I haven't been visiting in a while (or doing much else) and I see you've been very, very busy. I look forward to catching up (but I never should have visited Smitten Kitchen. Too much good-looking food and a big grill I don't have room for either.) I have a friend who prevents clutter by getting rid of one thing before she brings another thing into the house. I like that in theory but can't seem to apply it. One thing that makes it easier to declutter is being forced to empty a dead relative's house (where they've lived for over 90 years -- yes, she was born in that house) and to help my parents' downsize. After a while all the stuff is just -- stuff. But if that's the case, why is how much I have determined not by what I need, but by how much storage space I have? The 100 things would be a real challenge if they included the stuff on the exclusions list. I thought everybody lived on chicken. Put enough glop on it, and it tastes like... chicken. Hey!
