Deep Cleaning

I don't know why but I have the urge to clean and get rid of some of my excess around the house. When I get in this mood I go with it. So far I've cleaned, organized and shed stuff from two of the bedrooms. Threw away magazines from 2006 and started a Goodwill box. I'm the creative type. I was a girl scout leader and mom to young kids for so long that I can see multiple possibilities in junk. I need to get rid of these things. I like to pretend that my husband and I are moving to a chic downtown condo. All this stuff that we've collected over 37 years isn't going to fit. I do like the look of an uncluttered house. It makes my mind serene and we all need that.

I haven't been writing down what I've been eating this week and that leads to me overeating. Hopefully I'm back on track. I'm trying out drinking a Vinegar Tea at night. I use to do that regularly but quit for some reason. Oh I know - it TASTES and SMELLS like vinegar!! It's supposed to be good for you and my grandmother actually used this and she lived to 92. So we'll see.

It was warmish and sunny today so I took the outside lights and decorations down. Seems a little sad now that the holidays are over and the kids are back to their lives.

If you haven't seen Avatar go see it. I would highly recommend seeing it in 3D. Totally awesome. As Jeri, my friend, said, "It's a visual fest for the eyes." I agree.
