Re: ComPact 2014 – February

Hi, Just Bee,

Both me and my computer are up and running with a new monicker for beauty banter, it stands for love beauty and spirit, so I will not mess up the old beauty and spirit forum that migrated from here. I may change it again to all lower case letters in a few weeks, so I will be really gone and my forum stalkers will have lost me, but that will spell lbands! And everyone will be confused, especially me!

Not only is my room meeting the one room challenge or should by the end of the week end, if nothing interrupts me, but the same exact thing has been happening to me!

We have discovered, my docs and I, that the best medicines for me come from plants or chemicals synthesized to match the brains natural chemicals, except those from the opium and grape plants.

And theoretically, this should not be happening to me because the only thing that I have ever been addicted to is caffeine!

So we all remember,

this is love beauty and spirit

OMGosh! Who knew I could do so much??? {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

I'm making great progress with my living room ORC! I found a good way to work & play. It may seem silly but it is working for me.

I have a few reminders in my phone to do this or that & when they go off I get up. When I get up I have to do some work on the room. I also take something out to the trash or recycle bin each time. Once I start working I tend to keep going for a while. So, I am up & down a bit & have a bit of play time on my netbook.

Re: ComPact 2014 – February

Im half done with my office. I am such a pack rat, that I had to take garbage bags of paper to work for confidential recycle. My little shredder would have died from overwork. But just the fact that I can now the closets, all the way, makes it all worthwhile. Enough so that I have to keep it going. My goal is to walk in my office and sit down to work. Not having to move stacks around to clear a space to work. Also I bought artwork and a wall map about 10 years ago. So now Im encouraged to clear the clutter AND finally decorate. This is why I enjoy following this thread, this group. Keep your goals close and don't give up.

Do you have a hamster by any chance?

No hamster but poor little thing would not have lasted. I found my college ID, new employee guidebook, I started there in 1986! I would be embarrassed if it wasn't so funny how long I can hang onto a piece of paper.

Thank you (curtseying),

And I have joined the ORC and I wish I had a camera to record my progress.

In my renewed state, I am cleaning this room so very fast!

I thank everyone here for all I have learned from you!

Love and beauty and spirit

Re: ComPact 2014 – February

Yesterday, I made good progress with my ORC. I went through all of my dresser drawers. This wasn't so hard because I did it last year. All I did was throw out a few things and straighten things up a bit. I cleaned off every table and dresser top. Now, there is no visible clutter. ............. I started on my bedside table. You will not believe what I found. Two telephone books - 1987 & 1990. Two Palm Pilots. Every single directory for each year my kids were in preschool. (They are now 16 and almost 12 yo.) My tax returns from 1981 - 1985. This from only two drawers. I had to stop when I found the funny birthday card I bought for my niece. She died before her birthday that year, so I never got to send it to her. I became weepy. ............... But I am happy with the way the drawers look. So neat and organized. I can see what is in each drawer without digging. There are two more drawers that need attention. They are a mess. When I open one of the drawers, stuff nearly explodes out of it because it is so full. ............ This is a rewarding experience. I am going to look at my closet, again. I received the Skinnytees, and they are keepers. Now, I will donate some things to offset the purchases as I said I would. .......... Post your progress. It is very motivating!
Paws and enjoy life.

Re: ComPact 2014 – February

Funny story for you. Yesterday, I made a three layer Red Velvet Cake for Valentine's Day (a little late). My kids like the batter, so I gave the beater to DS and the bowl to DD. When DS brought the beater back to the kitchen, I told him to take a look at himself in the mirror. When he walked into the bathroom, I heard him snort/chuckle. A few minutes later, he came into the kitchen and acknowledged that he had "a little something" on his face. A little something. Ha ha! He had cake batter on his face from nose to chin! He's still my little boy.
Paws and enjoy life.
