I started doing some random decluttering this morning, and ended up very happy with big results. I began by moving some glass goblets that I had purchased at the Dollar Tree a while back because I "didn't have any nice glasses to use with my formal china." I learned this three Thanksgivings ago when we used our formal china for the first and … [Read more...]

I’m not Disabled
My thumb hurts. Really bad. With the dry weather, my skin is cracking and this place on my thumb is split open, bleeding, and painful. But I'm not disabled. You just don't think about how much you use your thumb. I feel like I'm hitting it on everything. Trying to take notes at Bible study this morning, I had to hold my pen funny to be able to … [Read more...]
Finding Places . . . . for EVERYthing?
Did I really say I would find a place for EVERYthing? In my house, everything is a lot of stuff. I guess that's the point.

Spots which at one point I thought were good places for those totally-random-items that don't have any other place to … [Read more...]
I Made My Own Dance Floor . . . . Seriously!!!
I have dreams of tap-dancing. When I was in college, I was in Nunsense which has one tap dance number. For this I learned the time-step, the Buffalo, and a few other simple steps.

Swagbucks Explanation
I'm planning on this only being my top post for about three minutes. Why? Because I despise selling stuff, even though I'm totally not selling anything with this. It just feels that way. Maybe someday I'll share about the world's worst summer job that scarred me for life. Anyway, my main post that I'm going to write today is about a project … [Read more...]
Budget, Meals, and More
I'm enjoying the challenge of eating from our pantry and limiting my grocery/household spending to 50 in cash per week this month. Being a natural cheapskate, I get quite a rush at coming in right on budget. In the store this week I walked around and got what I needed. Then I picked up what I assumed we needed, like bread, and bacon that was a … [Read more...]
