(Lame) Excuse: “But Can’t I Just Be Done Already?”

October 31, 2012 By Dana White | 7 Comments

It's the last day of October, and the last of my posts in this series. Not the last post about a lame excuse, I'm sure. I thought I'd end on a classic.  Not the good kind of classic like I Love Lucy or Jane Eyre.  The "Classic!" that a child of the 80s uses to describe something that's just oh-so-typical. On Sunday, after a full three days … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse: “But I Could Get that Cheaper . . . “

October 30, 2012 By Dana White | 11 Comments

Once upon a time, I was a Coupon-aholic. I had it bad. I no longer beg for my in-laws' Sunday paper or spend every road trip organizing my coupon box, but I still suffer some lasting ill effects.   Like the "But I could get that cheaper" excuse. A paralyzing excuse, since it's totally true. See, some people need a price book … [Read more...]

The Master Bedroom Saga: Part Seven – Rearranging Furniture

October 29, 2012 By Dana White | 7 Comments

It's been almost two months now since I did this big, huge, scary project.  And as I edit video and try to match it up with what I wrote in my journal, it doesn't always jive perfectly. In my journal at this point, I wrote mostly about the psychological transformations Hubby and I went through just enjoying the emptiness.  We had never … [Read more...]

Easy Recipes: Two Weeks of Crockpot Meals

October 28, 2012 By Dana White | 13 Comments

To stick with the 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses theme for October, let me just introduce this guest post from my friend Crystal by saying that I often use my crockpot specifically as an Excuse Preventer.  It's pretty difficult to pretend you don't have the energy to make a meal that doesn't require any energy!  I am so excited to be here guest posting … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse: “But I Don’t Enjoy Washing Candles . . . “

October 27, 2012 By Dana White | 10 Comments

I mean really.  Who does enjoy washing candles? What?  You've never washed candles? Oh. Well, I guess it's just me. Remember all the talk in the past few posts about my master bedroom and the dust?  Well . . . I can avoid dusting shelves for a long time, but I can avoid dusting candles on the fireplace candelabra that's rarely seen … [Read more...]

Let’s Talk Toilet Paper Again. (And Free $5 Amazon MP3 Credit)

October 26, 2012 By Dana White | 5 Comments

(Lame) Excuse: “But Surely There’s a Better Solution . . . “

October 25, 2012 By Dana White | 10 Comments

Recently, my 10yo said, "Wait, isn't that the same shoe shelf we used to use?  Like . . . a really long time ago?" Why yes.  It is. Do you remember the extreme decluttering of the shoe bench/cabinet that TOTALLY didn't work? At all? Well, way back when . . . that shoe bench was a replacement for this shoe shelf. We had this shoe … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse: “But I Could Totally Get that Fixed . . . “

October 24, 2012 By Dana White | 24 Comments

Here I go with a post that will send some people over the edge.  I know, because I'm one of you. Feel free to suggest what I could have done with these, because I really am interested. I love knowing all the possibilities of turning trash into treasure. But I tend to just treasure trash.  Recently, I did something I've noticed other … [Read more...]

How to Dust When Your Home Could Pass for a Haunted House

October 23, 2012 By Dana White | 11 Comments

  The dust in my master bedroom was atrocious when I got to Cleaning Day in the Master Bedroom Saga. Horrendous.  Terrifying.  Appalling. Yes, this post is part of my 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses.  But I'm going to share both a REASON why the dust was so bad, and then an excuse. A lame excuse. Reason: When a room is as … [Read more...]
