(Lame) Excuse: “But No One Will Go in THAT Room . . . “

October 11, 2012 By Dana White | 6 Comments

Crazy day today. My appliances are being delivered!!! To say I'm excited is an understatement. I had a hard time sleeping last night. The delivery was scheduled for 8 a.m. and yesterday was my busiest day of the week. And I was out of town last week. And Monday was spent with my family on their day off from school. And Tuesday I … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse: “It’s Just One Hanger . . . “

October 10, 2012 By Dana White | 8 Comments

One hanger on the floor doesn't bother me. Twenty-five hangers on the floor do bother me. 2, 8, 16 or 24 hangers . . . somehow I don't see those. I used to think I didn't see the first one, but I've realized that I do see it. I see it and think, "One hanger isn't worth my time.  The room still looks pretty good.  I'll just need to … [Read more...]

Decluttering: The Master Bedroom Saga Part Five (Getting EVERYthing Out!)

October 9, 2012 By Dana White | 15 Comments

Part five was on day three. Which shows how big this project really was. (If you're reading by email, click here to see the webisode.) In my journal, I wrote: Yesterday helped me see that it IS possible to get through this project.But today, I struggle with the donwannas. This work is physical.  It’s August, and so even though I … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse #7: But I Missed a Day . . .

October 8, 2012 By Dana White | 12 Comments

I didn't post yesterday. It was only the seventh day of October, and I already failed in this 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses thing. I could quit. But I won't. Failure and quitting aren't the same thing. I can't go back in time and write a post for yesterday.  Technically, the challenge to post every day in October hasn't been met. But … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse #6: But I Have to Bring Them SOMEthing

October 6, 2012 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I have to bring them something, right? I've been at the Savvy Blogging Summit for four nights. And I miss my kids. And I want them to be sooooo glad I'm home. They would really like this stuffed dragon . . . for about 2.5 seconds. But I gave it to Lacy from Catholic Icing. Because she has four kids younger than mine and now she has … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse: I Want to Get My Money’s Worth

October 5, 2012 By Dana White | 7 Comments

Quick excuse. If I'm going to get a free-but-not-free-because-I-paid-for-this-plane-ticket drink . . . I want one with some calories. Even though I had mostly been avoiding sugary, caffeiney drinks. It makes no sense. I know. See my other (much better) 31 Days of Excuses posts. … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse #4: “But I’m Soooo Tired . . . “

October 4, 2012 By Dana White | 12 Comments

See the dishes?  Contrary to what some Normal People would assume, that’s just one day’s worth of dishes. Ish. Rhythms are difficult to maintain on weekends.  Weekends when your 9yo does a kids’ triathlon are even more difficult. (See how I casually worked bragging on my kid into this post?) Last Friday night, I was already tired when I … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse #3: But Containers are Expensive . . .

October 3, 2012 By Dana White | 24 Comments

  So you know about my love/hate, obsession/phobia, gotta-have-it/get-that-thing-out-of-here-before-my-brain-explodes relationship with storage containers, right? OK.  Good. Well, I went from being a Tupperware Lady and having everything I could ever possibly imagine I would need . . . to purging, purging, and purging-some-more … [Read more...]

(Lame) Excuse #2: “But I Used to be a . . . . “

October 2, 2012 By Dana White | 62 Comments

My former life. That's a great excuse, right? I mean, I've done quite a few different things and had a blast doing all of them.  WHAT IF at some point in the future I want to do them again??? Like, I used to be a teacher.  I taught high school English for two years and then taught Jr. High Theatre for two years. Then I had babies.  And … [Read more...]
