Hi all! I have had an incredibley busy holiday with family for the last 2 weeks. It's been nice, but boy am I glad it's over. Sharon, I just saw your
post about getting the flu. Ugh! that is the worst, and at this time of year, too - what a bad deal. I hope you feel better by now, and had a chance to enjoy
the holidays. Normy, I hope you are having fun with the new house. Did you have time to decorate for the holidays? All I managed this year was a tree with a
few ornaments and the stockings up. That was it. I plan to start my new year off right by filling in my 2008 calendar and planner tomorrow. I actually like to
do that. It's just making myself check it and actually DO the stuff I put on there (like birthday gift reminders) that's not as fun for me. I am proud
of myself for remembering to buy them ahead of time, at least. I forgot to buy a planner for work, so I need to do that this weekend. I use it to make my to-do
lists and track my time on jobs- and for me that is key to not procrastinating at work. Good luck with all your new year resolutions and have a Happy New
Year!!

Hi Ozark Girl!!!
Thanks for the good wishes... Yes, I feel much better now, it took well over 3 weeks to get back on my feet again. 2008 is here and I am already starting some projects. This past weekend I tackled one of my linen closets, took everything out and started all over again. I must have thrown away 2 shopping bags of old make-up, creams, cosmetics etc. and also old towels, sheets etc. Next closet is my clothes closet, the one in my bedroom, I actually have 4 closets that I use for clothes, LOL besides my bedroom closet I have a small cedar closet for my fur coats & fancy dresses, and I also use some of the spare-room closet and the coat closet in the family room!!! Way too many clothes!!! So this week I am going to be working on that. At the office I am going to start a new filing system... Sharon |

Hi Ozarkgirl and Sharon. Yes, we had decorations up just in time for Christmas. The house is coming together beautifully. We've ordered loads of wardrobes
for the bedroom as the previous house had built-in, so we didn't have any. The clothes are currently on temporary rails, or hanging on clothes hangers on
the picture rail. (It doesn't look as bad as it sounds!).

Hey girls! I was beginning to wonder if you both were so happy in your new homes, you had left the online world for good. ;-) Sharon - so glad you're
better. You must be, to have tackled a linen closet. Good luck with the clothes purge, that may take a while. Normy - sounds exciting. I would love to see
photos of your new homes some time. Is that possible on this board? The last day of my vacation while kids were still out of school, we did some serious
decluttering. We tackled their bedroom closets and came out with bags of trash and big boxes of toys, etc. Then we packed it up with a bunch of stuff in the
basement that had been awaiting the Big Garage Sale for over a year. A total of 10 boxes, 4 bags and 4 old suitcases - I decided to donate it all instead. If
we didn't get the garage sale done last summer, why did I think we would this year? Procrastinating on garage sale now taken care of. Best part - I
decluttered stuff - AND decluttered a future summer Saturday. Instead of spending an entire weekend trying to make a few $, we will be able to go camping,
floating or even have a weekend away with hubby.
