But It Doesn’t Bother ME . . .

March 13, 2013 By Dana White 3 Comments

It Doesn't Bother ME . . .

We’ve been having technical difficulties lately while hosting the Sunday evening home group from our church. The study we started is a video series that’s online only.  We thought we were set to go, but ended up having to watch it on my laptop two different times.

As I muttered rude comments about technology and grunted as I unplugged the speakers from our hardly-ever-used-anymore desktop computer, I realized it was time to dust my laptop.

I thought about all those eyes glued to the screen.

And seeing the thick dust covering it.

I knew it was there.  I can’t really blame Slob Vision for this one.  It has bugged me many times when the light hits it just right.  But most of the time, with the screen lit from the back . . . it doesn’t bother me at all.

At least not enough to do more than a finger wipe across the top.  Definitely not enough to get UP and grab something to dust it with.

I mean, I’m busy.

Y’know.  Writing about cleaning and all.

A Toy that Still Isn’t Clutter After a Decade

March 12, 2013 By Dana White 14 Comments

I’m not working for Fisher-Price. I was just reminded again how much I love this toy while I cleaned out our playroom last weekend. We’ve had it since my oldest was barely able to scribble.  He turned 11 in December. The flower-shaped magnets are long gone, but I feel no angst when I run across […]

Master Bedroom Saga

Simplifying My Bathroom Counter (and Purging OLD Skin Care Products)

March 7, 2013 By Dana White

I consider myself fairly non-fru-fru. (Fru-fru is a southern term that means “spending lots of time primping in front of a mirror” or . . . whatever else you need it to mean.) Yet somehow, when it was time to put away my new beauty products from Seventh Generation, my eyes were opened. I suddenly […]

When Convenience Becomes Inconvenient

March 5, 2013 By Dana White 15 Comments

I have the world’s greatest garbage disposal.  And he’s cute too. My husband is the most awesome leftover eater ever.  That man will eat food days past the point when I would never touch it. You may be grossed out and you may worry about his health. It’s OK.  I understand. I used to worry […]

Great (but Scary) Tool for Scraping Cooked-On Gunk

March 4, 2013 By Dana White 30 Comments

Is gunk a real word? Well, I guess it is. Since Firefox didn’t put a red squiggly line under it. This tool scares me. Honestly, I never would have used it if I didn’t take that trip to the Maytag headquarters last fall. The Queen of all Kitchen Knowledge told us to use this tool, […]

Decluttering the Boys’ Room

March 3, 2013 By Dana White 16 Comments

  In early January, I decluttered my boys’ room. (Click through to the post if you’re reading via email and can’t see the video!) It’s March, and I’m just now writing the post.  The good news is that I can say with confidence that the rather extreme measures I took have had a lasting, positive […]

Meet Tina of Girl Meets Globe

March 1, 2013 By Dana White 1 Comment

I’m glad to say I got everything done that was pressing on me this week. I figured out taxes and caught up on several drama-writing-related obligations. I’m not glad to say that today I don’t feel so great.  I had big plans of writing a decluttering post about my boys’ room, but that will have […]

The Sixteen Year Old Me Would Be Horrified . . .

February 27, 2013 By Dana White 9 Comments

I remember myself as a delightful teenager. I suppose it is possible . . . though . . . that I wasn’t. A still-dear friend once told me (years after high school) that she kept a journal of what she wore to church each week.  She did this out of fear.  She had heard me […]
