Here it is. My big decluttering/organizing/cleaning project of the week: I cleaned off the dining room table. Perhaps you are thinking, "Ummmm, haven't you done that before? Like . . . a hundred times? And written a hundred posts about it?" Yes. Yes, I have. Yet it continually returns to slob-blogger-post-worthy … [Read more...]
My Accomplishments for the Day – And the Giveaway Winner
Ummmmm. Let's see. Hmmmmm. Well, five real-life people had clothes to wear and food to eat. I'll think about that instead of the clutter strewn all over the living room floor. It's been a crazy day, and I've got nothing. Oh, and the winner of the Home-Ec 101 book giveaway is Merideth of: in pursuit of hermitude. I emailed you a … [Read more...]
How I Fix the A/C on My Suburban
Fix. Not fixed. I have no idea which verb tense that would be, but it's the one that means something happens more than once. Over and over. Last year, when we bought our 13 year old Suburban, the weather was nice. Although we turned on the air, it didn't have to work very hard. A month or so later, when I needed it to work hard, I … [Read more...]
Opposite Ends of the Adaptability Spectrum
You'd think I was going to write about two different people who are on opposite ends of the adaptability spectrum. Nope. Just one person. Me. I'm on both ends. Lately, I've been whining about analyzing the effects of changes in my routine. My brain and body seem to physically resist the changes I'm forced to make. And yet . . . … [Read more...]
We Emptied the Trash Can . . . I Mean, Cleaned Out the Suburban
That’s Hubby and me. Pre-blog, that’s the reaction we always had when I’d say “I really think we should keep it this way!” after cleaning out the master bedroom, the garage, the living room, the closet . . . whatever. We rarely react that way anymore. This deslobification process is working, and even though my kitchen sink is currently full … [Read more...]
Menu Plan – 4-25-11
I didn’t do a menu plan last week. Actually, I did, But I didn’t post it. It wasn’t an oversight. I was a little embarrassed to put our meal-plan out there for the entire world to see. Mostly because we were at the end of the month’s grocery budget and I was determined to use up what was in the freezer and the pantry. Mostly casseroles … [Read more...]
It’s Friday!!!
Actually, it's Good Friday, and we've had a wonderful family day since the boys and hubby were out of school. We went to a nearby historical village, and my 7yo kept saying it was "like a field-trip, but even better because we're with our family!" Ummmm, music to this mommy's heart. Now that we're home I thought I'd do a quick update and … [Read more...]

Extra Touches or Just Part of the Job?
I've mentioned that I'm not a fan of change. With change, there's generally upheaval. And busy-ness. All of those things get my excuse-juices flowing. Freely. I can come up with some doozies. As I made supper yesterday, shuffling pots and moving bags and generally rearranging clutter so I could have a space in which to work, I … [Read more...]
