Anybody out there?

Good morning!

Anybody else awake at 5 a.m. on a Saturday morning?  Thanks to a blonde dog, I am!  Rat Mom! Come get yer dog!!!  I could have my own Honey Boo Boo show involving a spoiled dog child who also back talks in doggie language.  Arrrgggg

Did I mention I'm de-cluttering?  Last night I went through all the old VHSes and DVDs.  Originally I purchased them for home schooling.  Jason and the Argonauts sounded like a good idea at the time, but as it is still in the original wrapping, I think I can part with it.  The kids won't miss it.  Now that we have netflix, I really don't need to "store" my old movies....except for "It's Complicated."  I LOVE that movie.  Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin are wonderful (and I don't necessarily like Alex that much!) but he is perfect as a self-absorbed man/boy!!!  Love it!!!!  Guess what I'll be watching today as I continue to sort and sift and give away or ....um....keep and store.

Peaches sent a great article about going totally commando on getting rid of stuff.  I'm still not a believer of this article but in essence the author says....don't get rid of everything in your quest to be minimal and eco-friendly.  Don't worry, dear author of the article, there is no chance of that for THIS strawberry.  For everything I toss or give away, I have 500 more things to look through.  I'm wearing out on this de-cluttering project so I'll still have plenty of stuff to clog up my little strawberry patch.

I say "forget spring cleaning;"  Winter Cleaning is the best time to work.  Rural USA is experiencing nice crisp weather and that makes rummaging through the garage a great time to clear out.  Plus, I need to park my new baby, Georgia, in the garage before the snow comes.  BRRR
