Three Things I Pitched This Week

October 24, 2013 By Dana White 23 Comments

Three Things I Pitched This Week Decluttering at ASlobComesClean.com

 

I could write an angst-filled post about each one of these, but I’ll spare you. They’re all things that OBviously needed to go, but still caused me to hes . . . i . . . tate before I decided to throw them in the trash.

Broken kitchen scissors.

Broken Kitchen Scissors at ASlobComesClean.com

I love my kitchen scissors, but as I trimmed my 40 lbs of chicken, they snapped. Thankfully, I was at about pound 36 when it happened. I bravely tried to keep using them, but couldn’t.

Good-bye sweet scissors, I’ll miss you. (But I’ll totally replace you.)

A reusable cup (with lid!!) that I liked to take to the gym.

Icky Cup ASlobComesClean.com

It’s pretty icky when water gets between the layers of insulating plastic.

Good-bye. I might think of you, but I do have other gym-cups to ease the pain.

Odd socks that have been coming through the laundry every week. You’re nasty and no-longer-white, so I have to guess whether you’ve even been worn.

Good riddance. You won’t be missed.

What have you pitched this week?

Do it Now or Do it Later

October 23, 2013 By Dana White 9 Comments

I’m pretty sure “Do it Now or Do it Later” was a phrase my mother said to me as a child. So I guess I should give up on the dream that my children will take all of my motherly advice to heart and avoid life’s struggles. The phrase came to my head on Sunday […]

Creating a New Comfort Zone

October 22, 2013 By Dana White 10 Comments

  I haven’t written much about the fact that . . . . I have worked out (like, at a gym and EVERYthing) at least three days a week for eight weeks now. It’s the ninth week, and I’ve already done two days. I’m proud of myself, but I’m petrified that the minute I write […]

Wasting Time Because I Tried to Save It

October 21, 2013 By Dana White 14 Comments

I vaguely remember thinking I did not have time to put the red lid back on the soap-dispensing scrubber that had somehow come apart. I’m sure it made more sense to me to wait until later. To do it when I was dealing with sink-stuff anyway. That would be more efficient, right? As usual with […]

Nony Starts Using Grown-Up Glasses (And Declutters Her Kitchen Cabinet in a Webisode)

October 20, 2013 By Dana White 19 Comments

Oh, the layers of procrastination that exist in this project. First, I received a lovely set of glasses for Christmas. In 2012. They were beautiful, appreciated, and perfect. And they sat in the bottom of my kitchen pantry for the next eight months . . . In the box. Even though I was glad to […]

How to Keep a Book’s Binding from Breaking

October 18, 2013 By Dana White 36 Comments

Hmmm. That title is a mouthful. There are some things my husband has taught me, and some things that I have taught him. Marriage helps you see firsthand that not everyone’s mama teaches her kids the exact same stuff. When my husband lamented that chunks of pages were falling out of a fairly new (and […]

Smarter

October 17, 2013 By Dana White 13 Comments

I’ve been debating with myself over this post. I’m not sure if I’ll actually finish it, or if it will sit in “Drafts” like some others do. If you’re reading it, then I published it, and you’d better be ready for some pretentious, likely-delusional self-examination. This is mostly about me, but it’s something I realized […]
