Day 69: Store
Ooooohhhh! Scary basement! Yup, those are Halloween decorations piled up everywhere, and yes they have been there since the first week in November. I asked the kids to take down the decorations, and they did….but after that, everything just kind … Continue reading
Day 64: Transplant
I’ve had an avocado tree in my office almost as long as I have been at my school–around seven years, I’d guess. It started out as an avocado seed suspended by four toothpicks in a peanut butter jar full of … Continue reading
Day 62: Detach
…with love, of course, as the saying goes. So tonight is going to have to be another Monday evening quickie. Not too long ago, I read about another blogger’s refrigerator magnet de-clutter project. Admittedly, it’s not a major, life-changing undertaking … Continue reading

Day 48: Appreciate
Early on in this process (all of 48 days ago), I wrote that I was going to keep these blog posts as short–and as simple–as I could. Today is certainly one of those days when I need to remind myself … Continue reading
Day 45: Mate
Yes, I’m talking about socks. I mean, what did you think I was talking about, huh? A couple of days ago, one of the blogs I follow posted a de-clutter assignment for clearing out your sock drawer. I thought it … Continue reading
Day 43: Restore
Well, so far Part II of Atlanta’s Winter Weather Advisory doesn’t look too bad. The “wintery mix” showed up around 1am, mostly in the form of snow. It changed over to ice somewhere around 7am this morning, and it’s still … Continue reading
