too many projects!

The shoe cupboard came. It is fancy and nice and I was calling it my birthday present because it allegedly was not going to arrive until February, (Max Mas, yay!), but it came early. Pretty, right? Yay! No more shoes in the entry hall! Also it better be pretty. It took four hours to assemble. […]

the great book war

I have books. Many many books. Not as many books as I used to have. I used to have 1,000 pounds of books. I know this because I paid to move 1,000 pounds of books one time. That was a lot of moves ago. It is surprising how many books you at one time thought […]

marilyn vs rothko

Art. It is a dilemma. The art is always fighting with feng shui too. The Marilyn and Rothko fight is about that. There is this spot of wall between two windows that is perfect for one big piece of art. The Marilyn piece would be perfect in that spot. So would the Rothko piece though. […]

sometimes emp sounds like a good thing

    I have boxes of documents. I mean, boxes. And more boxes. And more boxes. I have been paying storage or making storage everywhere I go, for years, to accommodate these boxes.   The documents are important. Contracts, quotes, tax records, clips — they are important.  But —   I keep carrying these damn […]

extraneous stuff ahhh!

  One reason I have too much stuff is, I move. A LOT. We’re talking lost track around interstate move number 10 here. Each new place has things from the last place that work. But also, things that do not. And — Each new place has… new needs. This is how I find myself sitting […]
