Yup, you glanced too quickly! Be brave and start your own thread. You can even say that I forced you to! Nope, I don't think that anyone would be bored by your story or your photos...if so, they don't have to look or read...and enough folks would be interested that it would be worth your troubles. Think of it as a gift to the Clubhouse!

(I've said more on this topic in your folder because I'm feeling gabby and manipulative today!)

Lkunkel: I only had the chance to look at that Ebates sign-up page. I haven't read about the program itself yet but if I do sign up, I'll list you as a referral. When/If I get to that point I'll ask you how to do it!

Spinner: I love your photographs!

I've done some more small home improvements and have been "winterizing" my house. Even did some decluttering - apparently I do have some junk, lol.

I love the holiday season (which as far as I'm concerned runs from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year's) so I'm looking forward to decorating my house & yard now that they're slowly becoming more presentable.

Trust me, Vee, the one thing I am NOT is a whirling dervish.

Check out my folder for the gruesome details.

Tomorrow WILL be a better day. Tomorrow WILL be a better day...

Yes, dear, it will be a better day. I've already been to your folder and I am almost absolutely for certain that tomorrow will be a better day! Not a whirling dervish...sounded like one in your folder! LOL

A whirling dervish implies accomplishing something. I've accomplished nothing. (Well, nothing of importance on my To-Do list...)

I've even brought in a garbage bag to go through the stuff next to my bed, and can't seem to psyche myself into it.

Laurie, I have had a good many days like that...I imagine that I shall have a good many more. Heck, I've had entire weeks and months like that!

The secret is to keep on going no matter what! March right on through overwhelmed; march right on through anxiety. Babystep marching though! Take it easy now! Are we partying tonight?

I tossed away 14 hershey kiss wrappers, and 14 of the paper tags, so I did a 27 -plus fling boogie.

I'm now looking at my magazine, clipping out things for the AB file and tossing out the remains.

Are we partying tonight? I don't understand the question.

BTW, Keep track of records. I discovered I hadn't received my Menu Mailer for 2 weeks. The first week, I contacted Kandi. I just contacted Leeann, after not getting an answer.

She informed me that my sub ran out on 9/21. I resubbed for a year immediately, and then thought about it. A check of my past PayPal records shows that I reupped for a YEAR on August 20th, 2004.

Now she's trying to sort it out, because I have at least 4 issues owed to me.

Good advice, Lk, and always pertinent!

Lumbele left a note in my folder explaining her absence. She is really suffering with a bad back and it is not possible for her to sit for long at the computer to do all the gadding about that she would like to here, there, and everywhere on the board. She wishes you all well and happy fluttering. Says the men at her house are being very helpful so that's the good news. She'd probably love a cheery word in her folder about now!

Hope you all have your family fun day planned! It's a family birthday tomorrow for me so I'll be busy having fun.

Have a great weekend everybody! Go shine your sinks!

Well, after all the calculations were done, I am now subscribed to Menu Mailer until January 2007.

I'm hoping tomorrow to be able to do something. Anything.

Well, I will be giving IRL declutter instructions to someone starting next week. This attempt, however, I have laid down ground rules. What shocked me the most: he opted to agree to them.

For now, I am working on the craft area in addition to the 15 minutes in the LR. I've totally changed around my Zones again.

I spent the weekend putting electronic documents in their correct folders, and worked more on my HNB. I'll be back to posting more soon. My files are so chaotic right now, I have to work on them first. I've decided to work on the apartment in the AM, and the computer in the PM. So, that way I can get stuff done, but also rest.

What's up with everyone else today?

Stopping in to say that I won't be around very much at all this week and so I'll be missing everybody! Glad that you'll be able to post more often, Laurie. I just left a note in your folder saying that I hoped you could keep the home fires burning here. Good thoughts going out to Spinner and Lumbele and all the gang. Have a wonderful week!

Hi! Where is everybody? Not here obviously!

