I am blessed w/the paper shredder within striking distance.

I just put my ccard statements, bank statements & paycheck stubs in a bag to be placed in the basement. 2 years worth. I'm surprised how much was simply this year. There is way too much paper in the world.

I threw out about 5 CDs that held duplicate information or earlier versions of things.

I also attempted to switch over to a handbag that mda bought me for x-mas, but it doesn't have the number of compartments I need in my compartmentalized brain: there's the car stuff, and the different cards (the new bag only has 3 slots for those), the wallet, the 2 outsides of my bag that hold, well, crap, but also a small bag w/my neice's postcards for sending. Oh, and my current bag hides tampons v.well. You open the big bag, and you'd be able to see those things a mile away. The big bag will be cool for special meetings, et al.

I'm boring myself w/this talk.

This has been my whole week, and to be honest, the place doesn't look any better. I think Jackie has been smuggling more paper in.
I think she really does hate empty horizontal services, and feels un-cozy if we can walk down a hallway without stepping over shit.

I have several horizontal spaces that have been given over to me by default. Of course, mda has several floor spaces given over to extra computer stuff, so it wall works out.

I've actually improved quite a bit since moving in with Michael. I didn't think I'd do 1/10th as well. :)

I have very little of sentimental value, yet we are drowning in stuff!!!

Sometimes I do get the urge to just throw it all in a big bonfire. It would be slightly disorienting.

I have happy dreams of burning my house down, and getting free of all the "things".

maybe you should just take the wife & kids to a new job in Australia. Pack everything you're going to live with in 5 bags.

I did move the family 3 time zones.. I thought that would take care of it.. but they are tenacious pack-rats.

You could use the handbag only for fancy occasions when you don't need all your compartments.

Paper shredder, eh? Would you like some worms to go with your shredded paper? I have extra. They'll eat your gaaaaar-bage!

I was talking about your worms with a friend last week! She said, "I know we'll just forget some time, and things will start to smell reeeally bad.

I like the slightly scandalous, "No, I'm just gonna dump this compost behind the chicken wire fence in the front yard" approach to composting.

Naw, that doesn't really happen. It smells bad when you put more food in than the worms and little bugs and bacteria & whatnot can handle. The rest of the time, it smells earthy.

I found a great big knot of worms when poking around in there tonight. Your friend would be so welcome to a test mess of worms.

When I lived in the house of the lady I was in jug band with, we used to pitch our food garbage out the back door. That was great. I can't really do that here, though. No backyard.

Sounds like you were very productive! I am slightly jealous at your organization. I cannot organize myself usually. My biggest downfall.

I just switched to a bad that hides pads and such much better than the last one. A girl needs to be discreet, after all. ;)

Productive

Ha! I'm glad I can walk the walk. My organization on my old bills amounts to putting them in a paper bag w/beginning & end dates on them! I had to clean the old bills up b/c they were becoming a mountain that I could no longer squeeze stuff into.

descreet is my middle name. Oh, wait, maybe it's my first name b/c everyone calls me by my middle name :)
