My closets are cleaned out. That only took two days. =P I'll be hauling four big black garbage bags to the Goodwill after breakfast.

And then it's into the sewing room for me to work on the 1920s frock.

I slept well (finally!) Saturday night and was up around 9:00, which meant I was able to catch CBS Sunday Morning. This week’s episode was from the Carolina low country, which is where my folks live now. So I was seriously considering calling to talk to my dad. But I talked myself out of it, because I was headed out to be social later and didn’t ( Read more... )

A while back I read this blog post about a capsule wardrobe. This morning two of my friends re-posted the same author’s blog post about why she got rid of her kid’s toys. I have often been appalled at the sheer number of toys some kids have. OMG, my in-laws used to spoil my (ex)nephews so badly that there was barely room for the kids in their own ( Read more... )

I spent a little bit of time trying to find the pattern on the Internet, because I’ve now got three sets of china to dispose of: Grandma S’s china, Grandma L’s china, and several place settings of my own (very ( Read more... )

Due to the oversleeping on Friday I made sure I gave myself permission to sleep in on Saturday. I can’t remember when I finally woke up, but it wasn’t too late, so I guess maybe I wasn’t as behind on my sleep as I thought ( Read more... )

As previously mentioned, Saturday was spent running errands and buying myself my lone Christmas presents this year.

Since I consider Sunday to be the start of the week, I got started on one of my New Year’s goals, which is doing a little bit of purging every week to try to reduce the amount of stuff in my house. As a recovering pack rat, ( Read more... )