Have been on a regular cleaning tear that has made me feel a bit more with-it. We have eliminated all the paths in the basement and can get around easily down there now. Thank goodness for the mice getting in or else we may never have done it, but we had to get that little problem taken care of so, consequently, we got all the other issues taken care of as well.

I can't believe the stupid stuff we were holding onto. Really incredible to think that I should hold onto the kids' old pilled blankets, etc. Oh well! Live and learn! At least they won't ever have to deal with it.

Also tossed all the old scraps of wood and metal and anything else that was just hanging around taking up valuable space.

We purchased a craft table and have it all set up with the stamping things that needed to come in out of the cold. I am looking forward to having some fun down there for a change! We may even do our Christmas wrapping downstairs this year since the table would be a good workspace. Can't be any worse than having it upstairs in my bedroom where I always resented the upheaval that it caused.

Well, have gabbed enough and must run. Take care until I can catch you another time.

I'm without computer unless I'm at work....I'm also drying things out. I can't believe what a mess I have with the papers.

I used my briefcase for the first time since it was submerged with my car. Unfortunately, it still had water in it OR my tote bag had water in it. YUP, another glob of sodden papers/books.

SIGH!

Things WILL get better!

Yes, things will get better! What a lot you have had to go through the past few weeks. Hope that everything is getting straightened out now.

Just stopping in to post the photo of my grandfather's rescued leather bag. It's the one he always used when coming for a little visit so when it was on the junk heap I grabbed it. It is true what they say about one person's junk being another person's treasure.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Will try again later...my time is up!

Good heavens! I am certainly photo posting challenged... Please imagine that there is a glorious autumn scene beyond the window...there really is, but that's not why I am posting this one...trash or treasure...that is the question.

Golly, I do know how to send folks scrambling...forget all of my posts with photos. LOL!

Spent most of my weekend getting the yard ready for winter and packing in the summer furniture...not quite finished with that project. Also cleaned the summer plant pots, which is something I usually save for spring. I think that I am going to thank myself when it comes time to plant and I have clean pots for a change.

Got some new stairs for the front door and I am so happy with them. Then my neighbor came over and gave us two new outside lanterns. How cool is that? So we had those wired practically on the spot. It's looking ever so much better now as you can imagine.

Got our stamping corner/Christmas wrapping center set up in the basement, too. I am feeling pretty darned organized. Hope that it stays that way.

Have to admit, though, that I am finding those steps for Christmas organization a bit overwhelming and have not kept up with them very well. That's the joy of this system...you get to pick and choose.

I am ordering Leanne's Menu Mailer today as a gift for my mother's birthday. She has been repeatedly saying that she needs some help with her diet so I am hoping she will enjoy Leanne's help.

Hope I haven't killed another thread...just teasing...hurry back...is Purple in the house?

Where's our Laurie? Has anyone heard from her?

Speaking of Laurie, where's everyone else? Don't tell me I have killed another thread for good, expecially one as helpful as this one!

Sending good thoughts out to all who are struggling right now. Keep hanging in there

Vee, I kinda like the idea of that flower pot peeking out of the bag, would never have thought of it myself. If this bag is a treasure to you, why not have it out? Remember the mantra "if it makes you smile..."?
So, what's up with everyone around here? More sickos? (oops, don't think that came out right.LOL) Or are they just taking a page out of my latest book and sloughing off?
Anyone doing any projects?
Yesterday I made a little sheer curtain for the window by the front door. The glass is that milky distorting kind already, but it always bugged me that I had no curtain there. In Germany I dug through Mum's curtain stash and found one long enough to cover above window. So I chopped what I needed off and sewed the little bugger. What a pain! The design is so "airy" that I had nothing substantial enough to anchor my pins in. Out came the clothes pins.LOL Hey, whatever works, right?

No illness here Vee, and certainly not put off by your purse photo. Just swamped with work; finding some 15-minutes, but not many minutes to post in the forums.
