I know I do, but I just need a new place to put all the stuff. I know, its wrong in so many ways. I always feel great when(rarely) I clean off lets say the dresser or the tv or the buffet(you get the idea) It looks great. I always want to go to the next area. But the problem is.... while I AM throwing stuff out, I am also "boxing" stuff that I cannot seem to part with. I mean I might really need ------(fill in the blank) someday. So things just tend to move to the next area. Unfortunately my Garage is becoming the next 'black hole'(thanks for the term Rachel) My wife can barely fit the suburban in the garage. Many a person has almost needed search and rescue. And the worst of it is.........I know I have something I need....like for tubing last night.....but because everything is stacked everywhere I cannot find ANYTHING, except everything I dont need or needed yesterday. Sorry for commenting so long....Face it I need help (hey, maybe MY next blog entry?)Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010309680686614368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-87934632648038564592008-07-24T13:05:00.000-06:002008-07-24T13:05:00.000-06:00Ha ha!

And, that's funny what you said about the kitchen island. <BR/><BR/>We just moved about a year ago into a house with a huge kitchen island. I was so excited! SO much counter space!! <BR/><BR/>And, it is ALWAYS covered with stuff. <BR/><BR/>Right now, it has first off, the beautiful bowl of appealing fruit, partially covered by last night's shopping bags, my purse, baby wipes, the baby bouncy seat, mail, my cell phone, hand sanitizer (of course!), some diapers, and some new knobs and handles that I want to install on the kitchen cupboards and drawers. And, this is on a relatively good, clean day...<BR/><BR/>I'm going to clean it off right now.the dutson fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999066005989835060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-76456170671480942292008-07-24T12:52:00.000-06:002008-07-24T12:52:00.000-06:00I love the sign.
