Belated Happy New Year wishes to everyone. Hope you all had a very happy Christmas time

i was over on the budget board reading about destashing.
i think i need to do that as i have too much junk and clutter in my house.

That is our plan for tomorrow. Clear out bedroom cupboards and the attic..........not looking forward to it though. I`m planning on being ruthless........well I can try

Everything that can`t be given to charity organisations or church is going to the rubbish dump. I am going to have so much space when I`ve finished. Must be careful not to fill it with more new junk

Ruthless is what I must be

Congrats Mr Duck on that new tag....

you wear it well.

 

[keishashadow]

hecks bells i missed the new tag, congrats donald

anybody else just reveling in the abundance of football? only reason i might watch the hockey game is to see if the ice is melting. Went from 50 degree weather to dusting of snow and windchill in the teens, what a way to start out the year.

i've managed to attack half the decorations. the tree is standing tall until next weekend, need to enjoy it with the end of the world coming this year & all.

three people getting rid of clutter so far.


I'm in! I just bought some medium sized storage boxes for all the spring and summer clothes I still need to organize. My very favorites will be saved, stuff for DS6 to grow into will be saved, and the rest will go away. Anything left after the boxes are filled will go away, too.

Then I need to start upstairs. That will be a major job.


Now if I can just get some energy....


Roo is feeling better, but Rock is still sick. I think we need to go to the vet.

 

[macraven]

taminator tu tu.........

it is much easier said than done.
words of wisdom
or
the reason i don't destash very well.


i have the tree and decorations all boxed up and on the shelf in the basement.
did the utility room today.
i made a point to through out all can goods that expired sometime in 2009.
i figure the ones that expired in '10 still have some life in them......

i have 6 racks/towers in my basement.
4 of them are filled with stuff belonging to my parental units.
i'll go through them someday...............
but i did destash one of my racks.


i'm concentrating on what i can get rid of now and have more room in my dump.
tomorrow it is the kitchen.
if i haven't used it in months, into the good will box it will go.

i should see the light at the end of the tunnel by the end of this year.


sending kisses to Rock.
that will make him feel better or maybe he will smell Cats on me and become peppy and himself again.......

You can say that again.
I have such good intentions about cleaning up my mountains of good quality unused things.
In fact, I constantly have those good intentions.
I just never get around to making it happen for more than a day or two.
I have to get out of the house and take care of the kids at some point.


Rock says thanks for the kisses. He's too old to care whether or not you have cat shaped dogs.

Jared started his school work today and is happily reading his medieval history. We both love history. He's not as fond of math.

Jonathan starts back at the autism center on Thursday, and his social skills class on Monday.

It'll be good to get back on a schedule, but it's a new schedule to adapt to.
I hope I don't forget and drive 2.5 hours for nothing on one of the OLD schedule days.

Bruce (even though he was named for Spielberg's attorney) never stood a chance against the powerful magic of corporate greed.

 

[macraven]

wow!

looks like orlando has some cold weather last night.......

 

[Tinker-tude]

Okay, FL peeps. We're going to Legoland in Feb.
If I remember right, it was really, really cold in FL (and everywhere else) during the month of love.

Just trying to decide if I should keep the box of spring clothes unsealed, or pack the mild winter wear.

 

[macraven]

if you are driving, take both.........



if you are flying, wear a lot of clothes on the plane so you have more room in your luggage.......

layer yourself.

wear 2 pairs of shorts.
under that, wear leggings/armour all
wear the jeans over the above.

wear 2 tees.
over that, a long sleeve top
and a windbreaker vest over that.

then put on the coat.

wear a winter type of hat with gloves stuck inside them.

can't help you with the shoes except you could put shoes/sandals in the coat pockets.



Then, pack the suitcase
you won't be over the weight limit then.

Wow, Mac! How do you not die of heatstroke? You are definitely a travel veteran, though. If I pack extra shoes, I usually fill them with small items so no space is wasted. But I haven't flown since they started charging extra for heavy bags, so I need to learn how to pack again. Ugh....


Luckily, we're driving this trip. Our next long trip on a plane isn't until August or September, so we'll be packing light that trip.


DH won two plane tickets from work for being Superman. Now we just need to decide exactly where we want to use them. I originally wanted to go to ComicCon, but it's too soon in the year to swing it. Anything like that happening late summer or early fall that any Homies know about?


I'm thinking instead that we can go to a big Renaissance Faire that's too far to drive to. CA? MI? NY? We'll see what the boys' tickets will cost and start planning away! We haven't been to a Ren Faire for seven years. That's an eternity for this wench!

You're profile says your in Columbus, MS. That is only 240 miles from Nashville. They have a Ren fair.

our newest homie and he can read a map.



we need homies like that here...........!!


thanks for the 411 about Ren Faire.



i go to one in Bristol Wi but that is because it is a very short drive for me to get there.......
i figured Tink taminator wouldn't want to drive that far north.

i bet she is very happy to hear there is one much closer to her.

Thanks Mr Brian
!!

Here is the bar we were trying to finish off with bottlecaps the night before NYE. We needed 77 more Bud Select and we got them. The Bud Light Lime drinkers couldn't quite keep up.

The white lettering is made up of LED lights that plug in behind it.

Welcome aboard, Brian!

We're looking at the really distant Ren Faires so we can use some plane tickets my husband won. Not only does it need to be a planeworthy distance, it needs to be at the right time of year. With all of the other plans we made in advance for trips, seminars, etc., the only time we can use our tickets is late summer/early fall. But thanks for the heads up! Nashville is only about a 4-5 hour drive for us, so we can hit their Faire in 2013 if I make plans for it now.


Mac - you go to the one in WI? Let me see of we can meet you there! Do you go on an exact weekend, or just whenever you feel like it while it's running? I need to check plane ticket prices for the kids!

Vicki!!!!! Long time no see! Welcome back, bonny lass!
