Day 42: Work
Atlanta is expecting another “winter event.” After not preparing for the last bit of snow that came through, this time it seems we’re going to overreact. Schools were shut down today, even though it stayed above freezing all day, and … Continue reading
Day 41: Thin
Ok, I’m not quite as bad as George Costanza, but let’s just say that I’ve been known to tote a fat wallet…minus the cash, that is. I’ve noticed it on long car rides before–I’ll have to take my wallet out … Continue reading
Day 34: Excavate
Today it’s another small step–and one that I have tackled before–the overflowing cabinet of storage containers… and the deep-reach cave of kitchen cooking weirdness. I am always spilling out plastic storage containers onto the floor every time I go digging … Continue reading

Day 11: Demote
A tool is only a tool if it’s something you use, right? Otherwise, it’s just clutter. Take, for instance, my kitchen tool drawer. Much like my pantry, it’s the sort of little thing that eats at me every day, but … Continue reading
Day 9: Delete
