Maybe I can tackle the filth after the recharging retreat....As of today, I'm simply looking THROUGH it...Holliehttp://elephant-room.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14632274.post-81327398014892160062010-02-04T00:55:40.975-05:002010-02-04T00:55:40.975-05:00I like to take pictures of the stuff, before I get...I like to take pictures of the stuff, before I get rid of it. Then I still have the memory, if not the tangible item. I have albums of stuff. Crazy but true. It helps me let go. I am a self professed stuffanista. I love stuff! But I hate when the stuff owns me. I always say that for me, true wealth would be living free from the burden of all the stuff. There's no need to buy something on sale, save something old and (currently) unused "just in case". If you need it, you'll buy it later. I'd love to be free to save only the truly meaningful items. The rest? I'd take a picture!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771768210419411310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14632274.post-56022433870700554782010-02-03T23:00:23.570-05:002010-02-03T23:00:23.570-05:00Here's what NOT to do: in a lack-of-sleep indu...Here's what NOT to do: in a lack-of-sleep induced fit, fire everything not so much gently into the five-month-old's still unfinished nursery where it languishes for a month (at last count) in a big, messy pile that the two-year-old occasionally sneaks in to traverse, looking for lost treasure. Definitely not recommendable. On the upside, I totally get what you're saying!Lori-Annehttp://www.thepeartree.ca/blognoreply@blogger.com
