I do believe that I live a life of irony. At least more than normal people do. I can rarely answer any question with a one word answer. There's always some reason for an extra-long explanation. But maybe . . . sometimes . . . I'm being a little overly dramatic. Perhaps I have a bit of a martyr complex. I mentioned on facebook the other … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – Back on Weight Watchers
I re-joined Weight Watchers last week. This time I'm trying the online version. I'm doing it because it worked very well for me for quite a while, and when I stopped doing it, I gained back 2/3 of the weight I had lost after keeping it off for almost two years. And I'm tired of my clothes not fitting. I'm a little scared that I won't do … [Read more...]
Time for the March Decluttering Update!
I could easily have had a garage sale. JUST with the stuff I decluttered this month. See that pile waiting for the Magical Donation Truck to come pick it up? That's nothin'. I also hauled away at least five back-of-the-Suburban-fulls of stuff. My house feels lighter. There are some months when my heart sinks to go back and check my … [Read more...]
Ultimate Blog Party ’11
I'm joining in the Ultimate Blog Party over at 5 Minutes for Mom. Here's a basic summary of what A Slob Comes Clean is all about: I started my blog on the first day of school, in August '09, because: I'm a slob. I was sick of being a slob, and tired of feeling helpless to change. I had STUFF, way too much, and needed something to keep … [Read more...]
A Thirty Minute Project
I have proof on this one. This week is crazy with Princess Party Prep, but I've been hitting hot spots between castle-drawing and tiara-buying. You may recognize this spot. I've decluttered it before. And it stayed in good shape for quite a while. But then I let some clutter creep in, and soon it became invisible again. I took this … [Read more...]
An Artist Who "Gets It"
First, let me remind you that Friday is April 1st. Yeah. It is. No foolin’. I’d love for you to join in the monthly Decluttering Update for March. I’ll put it up with the linky on Thursday night at 9 p.m. Central. You can write a post about your progress (or your lack of progress), or share in the comments. It really is exciting to put into … [Read more...]
A Back to the Future Moment
I have a question. What do YOU do with all of your wigs? You know, the ones you wouldn't wear on a normal day? Oh. You don't have any wigs? Hmmm. Okaaaay. Well, it's a real issue for me. I can justify keeping the wigs that are modern and fun in the master bedroom. But if I also kept my classic pin-curled ones in there, it might … [Read more...]
I’m Totally Shelf-Obsessed
Deciding on the perfect shelf for my daughter's room led to a re-arranging/moving/exhausting-switching-out of shelving units all over the house. I LOVE shelves. Seriously. They are my weakness. Somehow, I've arrived at a point where I can accept that little containers will not solve my slob-problems, and that they'll just end up as clutter … [Read more...]
My Little Girl’s Room Is Organized . . . Am I on a Roll Here?
I shared on Friday that after being so proud of myself for organizing the garage, I ended up in a funk when the very next day, a desperate search for tap shoes made me unable to deny that my daughter's room had . . . once again . . . ended up in a state of chaos. Bigtime chaos. Such bigtime chaos and such a bigtime funk that I didn't even … [Read more...]
