SO I did it last night.  I KNOW!  It was so awkward at first.  I mean I used to do it a lot when I was a teen and 20-something but it has been decades!  Great.  Now I dated myself.  Damn.  Guess it helps to punctuate the significance of me finally doing it again at this point.  Surrounded by kids all the time and the huge list of house chores that ( Read more... )

"My habit is to read my Friends Page before I post my entry on the days when I am less than motivated by any specific topic.  Today's postings seem to have a common theme.  One close to my heart.   Purging and Organising.   There are five of us in our 1100 scare foot space.  I dream of show home living ( less the plastic wrap on the furniture) but ( Read more... )
