What I Want for Christmas – A Key Finder

What I Want for Christmas -- A Key Finder at ASlobComesClean.com

Yesterday, I saw this Amazon promotion  (Sorry, this offer has now expired.)  where you share what you want for Christmas (on Facebook), and then you get $5 off a $25 purchase.

I couldn’t think of anything I wanted. 

Then, I lamented on my Facebook page about my still-lost-after-almost-24-hours keys. Among the mostly understanding comments, someone mentioned a remote/beepy thing they had that helped them find lost keys.

I looked it up . . . and immediately knew what I wanted for Christmas.  (Unfortunately, the 5-off-25 didn’t apply since it’s only for things sold and shipped by Amazon.)

I have a handy-dandy wall hook for our keys, but when this distractable mind gets at its most distracted on weeks like this one . . . the keys never seem to end up there.

Oh.  And I also took the “Whoever finds my keys gets a dollar!” advice you shared on Facebook!

That was money well spent.

Decluttering an OLD T-shirt (12 Days of Decluttering)

December 5, 2012 By Dana White 7 Comments

86shares 42 0 44 Whew. This has been (as expected) one crazy week.  But that still-mostly-empty box keeps staring at me, so I’m trying to add to it a little at a time. Today, I threw in an old t-shirt. A very old t-shirt. A t-shirt that is half-of-three-decades old. Which, somehow . . . sounds […]

Random Thoughts Tuesday

45shares 36 0 9It’s Tuesday. And last Tuesday, I met Stacy of Stacy Uncorked who hosts Random Thoughts Tuesday. And last night, I wrote an entire post that was eaten by the internet.  And I didn’t like it enough to justify re-writing it. So when I saw that Stacy had put up her Random Thoughts […]

Twelve Days of Decluttering

December 2, 2012 By Dana White 4 Comments

966shares 629 0 337   How in the world did December already happen? The past two weeks have been crazy around here, and the next few promise to be pretty wild as well. Our church’s big Christmas production (which I wrote and am directing) starts Friday night, so blogging will likely take a backburner to […]

Planning to Be Desperate

November 30, 2012 By Dana White 49 Comments

1.2Kshares 1.2K 2 25 Several years ago, I read about someone making the decision to immediately throw away any pen that didn’t write.  Sounds logical.  I was relieved to know that an otherwise normal-seeming person struggled with this, and I determined to do it too. As someone who was forever finding and then re-finding pens […]

Laundry Day Loopholes

November 26, 2012 By Dana White 6 Comments

87shares 66 0 21I love cleaning routine loopholes. Love them, as in I use them at every possible opportunity. Don’t love them for what they do to my house in the long run. Like this: Fine.  These loopholes are pretty much excuses. But most are so legit as REASONS that it’s easy to justify them.  […]

Ugh. Time to Cook Again.

28shares 5 0 23We’ve been well/over fed for the past week on our cruise, but it’s time to get back to real life. Sort of. On Tuesday, I’m heading up north for a few days with Maytag, so this menu plan is mostly to keep my family alive while I’m gone and to ensure there […]
