And I agree, it's a weird name.Tori Lennoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466979613205850564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-55406860960772637102010-07-23T16:38:31.241-04:002010-07-23T16:38:31.241-04:00Marianne, my DD is the same way.

I had to force her to throw away used toothbrushes once I discovered that every time I bought her a new one, she added the old one to her collection.<br /><br />Hope Dakota's better soon.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-37465115273834814942010-07-23T13:38:37.386-04:002010-07-23T13:38:37.386-04:00Don't include me in the giveaway!
Poor Dakot...Don't include me in the giveaway! <br /><br />Poor Dakota, I hope she's feeling better soon. <br /><br />I have been gathering things to get rid of this week as well. We moved too many times when hubs was in the Military for me to keep too many things beyond furniture and my books and I purge those every year.<br /><br /> <br />You Are Laid Back and Low Key<br />You are most comfortable when you are challenging yourself and trying something new.<br />You are drawn to passion and emotion. You see the world as a colorful place.<br />You have no trouble finding contentment wherever you are in life. You are happy in the now.<br />You believe that if you look closely enough at people, they all have their own unique beauty. <br /><br />Hmm, maybe a third correct. <br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful Friday!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-75051108047137419782010-07-23T11:41:52.858-04:002010-07-23T11:41:52.858-04:00Who is FlyLady?

You like novelty in small doses.<br /><br />You are drawn to passion and emotion. You see the world as a colorful place.<br /><br />You have a deep and interesting inner world. Your thoughts are vivid and interesting.<br /><br />You believe that if you look closely enough at people, they all have worth. </i><br /> <br />I think this is true.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-36854014736319109702010-07-23T08:08:11.461-04:002010-07-23T08:08:11.461-04:00Maria, re: Dakota -- I'm assuming it's the...Maria, re: Dakota -- I'm assuming it's the heat. She was pretty calm during Wednesday's agility, too. She's having ... er... loose stools (there, that sounds fairly polite) as well. This morning she was much more perky, and she's never been off her food. Hopefully she's feeling better (poop problems aside).<br /><br />RE: DD -- I was a packrat up until I got married. DH is so incredibly anal about "stuff" that I really wasn't allowed to keep things because he'd nag (and nag, and nag). So, I'm sure DD gets it from me. She's also incredibly sensitive and emotional, so I'm sure that figures in to the fact she's so sentimental about everything.Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-70778018117339494242010-07-23T08:03:03.246-04:002010-07-23T08:03:03.246-04:00Mary and Chrystal -- I love FlyLady, but have gott...Mary and Chrystal -- I love FlyLady, but have gotten away from using her ideas. It's funny you mentioned her, though, because I'm printing up a calendar with the different areas to work on each month, and have a few "fling boogies" scheduled!Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-26974892742008181702010-07-23T07:53:17.886-04:002010-07-23T07:53:17.886-04:00No need to put me in for the book.

Is she eating okay?<br /><br />Ref: DD, hoarding<br />Don't kids tend to collect stuff anyway? I seem to remember I held on to the most ridiculous things as a kid, but as I got older I was less sentimental. I am constantly purging, which drives my husband crazy.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-43735673059117592112010-07-23T07:28:12.986-04:002010-07-23T07:28:12.986-04:00I would love to be entered to win a book. :)
Oh a...I would love to be entered to win a book. :)<br /><br />Oh and I love watching Hoarders too. Fly Lady is a great inspiration of how to get your place in tip top shape but in baby steps as to not overwhelm people. I love her.Chrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960209705110683101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-30917381077406446412010-07-23T07:20:27.829-04:002010-07-23T07:20:27.829-04:00I don't want to be considered for the book, bu...I don't want to be considered for the book, but what I've been trying to do this summer is a Fly Lady suggestion--get rid of 15 things in a room each time you clean it. They don't have to be big, but 15 things. Some rooms are easier than others!MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.com
