A Little Shelf Love…
I’m being shelfish today and doing some shelf indulgent organizing. The CDs that rarely/ever get listened to are going in some boxes. I’m not getting rid of them yet, but they are going into storage until I decide what to do with them. Since embracing the music streaming apps I rarely use them anymore, and…

Kitchen Tidy Part 1.5…
Sorry for the delay, I’ve been a tad frazzled. My doctor put me on steroids and some other medications that have completely fried my ability to focus on anything for more than five minutes. I won’t use the word manic, but let’s just say confused enthusiasm has been ruling the roost. *see also pretty serious…

I Bought a New Mug…
Actually it’s four new mugs, and now my kitchen looks like this: Friday night I was online shopping to distract myself from cascading life issues. Usually I just fill a shopping cart with precious shiny things, and then never hit buy. But I was particularly enamored by some jade green coffee mugs, and they were…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 1…
Maybe the reason I find hotel rooms so relaxing is because they are not full of stuff, unlike my room at the moment. So I’m going to take a weekend off to completely spring clean my room. Wash, vacuum, dust blah blah blah, all the small jobs that I’ve neglected lately. I know that I…

Stranger than Fiction…
Over the past two years I’ve decimated my library. This 90% reduction has come about by mostly getting rid of all fiction books, which made sense when I realized I rarely reread fiction. So I’ve gone from 1000s of books to 100s, and the hundreds are mostly reference books, because I revisit art,design, craft etc…
