Don't Touch That Book

* * * * *
Throughout my clean-out/declutter process,
I bump into books all over this house.
And just the thought of having to box up books
to give away or donate gives me a stomach ache
and I get a little dizzy.

And now I know why!
I WANT NIGELLA'S LIBRARY!

So: I may not live with 18 foot ceilings
but my next living room
won't be a living room at all...

If you come to visit, we'll clink a glass together
in the library!!!!!

Baby Steps

* * * * *

I have to remind myself to take it slow.
Change doesn’t come over night.
It’s a process. Baby steps.
Don’t dive right in. Step slowly and gracefully.
Be okay with imperfection.
I aim for being better than yesterday, not as good as tomorrow.

I'm so glad it's Friday, I could dance...

I Love You, Carol

Part of "de-cluttering", with a professional organizer and friend, is not only to assist you in getting unused articles out of your closet -they're also quite firm about your wire hanger collection:

Carol: Do I have to act like Joan Crawford? "No Wire Hangers"!

Me: But...look how cute....

Carol: They're not cute, they're horrible on your clothes - AND THEY DON'T MATCH!

Me: Match? Like in a clothes closet? Who would ever care?

Carol: Trust me. You will.

Once Upon a Time

Now...

Matchy-Matchy

Watch out kids...it's contagious...
once this happens, you want it all over your home
and all over your life!!!

I love you, Carol!!!!!

I Predict

I predict my next date will be with a dancer, for

Shocking

WAIT! WAIT....WHAT?

Whatever do you mean marshmallows aren't on any diet?

That's just stupid... then why drink hot chocolate...?

I mean, really.

* * * * *

And I think to myself...

* * * * *

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They're really saying, I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh

“The toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming,
when we don’t have time to come up with a strategy
to pick a side or to measure the potential loss.
When that happens, when the battle chooses us
and not the other way around,
that’s when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.”

— Meredith Grey

Baby Steps.
First steps Friday, October 8th.

Did I tell you I was a hoarder...
and that I don't want to go on TV about it?

So: Friend and I start Friday -
after several hours,
Purple Heart and other charitable organizations
stop buy to pick stuff up.
Then a group called "College Movers"
take the rest of the stuff away....

DID I TELL YOU I CAN'T WAIT?
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

adios, junk.
and you 40 women with new jeans: the pleasure is all mine!

Love

You will never outgrow my heart

Friendship isn't about whom you've know the longest.

It's about who came, and never left your side.

October -

* * * * *

I agree...one of the most beautiful months in Michigan.

But let's be serious and courageous for a mome...
it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I have a personal relationship with breast cancer,
so I'm asking you nicely:
Please self exam regularly and
get those Mammograms.

The end.
