Waking up early was a good plan. I didn’t wake up SUPER early, but early enough to toss out a cabinet full of canned good that had to go. They had to go quite a long time ago, actually: It was my Y2K survival cabinet. Yes, the cans had bloated and one of them had [...]

In which our hero is too tired to get any housecleaning done… Ugh. So super super super tired. I’m going to turn in a little bit early and try to get in a good 90 minutes of throwing out trash. I’ve got the house divided into those zones (so there’s at least that) and tomorrow [...]

There will probably be no FAWMing for me this year. I’m not ruling it out, but I’m focusing on getting the house clean this month, and I’m making that a first priority.

Need: Like the hole-puncher, I could probably do without it, but it really is an important part of keeping myself organized, as far as that goes! Want: I could easily toss these, since I can’t find them half the time I send anything out, but I like these labels, and sticking them on bills and [...]
Rule #1: True necessities won’t even be considered. I won’t list my bed, my guitar, or my wines as “needs,” because what’s the point in evaluating those when it’s obvious I need them? Rule #2: Books, CDs, DVDs, cassettes, LPs, and VHS tapes will be evaluated, but probably not until 2007. That’s really going to [...]
I’m going to get an early start on my New Year’s Resolution, which I’ll explain later. For now, just know that I will be selecting 365 items in my home as needs, 365 items as wants, and 365 items as toss away, give away, or eBay. Actually, it’ll be more than 365, because I hope [...]
