I have no excuses. I saw this duster sitting in the wrongest of wrong places, and hadn't moved it. Therefore, what should have been my favorite Nativity display was instead just part of "stuff on the coffee table." Two seconds later, after moving the duster? It was back to being a sweet and meaningful display. Hurry. Go spend two …

The Five Second Switch That Took Months to Make
I’ve been hiding something. I’ve been hiding it for a very long time. Months, at least. See this picture? I took it when I realized what I was doing. I was covering up something very embarrassing with that purple sponge. I was covering it up because other than this icky and awful spot, this area of my kitchen counter was making …
I’ll Just Have to Do That! (One of these days)
Oh, how I love a good idea. Maybe I love ideas more than solutions. Sometimes I consider something an "idea" when it's really a solution that I'm not implementing right that minute. Which could be called procrastination. Like this light-thingy. I ran across it while decluttering. It's cute and useful and someone gave it to one of …
Need a Win? Grab a Trash Bag!
Summer is over. As I sit here in my eerily quiet house, I'm back to blogging. So far, "blogging" has involved a phone call which moves me one step closer to making a very exciting announcement. It has also included starting (but not finishing) several different posts that have been rolling around in my head over the summer. But alas, I want to …
Two Second Task: Pitching the Completely Useless Counter-Space-Taker
This morning, my Slob Brain registered my own annoyance that there was one-too-many phones on my kitchen counter. For two days, there have been two phones in that space. But lest you think two days isn't that bad, I should admit that there has been one-too-many phones in that space for months. And months. A Phone That Doesn't Work Even …
Two Second Task: Now You See (Might) See It. Now You (Hopefully) Don’t.
I've talked about this particular spot in my kitchen before. This almost-impossible-to-clean spot. My dislike of climbing up on counters at the age of 41 is the reason I'd pretended to not see those cobwebs in the top picture? What? You don't see them? Oh good. Maybe the people who have been in my home since they appeared at least a month ago …
2 Minute-Task – Cleaning the Fryer
I mentioned on facebook over the summer that I was excited to find fresh okra at our local Farmer's Market. I. Love. Okra. So much. Mmmmmmm. Sorry. I got distracted. Anyway, I googled my own recipe for what I don't hesitate to declare is the very best fried okra ever. I also dug around in a cabinet and found my fryer. I almost …
Two Second Task – Test the Pen
I've written before about my resolve to not keep pens that don't work. And about how that is strangely difficult for me. But I'm adding another Personal Life Law. I shall henceforth and forevermore test every pen discovered during a decluttering project immediately, BEFORE placing it in the Pen Drawer. Really. I'm not sure why this …
Two Second Task: De-Grossifying the Washing Machine
I'll put this one under Things That Have Bugged Me Forever that I Still Put Off For Way Too Long We're not talking about using some fancy-schmancy washing machine cleaner. I'm just talking about wiping off the amazingly icky top of the washing machine. I don't like to think about what the ickiness actually is, so I don't. It took …
