The big challenge now is to get rid of all the stuff we have around that we don't use and don't need.

Flying (Grudgingly)
I've been feeling frustrated with clutter for quite some time now. I finally broke down and tried out Fly Lady, which several friends had recommended to me. The fact that so many people were telling me that I "just had to try this" made me reluctant to check it out. I know-I'm stubborn like that. Still, I signed up. I must say that sometimes the purple and pink theme and cheesy names for things (super fling boogie? rubba scrubba?) make me roll my eyes, but the concepts of doing projects a little at a time, and creating habits to help you stay organized are exactly what I need. The daily flood of email can be overwhelming, but the messages are so positive that I have to smile. The other day I gave in and shined my sink.

Hmm...I hadn't heard of that web site, but it looks intriguing. I have the hardest time keeping up with clutter and maintaining a good cleaning routine...probably because I end up spending most of my free time reading blogs. ;)
Good luck with the program. If you like it, maybe I'll give it a shot.
Too bad I don't get paid for all the time I spend cleaning & tidying up. What's your favorite fly lady trick you've learned?
I really like Fly Lady, when I'm focused. I'm not at the moment. At all. But you knew that :) I have the book she wrote. I MUCH MUCH prefer it over the flood of daily annoying emails. You're welcome to borrow it if you'd like. It's the one called "Sink Reflections". And NICE SINK!!!! I have a picture like that on my blog somewhere :)
