Been so busy!

Being busy really isn't an excuse for not posting, I guess I just haven't made it a priority.

What have I been doing to declutter? Well, I have been posting things on eBay and also found another avenue...amazon.com. Ok, it's not like I didn't know it existed, I just hadn't tapped into it. I have now items listed on there and can't wait to see how it goes for me!

They have this program called FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) where you list your items, send them to their warehouse where they store and ship them for you. Of course there is a fee for all of it, but I'm willing to find out if it is worth it for all the inventory I have cluttering up my living space! I've even taken items off of eBay to post on Amazon.

Fingers crossed!

Words of Wisdom?

Oh, the delay in posting. I've been really busy and was going to go out of town tomorrow so was trying to get things caught up, but all plans had to be cancelled due to a death in the family.

A few days ago while I was at work (which is in a house), the lady of the house was cleaning things out. She is a person who likes to de-clutter on a regular basis. Her house is so nice to be in, it's large and not cluttered. There is actually room to walk around without bumping into anything! Honestly, I probably know where things are in her house, better than I do in the house I live.

One day maybe I'll post some pics of what her pantry, fridge, cupboards, etc. look like.

The reason for this post is because she said something that stuck with me. I'm sure I've heard her say this before, but she said, "There's no sense on keeping this stuff if nobody is using it." She threw out a perfectly good dry erase board calendar.

Let me tell you, I was soooo tempted to say, "I'll take it!" when she asked if I knew who could use it, but the better part of me took over and I didn't say that! How many calendars does a person need? I have a pocket one I've been carrying in my purse to keep me on track, the one on my laptop, another in my Blackberry, and a larger one that I thought I would use...and don't.
