see. Do you see the cluttered car in the picture above? You: … [Read more...]
Phantom Laundry (And the Laundry Management Method that is Rocking My World)
What do you see when you look at this picture? A couch? Like . . . just a couch? OK good. That's what I see too. This couch (actually a loveseat) has been invisible, covered in clean laundry for the past ten years. And we bought it ten years ago. Which means I've only rarely seen it not covered in clean laundry. I felt the need … [Read more...]
