Unfinished, Unopened, Unrelenting

As you know I have been working on setting up the new domain for the blog I coauthor with my best friend Mama Kelly.  We are moving over all the posts for the past 2 years (over1300) and it is a huge job.  My other huge project is sorting out the junk and trying to get [...]

My 999 Jobs

Do you ever feel like you have a zillion jobs, no time and just a tad overwhelmed?  With school starting next week, I already feel the looming stress of all the added activites, things to remember, rushed mornings, packed lunches, and more that lies ahead.

Treasures, Memories, and Friends

This was the last weekend that Mama Kelly’s daughter, Miss Artistic, came over to help me sort the mountains of junk that have been in my garage and other places around the house (she had agreed to help out four weekends this summer).  She arrived Friday afternoon and was spending the night, I brought her home [...]

Singing a Sorting Song

Today I will S-O-R-T-I-N-G big time because I have a helper coming over for a few hours.  My best friend’s daughter will be spending a few hours today (and a few other weekend days) to help me move boxes, sort boxes, label boxes, and in general give me a hand doing the things that are difficult [...]

Celebrate With Me!

The “Junk” Gene

I am convinced there is a gene that is related to “hording Junk.”   Not every member of my family has it.  But my great grandmother had it, my grandmother did and so does my mother.  And unfortunately, I have it but not as bad at they did.   They collected and saved almost everything for decades [...]

Happy Happy Joy Joy

I’m home with the family after an awesome overnight visit with Mama Kelly.  It was a great visit with ideas and inspiration flowing, laughter and giggles erupting, and creativity  running amok.   I have tons of notes and things to do, but we both agreed that we are not going to stress ourselves out, no crazy deadlines or [...]

Junk Will No Longer Rule My Life

There is an ongoing battle in my house – Us versus the JUNK!.  This battle spills over so that it sometimes causes tension between myself and Teacherman, for a variety of reasons most of which make no sense, but for some reason pushes both our buttons.  Anyway, Sunday I left the house to go visit my [...]
