I used to have TWO junk drawers. Drove me crazy but I couldn't stop putting stuff in them. Finally, I emptied one and put dish clothes in it. Worked like a charm!! :lol: Thanks for doing this, Halcyon! Wonderful idea.

I'm so glad you were all able to use it :D

I just did this and it works :D Go to Money Saving Mom's blog... https://moneysavingmom.com/2012/10/free-5-amazon-mp3-credit-still-available.html

I've got over 70 articles that I need to write for clients--do you like to write? :lol:

I use Panda for general protection, but the ONLY thing that stops me from getting computer viruses is Malware Bytes. Until I put that on my computer I was regularly getting viruses. One of my businesses is as a writer for online companies, so I do visit a lot of websites for research--maybe that is why I need greater protection, but I went from being infected frequently to no infections whatsoever as soon as I put Malware Bytes on :)

I've been slowly getting rid of things that I've held onto for memories. But as another poster mentioned--I will still have my memories. I don't have to have the actual items (CLUTTER) to remind me of those memories. My mom died a few years ago and I was trying to hang onto everything that I associated with her. It was so freeing to realize that those things are NOT my mother and I'm not going to forget my mother if I get rid of them. In fact, those things actually mad me sad when I would look at them. I would rather look forward-KWIM? Anyway, I know it is hard, but just wanted to tell you it's really okay to let them go and enjoy the space they will open up :)

I have thought of this a lot lately, since I have started my own businesses from home. I tend to be more careful about what I spend my time on and spend less time being idle or 'wasting' time. :)

Thank you so much for the recipe!! BTW--I have to have carbs or I do not have the energy to work out. I eat fruit and whole grains. My body simply doesn't function well without them.:)

I won't buy any but Jockey brand. Love them, and they have great coverage :)

We did a crazy (in my family) thing last year and went out to a restaurant for our Thanksgiving meal. It was glorious! :lol:

This sounds so delicious!! How do you make cilantro lime brown rice? I've got to try it :tongue_smilie: I love all the yummy ideas in this thread!

So glad to hear the good news! :grouphug:

I love lentils too! Beans and legumes are some of my favorite things to eat. I bought a couple of heavy-duty food thermoses/jars at Walmart, and sometimes I pack hot beans to eat out--cheaper and healthier than eating fast food! :)

Thanks, Shelsi. I am going to try these :)

I love beans too and eat tons of them!! :)

Do you just use canned chickpeas? I've never heard of doing this but it sounds yummy!

Yes, it sounds like you are not eating enough. Same thing happened to me. I sent you a pm about a couple of meal replacements that I use to help balance things out :) My friend kept telling me I wasn't eating enough. It seemed crazy to me! lol. I finally started losing weight once I got the nutrition part balanced.

:grouphug: You may not be eating enough food to lose weight. About how many calories are you getting each day?

I love what little Zumba I have done. Glad you got a great deal--I wish I could do it better :D

Do some work on an exercise ball? You can protect your foot and still get a killer workout! :)

Since I don't know what God has planned for my daughter, I want her to go to college so that she will be prepared to take care of herself in case God does not have marriage planned for her :) She fully intends to stay home and take care of her children if she gets married.

I hate suspense. I'll work on my home businesses and try to distract myself. :D

Yes, I have thrown out/given away TONS of toys--and I didn't even tell them. They seldom even miss them. I can't take it anymore! lol.:eek:

I LOVE my iPad. Love it. You won't regret getting one :)
