Humor me please and finish the sentence. :lolabove:

I'll start.

One of these days I'm going to actually get around to making some of the recipes I've been so faithfully clipping for a million years.

What's on your "wish list" of things you're going to do? I need to know I'm not the only one out there unfulfilled desires (I still don't know if I should go for broke and put my recipes out there in the recycling bin or hold out for a better, more gastronomic future :blink: ).

My eyeballs aren't awake. I first read that you want to LAP dance and play banjo.

Yes, I have a banjo, but I have no talent in tap dancing or banjo playing.:wave:

Just read this. Great minds think alike!!!;-)

Get all of my photos organized and in a book or box. At this point it seems soooo overwhelming.

hmmmm......can't remember

:clap:...I can see NoHall and me in tap lessons together. :floor: Hey...NH, when you figure out the sleep thing...please share! :wave:

You'll be the first one I call when I figure sleep out!

Kitty, NoHall, I swear, I always wanted to take tap and ballet too. When you were a kid did ya'll ever get those metal heel 'taps' that made your shoes last longer? Nice tap sound, huh? I remember once in 2nd grade, my fave teacher, Mrs. Green had to ask me to please quit tapping. :blink: Have ya'll seen 'Happy Feet' yet. Doesn't it just make you~taptap...tap,tap,tap? :wave: Me too. :D

I took CLOGGING when I was a kid. I was pretty terrible, but I thought the shoes were the coolest thing in the world! I'm a repressed drummer...

Also, do ya'll know how to surf yet? After dance class, can we learn together, okay? Nohall, I had to laugh at your '10 things' cuz I can eat me some chocolate and like frisbee too. No I'm not an ultimate player but that would be funn to learn too ;-). Someone should make a chocolate frisbee then you can get chocolate energy while playing. :biggrin: Maybe not too aerodynamic... :roll:

Hop is working on my surfing.

I can eat chocolate during any activity, and I've proved it over and over. Kids come to auditions for me with chocolate in hand because they know I can be bribed.

Drive cross country.

Only if you have lots and lots of time. I end up driving cross-country on the spur of the moment or on buses with a bunch of kids...

The first time I did that with my family, I threw up on my brother in the middle of the night in a hotel somewhere in the Northwest and didn't stop until we got home. (Stomach virus.)

:floor::floor::floor: The first time I read this, I thought you said LAP dancing with a banjo! Now that's creative!!!!!

I didn't catch that Kitty was tap dancing, either. I also saw "lap dance" and didn't think there was anything unusual about it, except that it would be crowded with a banjo...:idontno:

Oh I can so relate, mine are everywhere. :floor: Along with the rest of the clutter.

ditto here. Overwhelming is an understatement. My son will be gone before I get around to this.:roll:

1. have a clutter free house
2. exercise
3. start playing the piano again

IBD, I have been decluttering my house now for a month. It took me a LONG time realize that all the "things" I have been holding on to for all these years were weighing me down. I am a very, very sentimental person. I felt guilty getting rid of anything that was my mother's or my grandmother's. I have come to realize that it is not their things that I need in my life, it is just the memories of them. I have kept a few little things that I have put up. I think they both know that by cleaning out my "stuff" I can be free'er. I have to tell you when I look aroung my house now, I do feel free, lighter and much happier. You can do it too. I have faith in you!!!!!

One of these days I'm going to?????

Eat healthier (again), and exercise on a daily basis. Someone please kick my arse and make me do it!!!!!!!

KDW you hit the nail on the head. It is hard when there is a memory with everything that you have, but I have to decide on what is the best memory item and go from there. I am sitting here typing with boxes everywhere...:roll: The problem with my house is that there is not ONE storage closet. :shock: I want to refuse to giving in and paying for a storage unit. Thank goodness for Real Simple, I have seen some good info in their magazine...

Clutter...:bang:. However, one small victory for me...I just recycled about 200 catalogues and found the kitchen counter and table. Mr. K leaves all of this for me, because he can't throw anything away. :roll: Next, I am contacting all these companies and asking them to stop!

IBD, I don't have alot of storage space either, but let me tell you something I did. I bought some of those plastic storage bins that are not very deep, but they hold a lot of stuff. They have wheels on them and fit perfectly under beds and you can't see them. This might be an option for you. Another thing I did when I was de-cluttering (I learned this trick from the show Clean Sweep) I got three big boxes and put them in the room I was working in. One was for trash, one for keep, and one for give away. It makes it so much easier. As soon as I filled up the give away, it went to GoodWill, so I was not tempted to go back through it. Once it was gone and out of my house I felt better. Just an idea fo you. I love Real Simple I have a subscription. They do have great ideas in that magazine. Just take it one day at a time, one room at a time, one box at a time. Good luck to you.

Mermy, sorry to hijack your thread with decluttering talk!!!

Stop caring so much about what other people think of me and eat all the brownie batter instead of making the brownies. :biggrin:

Are these two things or one? And, yes, it does make a difference. :wave:

Take classical piano lessons again. Took lessons for years when I was growing up, but it has been so long I vaguely remember anything.
