It’s been cold here this week. I’ve been spending my days huddled in front of the space heater with a blanket. I am not sure why I have felt so cold all of the sudden… It’s not any colder than it was a few weeks ago when we were icebound for a week, and our thermometer tells me the heat is working. It’s supposed to be in the high 50s all next week and I’m excited! I can tell it’s…
I saw this picture today and it cracked me up. Sooo true!! Day 4 is coming to a close. Metro Atlanta public schools are still closed, until Tuesday (Monday is a holiday) – though I think a lot of private schools are going back tomorrow. Tomorrow the temperatures are supposed to be in the low 40’s, and hopefully the ice will melt!! Meanwhile, I still have not left the house since Sunday. I walked down our driveway today to get…

We live fairly close to the city, and “metro Atlanta” includes more distant towns up to an hour away and in the mountains. So sometimes, *they* will see snow when we…
So how did I do in my decluttering challenge last month? Well one thing I learned: It is very annoying to count every item you’re getting rid of. I think it’s probably a good challenge if you’ve already done a major declutter and want to push yourself to get rid of a few more things. But when you’re talking 200 or 300 items… yeah that’s annoying. I would have taken a picture, but I could just anticipate someone getting offended…
