Proof in the Clock

proof in the clock declutter in minutes at ASlobComesClean.com

So I’m focusing on my gameroom this month.

I re-arranged the furniture yesterday, hated it . . . and then felt a little annoyed when my kids and husband thought it was wonderful.

I know.  I have issues.

Thanks for all of your encouraging comments on that post.  And for your understanding.  I’m guessing the annoyance came from my desire to wallow in my frustration over it not looking like it did in my head before I started.

Anyway, I thought I’d share this little small-space clean off.

A small clutter-collecting space.

Which this room has waaayyyyy too many of.

School papers.  CDs.  Business cards from the Savvy Blogging Summit (last July).

Who-knows-what-else . . .

This teeny flat surface has it all.

If you look closely, you can see that the time on the clock ends in 55.

Here it is eight minutes later:

Eight minutes.

Wonder what I can do in the next eight minutes today?

I’m linking this up at Money Saving Mom’s Clear out the Clutter linky.

The Room-Rearranging Story Without a Happy Ending

February 9, 2012 By Dana White 22 Comments

112shares 107 0 5Last week, I shared my plan for our office/gameroom/guest room. I LOVED the comments on that post.  They really helped me think through what I wanted to do with that room. The main thing I got from your comments?  Embrace one purpose for the room. Decide on a purpose and go with […]

It Could Happen to Anyone

February 8, 2012 By Dana White 8 Comments

46shares 43 0 3 Sometimes (okay, lots of times), I get a little over-dramatic when I find a mess somewhere that is extra sticky or extra embarrassing. I tend to say things like, “WHY oh WHY do these things happen to ME!?!?!!” I take messes personally. But I’m not taking this mess personally. A little […]

Perfect Birthday Gift for an 8-10 Year Old Boy

February 7, 2012 By Dana White 15 Comments

3shares 2 1 0I wish I was the mom who opened a birthday invitation and immediately wrote the date, time and location on the calendar. Also in that ideal world . . . I would remember (while out running errands the week before) to pick up a gift. A unique one.  An inspired one. An […]

My Menu Plan (LOTS and Lots of Chicken)

February 5, 2012 By Dana White 9 Comments

26shares 26 0 0I didn’t order any Zaycon chicken when it came to town recently because I thought I still had plenty. Then, as I was adding (many) bags of pre-cooked ground beef to my upright freezer, I started to panic when I realized I maybe should have ordered another forty pounds. I was down […]

Profundity Escapes Me

January 30, 2012 By Dana White 3 Comments

3shares 3 0 0Profundity. Yes.  That’s a word.  I just wrote it to see if spell-check would tell me it wasn’t. I have a huge desire to wax profound on this evening that ends the day of my e-book’s birth. But those few pretentious sentences are all I have in me. It’s been a draining […]
