blue flu and STUFF

not that anybody noticed, but i haven't updated in a while.

i had the flu! or some type of virus! or something just short of death!

mel, you won the book! as soon as live.com stops throwing a snit fit, i will open your email and get your book out to you.

this week's giveaway will be a random cookbook from my massive collection. it will probably be the one that won't fit on my bookcase correctly. i will take entries until april 18, 12:00 noon. lower 48, usa only, blah blah blah! to qualify, send me the weirdest ingredient in your pantry. if you know why you have it, tell me. ut you may not know why it ended up in your cabinet...

i have a secret shame...there is a mall in my garage. yes, when i had to downsize, i just put the things i couldn't process and didn't need immediately in the garage. so there is enough room to put my car in and the rest is just STUFF!

i have listed a dinette set and some clothing on craigslist. i have had quite a bit of response, but i need to take some pics. i need some money, not boxes of stuff!

i can't bring myself to call it clutter, so i call it STUFF! to me, clutter is crap no one wants and no one needs. these are valuable thing that i once put great value in owning. based on the number of emails i have gotten from craigslist, it is of value to someone else. once i have it down to a manageable level, it may become clutter. but for now, i am in my safety zone and calling it STUFF!
