In the Gameroom Saga, Amy mentioned in the comments that a rug would help pull the room together. I just happened to have one! And I actually knew where it was! And . . . it had been stored perfectly so I could pull it right out and use it! I should probably mention here that the storing-perfectly wasn't really something I … [Read more...]
What the Grandmas are Talking About
This is what the Grandmas are talking about. Y'know, the well-meaning Grandmas who (when I complain of my messy home) assure me that I'll miss the mess someday? I know their hearts are right and they're speaking out of wisdom gained from experience, but I do doubt that they truly understand what "messy" means to me. I absolutely will … [Read more...]
My New Laundry Tactic
MY new tactic. I'm pretty sure those why-would-anyone-do-it-another-way-when-this-way-makes-sense types have been doing this since the invention of dryers. Once upon a time, I owned quite a collection of laundry baskets. They represented my dreams of an organized laundry system that would make it possible to never have to peek around the … [Read more...]
Ten Things I Learned in our Two Weeks of All Veggies
I'm going to eat a bowl of Cheerios tomorrow morning! If you read last week's menu plan or were part of the dinnertime discussions on my Facebook page last week, perhaps you understand what a big deal that is. Today (Sunday) is the last day of our two-week Crazy Diet/Liver Cleanse/Horrible Thing I Thought Would Never Be Over. For the past … [Read more...]
February Decluttering Update
Oh. One thing I didn't mention in my Gameroom Reveal post yesterday (that might have made a slight difference in the overall look of the room . . . ) was that I emptied the Donate Spot. Yes. I do believe it made a difference. I actually cleared it … [Read more...]
The Big Stuff is Done! (Gameroom Update)
I started out behind on the February Organizing Challenge over at Org Junkie. My first post was written on Feb 2nd, and the challenge started on the first. I feel like everything I did throughout the month for the challenge was a last-minute struggle and was always the minimal amount I could justify doing. And yet, here at the end . . . I'm … [Read more...]
The Desk is GONE(ish)!
A few minutes ago, I headed over to read the rules for the final link-up in the 29 Day Organizing Challenge at Org Junkie. I was in a rather bad mood that I had to hurry and write a post about an unfinished project before this (crazy and busy) month ends in a few hours. I stopped reading after I saw #7. "Your deadline for adding your entry … [Read more...]
Parting at the Half-Way Point
Those are Barbie Valentines. The extra four or five that we didn’t need. I’m overly proud of myself for throwing them in the trash on February 15th. A few weeks ago, I had lunch at a restaurant with my best friend. (Yes, I realize this SEEMS to be a totally unrelated story.) There was a mix-up with the check, and they had to re-do it and … [Read more...]
The Basics are How It’s Done
I'm not perfect. That's pretty obvious, right? Last week, with one day spent at the zoo, two days devoted to prepping for my first speaking engagement, one day out of the house for Bible Study, and the final day of the five-day week spent frantically working on blog stuff . . . . the house got a little crazy. (See how I make it … [Read more...]
