What is a babymoon?
OMG, thank you for all the words of encouragement - it’s greatly appreciated! I feel I performed well, well enough to make it past the gatekeeper and to have a conversation with a second person. Yay! And Elaine, I am raising my mug of tea to you as I already prepped it before I saw your sweet note.
Best wishes for good health to all!
Great job on your interview. I’m sure the rest of the process will go just as well.
The Evernote is example is SO useful! Thank you, I'm going to do that this year!
I’m glad I could help. This processs is soooooo helpful to me. I hope it works jut as well for you!
I'm still playing catch up, this thread is moving! But to go back to the dieting challenges and the sugar cravings- oh, I can relate! I started getting vitamin B12 shots and it's amazing how I don't crave it. I actually was thinking about ice cream last night, convinced myself it had been a long time, just a small bowl. I made it, took two bites and it was not at all satisfying. I gave the rest to my son
In the realm of handbags, I think I have officially hit burn out. I need to sell/unload about 10 and have no desire for replacements. I want to live more minimalist, less stuff makes me feel better mentally. I am going to try the 10 in 31 challenge this month, I need to rotate more.
We’ll definitely cheer you on as you work towards your minimalism.
I am not a traditional minimalist by
any stretch but, I’m moving more and more towards my own version of minimalism. I’m going through every room, nook and cranny of my house and getting rid of anything I don’t
absolutely need unless it’s in a few selected categories that are our passions. So for me that means my wardrobe (inc. bags), jewelry and books are safe as are Mr. S’s wardrobe, accessories (watches / cufflinks, etc.), and his books. But, I’m literally getting rid of all other extra. For example, I don’t need 5 different cookie sheets, 6 pair of scissors, an upstairs and a downstairs vacuum cleaner, etc. etc. I have a soft blanket “thing” and have them in closets or cute storage “bins” all over the house. The bins and extra blankets are going bye bye. I’m also finally going to scan all my files so I can reduce document storage.
And, even in the “safe” categories we are taking the same approach I took with my bags. If we aren’t using / wearing them, the items need to go. The one exception is the books. We each have a few collections of special books or series that we are going to keep even though we aren’t actively reading them.
But, extra hair brushes and flashlights? They gotta go!
I just feel better when I don’t have extra stuff. I can feel the presence of things I don’t need and it’s oppressive.
yuk. I will join the weight loss group here. I can live without bread but have a weakness for dried fruit ..have to give that up .goal is -15lbs
