And every time I see your almost month old title I get a TANG OF UNHAPPINESS. Come on, throw us a bone, a chicken picture, Aaron update, gardening woes SOMETHING, ANYTHING. I live vicariously through you and its been slow lately.<br />I know this is a heavy burden..... but buck up soldier...... you can handle it!<br />Hope all is well, greatly enjoy any and all of your posts.

I moved 5 years ago and then got sick. So the garage is still filled with boxes that I never unpacked. And I do mean filled. I keep telling myself that if I haven't needed it in 5 years, no doubt 80% of it is trash or unnecessary. The other 20% is stuff that I need but can't find... Then I go take a nap. So goes it. I am trying to set a goal of one box a night. Seems simple- right?<br /><br />At any rate, I hope you are well. I wish I lived closer... we could start our own support group! ;) Hugs and kisses your way1Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128606917703914253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-61265737382515674292013-11-08T08:59:16.808-06:002013-11-08T08:59:16.808-06:00You need to come to my place and "deep clean&...You need to come to my place and "deep clean" for me!!

It's bad...and I got the bug! I just came clean today on my blog...confessing that I have become a hoarder! I am so tired of it!! Thanks for this post!<br /><br />Sharon<br /><br />PS I almost forgot all about the curtains...I really like them...from the picture they do look like the same colors as the border...but I have to agree with Dawn on the Farm. Don't you wish these men would just leave us alone to do our own thing when it comes to decor? I guess we need to let them have a say now and again.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693157924759567988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-18614518953702378452013-10-18T11:36:32.419-05:002013-10-18T11:36:32.419-05:00I like the material but do feel it's a bit bus...I like the material but do feel it's a bit busy.

My eyes can't quite depict what colors are all represented in the curtain. A 6 - 8 inch wide strip that would separate the busy-ness of the border (come on, Glenco) from the curtain panel. But that's just me!

I have way too much stuff. I think everybody does. I will turn 50 next July, and my goal is to go through my entire house and GET RID of everything that is not "beautiful or useful" as the saying goes. I am going to do the same thing in my closet. I have clothes I haven't worn in years. I need to donate them and then go buy myself a few really nice pieces of clothing, since I will have ROOM!! I want to embark on the HIGH CONNOISSEUR OF LIFE journey! I want to travel light, so that I can TRAVEL. Our youngest child heads to college next fall (snif snif), so hubby and I will be able to take some trips and I don't want a bunch of stuff at my house to worry about!!! I have two 2 cup measuring cups too. Time to donate one!!! Yesterday as I was driving home from work I saw a beautiful lady standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street and she had on some KILLER high heels! They were gorgeous! I hesitated just a moment, then rolled down my window and yelled out to her "I love your shoes!" She got a huge grin on her face, and yelled back "thank you!" I think it made her day, and I know it made mine. O.K. now, I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and comment on something that is NONE Of my business . . . . lose the border, KEEP THE CURTAINS!!! Blessings to you my Indiana friend. Big hug from Missouri to you!!!!! Oh, I have just referenced you in my blog post of today, and posted a link to your blog and to Becoming Minimalist.

The weather has been so damn cold and dreary its depressing but alas this morning the sun is in attendance. I would love a 4 cup measuring cup I dont think Ive ever seen one! And Ive been measuring windows for a trip to Joanns for fabric for curtains in my livingroom. Auditioning fabric is a great way to save money and prevent being stuck with something you wont love after a day or two!Kellie from Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336038070977514482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-14330069356470908712013-10-17T22:12:24.162-05:002013-10-17T22:12:24.162-05:00I swear girl, is it a 50's thing, this whole l...I swear girl, is it a 50's thing, this whole living minimally? I have been feeling it too and even just said it again to my sister in law today. I know you have touched on this subject before, but I want to live "simple", somehow too. Where's Nate Burkus or Peter Walsh when you need them!<br /> I have to agree with a few here, that the fabric doesn't work with the decor you have. Keep up the search, you'll find something yet. <br />Oh, and on the telling a stranger they are pretty, I have done that.

Know what I think would look good with that wallpaper? Painter's drop cloth curtains! I do have a little PDC addiction but for very few dollars it is AMAZING what you can do with that fabric! <br /><br />I spent last weekend in and out of the basement purging. I am letting go of so much stuff and it feels so good. I have plastic storage bins with stuff in that I have not touched since I moved back from Seattle eleven (YES, 11!) years ago. It was just too painful to dig through them. I put on my big girl granny panties and dove in. I still have about another two weekends worth of work but I do feel lighter and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I imagined it would be.<br /><br />Purge on!!Three Birds Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462935193167668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-58826878359297747932013-10-17T13:43:28.870-05:002013-10-17T13:43:28.870-05:00Hmmm...might be a bit busy, but I love it!
