My house is all in one piece again. You can't even tell where the hole was in Jones' room and the floor only looks different from the rest of the house if you know to look for it. My dining room is a dining room again, with a slowly refilling china cabinet. (I'm getting a great workout carrying my china and glasses back up from the basement - you can only safely hold a few things at a time, so lots of trips.) As part of moving Jones back into his bedroom, I'm requiring him to make a decision about every.single.thing before I put it away. The amazing part of this is that my hoarder has finally let go of some of the random art work and other stuff that had been in his room. I wouldn't call him a minimalist just yet, but his room will … [Read more...]
Random thoughts on a Friday
I just ran 7.4 miles in my VFFs! Longest run to date. I have a dumb phone and texting is difficult. However, I am currently texting Emz during her 24 mile run.

Go over to RunEmz for details and donate while you are at it. Conversation with Shoo last night - S: Mom, did they shoot off fireworks when I was born? Me: No. S: Well, why not?

TTT: Run EMZ, Rainy run, packing
I feel almost like this should be a "One Thing Thursday" because #1 is so important. If you read nothing else, read that and then go donate and give EMZ some support. 1. Tomorrow one of my favorite bloggers, Emz, is running a 24 hour treadmill run to support the Sojourner Center, an organization that provides shelter and support services for victims of domestic violence. This is an incredibly important service as one out of every four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. That's a huge number! And it's awesome that Emz is using her amazing ability to run on a treadmill to help support this cause. So, hop over there, give Emz some love, and drop some money in the donation box. 2. Yesterday was a client run … [Read more...]
