What is your Deepest, Darkest, Most Embarrassing Secret as a Slob Blogger?

October 18, 2016 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I was recently asked this question: What is your deepest, most embarrassing secret as a "Slob Blogger"? My basic, says-everything-I-need-to-say answer: It’s all embarrassing! I was already planning to write this post, but then last night I was given the gift of new and fresh examples. My plan for the next three weeks (leading up to the … [Read more...]

Another Favorite Delusion: Tomorrow, I’ll Be a Potato Farmer

May 15, 2016 By Dana White | 21 Comments

Oh my word, y'all. I abound with delusions. All sorts of them. Someday, I'll be crafty, efficient, excited to exercise, and who knows what else. When these potatoes started sprouting, it seemed like a great idea to hold onto them and start potato farming. I mean, I saw an instructional video years ago that sounded like it was super easy and … [Read more...]

Supporting My Local Library (With My Fines)

December 20, 2015 By Dana White | 20 Comments

If you've been around a while, you know I have a fear of public libraries. Not of what they are, but of my own tendency to lose books or forget to return them for weeks months years on end. But as I worked on my book manuscript over the past few months, my feelings of dread were mostly replaced with warm-fuzzies. Y'all, when you need a place … [Read more...]

All I Wanted to Do Was Take a Funny Picture . . .

December 9, 2015 By Dana White | 4 Comments

Really. I just wanted a laugh from Hubby. I was going to send him a sneakily taken picture of this cutie-patootie: I was going to say something like: This is why I don't eat food that I left in the living room, even just for a second. The picture I couldn't quite get was of her shamelessly chowing down on what was left of my lunch within … [Read more...]

My Favorite Delusion: “If I Had More Time”

August 30, 2015 By Dana White | 16 Comments

My mostest favoritest Slob Delusion in the whole wide world? If I had more time/wasn't so busy/didn't have SO MANY other things to do, my house would be clean. Magically. Easily. Without me even realizing I was cleaning it. Is it the true definition of delusional when someone has learned from (oh-so-much) experience that something … [Read more...]

Fewer Things. Less Frustration.

May 4, 2015 By Dana White | 43 Comments

There was cause for great celebration in SlobLand last night!!! We found the keys to our Camry!!!! Lost keys happen. They happen around here way too often. But this was a very special case of Seriously, Do These Things Happen to Other People or Just US!?!?!?! The (way too long) story: We bought our Camry (used) in our second year of … [Read more...]

The Best of the Bad Ideas

March 24, 2014 By Dana White | 39 Comments

When I decluttered/created-space-in that cabinet in my kitchen recently, I found that candle. So cute, right? Actually, if I said words like "presh" I would totally call that presh. (Presh is short for precious. I think.) I have a soft spot for Christmas decor, for gingerbread houses and for candles that smell like food. And that candle … [Read more...]

Jealous of Other People’s Houses

December 1, 2013 By Dana White | 23 Comments

  I'm not talking about swimming pools or jetted tubs or even closets that are bigger than mine. I'm talking about finding things. Now, there are often times when I do know just where something is. I remember being praised for my amazing organizational skills when we celebrated Christmas at my house three days before my first child … [Read more...]

Wasting Time Because I Tried to Save It

October 21, 2013 By Dana White | 14 Comments

I vaguely remember thinking I did not have time to put the red lid back on the soap-dispensing scrubber that had somehow come apart. I'm sure it made more sense to me to wait until later. To do it when I was dealing with sink-stuff anyway. That would be more efficient, right? As usual with these sorts of things, I was wrong. Putting the … [Read more...]
