Warning: This post may will contain excessive levels of cynicism, complaining, and irrational thought. While I wore my fair share of friendship bracelets, and tight-rolled my jeans with flair, I am generally able to resist peer pressure. In fact, when I feel pressured to do something, but haven't had time to decide for myself that it's … [Read more...]
Freeing Myself from the Stress of a Good Thing
I wasn't going to link up to Works for Me Wednesday today. I've been sharing my short-term plans that will hopefully have long-term benefits in 2011 this week, so I didn't feel like I had anything that was proven to share as a tip. But then, I saw that the theme this week is what doesn't work. I can do that. And I can do that with a post … [Read more...]
I’m Guest Posting over at Mama’s Laundry Talk!
Just wanted to let you know that Lauren from Mama's Laundry Talk is running a post about my all-in-one-day laundry routine today. If you haven't been over there, you should go check her out. I liked Lauren from the first time I read her site, and then when I met her in person last summer at the Savvy Blogging Summit, I liked her even more. She … [Read more...]
Daily vs. Weekly Tasks – When I Just Don’t Have Time for Both
I've been feeling overwhelmed for the majority of this year. This year being . . . . 2011. Which is less than 4 days old. Anyway, I'm in Haphazard Holiday Recovery Mode. The house was kept in a far-from-perfect-but-livable state for most of the holiday time. But then, yesterday was laundry day, and there was extra laundry because of the … [Read more...]
The Eight-Letter "O" Word . . .
Any guesses on the "O" word? No, not "operates." Not "optimism." Definitely not "octopus." (Partly because it's only 7 letters.) "Organize." Ugh. Now let me make it clear that I am NOT saying it is my New Year's Resolution to "Get Organized!" In fact, I've decided not to make any resolutions at all. Because even though I … [Read more...]
Ten Workout Videos/DVDs I’ve Tried
OK, this is officially a Top Ten Post. I started jotting down a list of ten workout DVDs I've purchased and tried. I thought I might have to think pretty hard to come up with ten. Ummm, not so much. I came up with more than ten and had to take a few out. This might give another dimension of explanation to my personality. You know, not … [Read more...]
My To Do List for Week One of 2011 – NOT a Resolution
I'm not making resolutions this year. Day by day, step by step, conscious decision by conscious decision. That's the only way I've found to make progress in this deslobification thing I'm doing. So rather than share a bunch of "Imgonnas" for the entire year, I'll share a few "I'm going tos" for this week. Some will hopefully affect the … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – First Week of My New and Improved Routine
It's officially 2011. Ummmm, how exactly did that happen? I've been in-my-head-blogging all day about starting off the year right, the adjustments I'll be making to my routine, etc. But I can't forget the important building block for all of that . . . a menu plan. So before I get into philosophy and deep thoughts and renewed … [Read more...]
2010 Blog Recap – A Fun Exercise
I saw that one of my favorite always-honest-and-very-funny blogger friends, Mary at Giving Up on Perfect was participating in a 2010 Recap Carnival over at Musings of a Housewife. The idea is to share the first lines of your first post from each month. Hmmm. I went to January, and saw that what I thought was my first post of the year was … [Read more...]
