A and I decided to celebrate Christmas this year. Last year we put the tree up but really didn’t do much else than that. We were just dealing with a couple of life cards and celebrating Christmas felt like just a wee bit too much to add. But this year… a couple of weeks ago – I felt like it… (more…)
Yup! A and I are still here. We’ve been taking care of some business that didn’t feel right to share here and so… given that I am not very good at keeping secrets, I’ve been a wee bit delinquent at sharing how things have been for us. I am still not ready to share here what we’ve been up to… (more…)
Jennifer and the girls have been here for 1 1/2 weeks now. It feels like it is going fast yet I don’t feel like I am missing anything with them. We’ve been doing so much but yet… are not overdoing it. I am still allowing my body to dictate my day. I awaken early, I lay there for a while,… (more…)
I realize that I haven’t done my goal updates for the past two months and that I have some catch up to do with our last few weeks in Spain. I will get to that, but first… I have been de-cluttering: And: I am thinking that this might actually catch me up on the 10 weeks that I have missed…… (more…)
I was going through old posts and realized that it has been a long time since I have posted our decluttering stuff. It has been leaving the house slowly but surely, but I haven’t been writing about it. Sorry. The weeks we have been home, with very few exceptions, we have been decluttering. I still open a cupboard and sigh,… (more…)
As I mentioned in the last post, A and I sat down last night and reviewed 2010. We also made some goals for 2011. We’ve decided to publish them as we know that will make us a wee bit more accountable. It also gives us a place to go back to remind ourselves of our goals. Studies suggest that if… (more…)
I have missed a week of posting but we have still been getting rid of stuff. A has really gotten into it. I am glad, I don’t really ‘see’ it yet, but I know that we will soon. This week I got down our stored clothing and went through it with a firm look – Were we ‘really’ going to… (more…)
I really don’t know what week this should be. But since I am finally home and have been for a week now, I have gotten together my 10 things to purge. It’s nothing very exciting actually, but it is more stuff out of my house! 10+ pairs of pants/jeans 1 large Tupperware with lid (does that actually count as two?)… (more…)
Well, since I haven’t been at home, I haven’t really been keeping track but I figured that since I am actually getting rid of our things that this still counts. Here’s the list, It is by no means a comprehensive one: 12 house plants 2 bed frames 1 3/4 sized bed with mattress 1 desk 1 metal bed frame –… (more…)
I have been successful! Yay! Actually I have been more than successful, I feel lighter already and I have been able to really settle into our new home. I’m quite excited about it. I even managed to get pictures up on the walls. Typically they sit on the floor leaning next to the wall in the spot where I think… (more…)
