Clearing the clutter and then some...



I am determined this is the year that I will finally clear all the clutter from my boxes that hide out in the garage where I can't see them. It is amazing how much stuff can collect especially when it is "out of sight, out of mind" so to speak. Granted, some of the stuff lurking in the garage is just waiting for when I move and can be released back into use, but there is ALOT that can be done away with, once and for all.

I have found a couple of great websites that I am hoping will help me in this endeavor. I am totally addicted to Real Simple magazine. I think it's the title that makes it so appealing, but it is also full of all kinds of wonderful ideas. And, naturally they have a website as well.. check er out here...

I also apologize in advance for all the updates that may be appearing. I am going to be streamlining my labels again to make it a little easier to create a cloud or something fancy later on..

The other great site, though it seems a little intimidating to me still is FlyLady. I think it's all the baby steps that look scary, but I'm trying. It certainly has the appearance of really being helpful.

Otherwise, I'm focusing on clearing out as much clutter as possible and complete some of the many, many projects I have half finished all over the place. HAHA!

Happy Organizing!

Hello! My favorite site for this kind of thing is Unclutterer. I also recently started a program for myself I'm calling Purge Thursday. Which was really inspired by the book It's All Too Much!

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
