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...]
My New Perspective on an Old Struggle
Things have been crazy for the last week. I'm currently directing a play that opens the week after Thanksgiving, and I was in another show yesterday, with three performances in one day. Neither are/were as huge of a commitment as they could be, but they're as much as I can handle in this being-a-mama-is-my-number-one-priority phase of … [Read more...]
WHERE did I put that (Fill In the Blank)?
I consider myself fairly low-maintenance. I like to look nice, but I keep it simple. My general rule for earrings is that they need to be basic enough that I can wear them with anything. But I have issues with losing things. I was at a friend's house a while back and she got frustrated because she couldn't find something that she had in … [Read more...]
Where I Store Jeans
Notice that the title says "Where I Store Jeans" not "Where to Store Jeans." If anyone needs a pair of jeans, I know just where to look. In the dryer. Because that's where they stay for most of the week. I generally make jeans my last load for Laundry Day. They take longer to dry and so I'm not waiting on them to finish so I can dry … [Read more...]
Working in My Weekly Tasks
I've been considering experimenting with my weekly task schedule. Even though it works well do one major task a day, I'm a little overwhelmed with other commitments right now and had wondered if I could double up some days to give myself a day off here and there. Not a day off for couch-sitting, but a day off for … [Read more...]
