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...]
Considering a New Label for Myself
Labels. Some are good and some bad. While I don't like being labeled, sometimes labeling myself is a good thing. Call me a slob? Them's fightin' words. But deciding to call myself a slob? That has been very freeing. If someone else called me that, I would wonder what they meant. Are they calling me lazy? Inept? Gross? But … [Read more...]
Blogging Goals for 2011
It's that time of year for goal setting. I've been thinking about goals/resolutions/whatever-you-want-to-call-them in the area of my deslobification process, and I'll be sharing those in the next few days. But of course, I'm also thinking about my blogging goals. And since Savvy Blogging is hosting a blogging goals linky, I thought I would go … [Read more...]
Sausage Strudel Bites – Ultra Easy Brunch Recipe
This year, I made these sausage strudel bites for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, Christmas morning . . . and I may just make them again on New Year's morning. They're that good. So easy to make ahead and then bake just before eating. And oh my word, they taste fabulous. Whenever hubby needs to take something for a … [Read more...]
Solving the Messy Bedroom Mystery
Solving. Not "I solved." Definitely not "How to Solve." I've been thinking about this post for at least a week, but it was going to be "Solving the Messy Master Bedroom Mystery." But then, today, in preparation for my 9yo's slumber party tomorrow night, we tackled the boys' room. Oh my. I know/knew that their room was a disaster. … [Read more...]
