I don't wear brown shoes very often. In fact, I must not wear them at all. I didn't even remember that I had some. So while looking through my closet for something to wear with my new brown skirt, I was overly excited to see that I do have brown shoes. So excited that I completely forgot about the news-show-story I saw 10 years ago about … [Read more...]
Thankful For Any Help I Can Get
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for every moment that I have with my little family. For every laugh, every tear, every conversation, every opportunity for a snuggle. The perfect moments, and the imperfect ones. My 4yo daughter decided to clean the bathroom . . . mirror and all . . . with baby wipes. Now I've shown her where the … [Read more...]
Ever Wondered What a Slob Looks Like While Eating Chicken Soup on a Thursday Night?
There is officially no point to this post, other than that I loved the look on my husband's only-a-little-surprised-because-we've-been-married-for-11-years-and-he-knows-I'm-always-up-to-something face when he came home to me glitzed up and stirring soup. I was headed to a dress rehearsal after supper. I guess it's possible that you … [Read more...]
Making Room for Christmas
I cleaned my house today. I . . . had to . . . clean it. I've been milking the "I'm so busy, I'll get back to this deslobification process soon" excuse until it was completely dry. I remember the joy I felt last year when decorating for Christmas. It was a joyful experience because there were uncluttered surfaces to decorate for the first time … [Read more...]
My Love of Boxes
I love boxes. Big ones. Small ones. Flat ones. Deep ones. Oh, the possibilities. Therefore, it's very hard for me to throw away boxes. They're just so . . . . useful!!! When you need a box, you need one that is just the right size for the job. So, it has to be better to keep every box that ever crosses your path, right? But … [Read more...]
My Biggest Slob Fear . . . Or at Least One of Them
My heart pretty much stopped when I glanced at the daybed in my office and saw this little paw sticking out from under a pile. One of my biggest slob-fears is finding something dead in a pile of clutter. Thankfully, this was just one of the feet of the mink stole that was part of my costume for a 1940s era show that I was in last weekend. … [Read more...]
Decorating With Clutter
How did you read the title? Decorating around clutter? Or Using clutter to decorate? I guess the picture could be a little of both. Notice that the beauty of the single streamer causes one's eye to completely miss the stacked DVDs/VHSes. Mmm-hmmm. Notice that the single streamer is held in place by the stacked and colorful … [Read more...]
Change of Plans
No sooner had I written out my plan for getting my home ready for a big Thanksgiving gathering, than I got a call from my mother suggesting that we change plans and have our family dinner at the lake, so that more people could come. My emotions went a little something like this: Uhhh . . . but that wasn't what I had planned. (Read that with … [Read more...]
Two Newly Empty Containers!!!
Today was the day for the much dreaded seasonal-clothing-changeover. I had been putting it off, but was getting pretty tired of digging through the "stored" clothes on a daily basis. I'm sure that tomorrow the weather will be shorts-wearing-sunny, but since Thanksgiving is next week, it's probably not entirely crazy to call it fall. I've been … [Read more...]
