December 2: Declutter Your Closet, Declutter Your Life


Today is December 2nd. We have 23 days until Christmas and 29 days left of 2017. We are going to try to accomplish something different every day this month. It's the first Saturday of December. Happy Saturday! I want you to get some relaxing in today, but first: I have a task for you!

Today's Task: Clean out your closets! I want you to gather all clothes you do not wear, shoes you do not wear, anything with unintentional holes in it, anything ripped, anything too small or too big, and grab all miscellaneous items that you no longer use/need. Throw away all the ripped and the like! They belong in the trash, not your closet!  Anything that is in decent condition: donate it! Donate it to your local women's shelter (or just a shelter or good cause in general). Ask friends if they'd like to look through your stuff. De-clutter your closet!

If you declutter your closet, you declutter your life.
- Dori McDonough

Obviously, I don't know if anyone else has said that, but it works for this very situation. Now go drink 8oz of water, stretch those muscles, and declutter that closet! Do your bedroom closet and any other clothes you may have (walk-in closets, bedroom, bathroom, guest bedroom, towel closet, etc.)

In my house, we have about eleven closets! ELEVEN! I'm probably going to spend a little bit of time today dealing with just closets. But it's a step in the right direction... right?

May 2018 Television Cancellations and Renewals

So I decided to take a break from blogging about cancellations and renewals, especially since the summer doesn't have a lot of those. So I'm lumping together May, June, and July into one blog post. As far as Summer television, the only thing I've really been watching that's "new" is The Proposal and Cloak & Dagger. Both are okay. I'm not obsessed with them. Anyways, I'm dying for the Fall premieres to happen. I miss my stories. Renewals Tangled: The Series (Disney) - Season 3 The Rain (Netflix) - Season 2 The Expanse (Previously Syfy, now Amazon) - Season 4 Baskets (FX) - Season 4 The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon) - Season 3 Empire (Fox) - Season 5 The Good Fight (CBS) - Season 3 The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu) - Season 3 Westworld (HBO) - Season 3 Siren (Freeform) - Season 2 Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (ABC) - Season 6 Lost in Space (Netflix) - Season 2 Gotham (FOX) - Season 5* Lethal Weapon (FOX) - Season 3 The Blacklist

2018

I stopped blogging. I stopped blogging.  I stopped blogging.  I wanted to. I just couldn’t bring myself to. I couldn’t find the words to say. I couldn’t find the time. That killed me inside. I love writing. I love expressing myself in this way. Even the television shows I used to love and blog about weren’t what I wanted to express.  I was busy in the last half of 2018. I had to find myself again. I took the longest break from blogging that I have probably ever done. But that’s okay. It’s okay to focus on yourself. To stop doing things that require time and energy to be the person you want to be.  2018 brought a lot of new and ended a lot of old. When I started the year 2018, I was a different person. I was depressed. I was sick. I was in a marriage where we both were not happy. I was spending my time between WVSU, doctor’s offices, and home. It was a constant struggle. I was losing weight. I wanted to die. I didn’t want to go on and live through the rest of the year. I felt

Ugly Sweater Secret Santa Christmas Party 2017

Image
I want to take a moment to really appreciate the humans in this photograph. Oh, and Bandit, who is like a human but is clearly a dog.  On December 9th, I threw a Christmas party! I was really excited about it. Obviously because I love party planning and human contact (sometimes). I really like holidays, even though the days surrounding them seem to be questionable. Regardless, I figured a party would cheer me (and everyone else!) up. I invited a butt ton of people, but only these (+ my mom) came. And that was okay with me! I made some new friends and it was rad!  The Ugly Sweaters were bomb. I was actually incredibly impressed by the variety of ugly sweaterness that entered my home. A few were really really ugly (Looking at you, Syd & Brandon). Asia won the Ugly Sweater contest though! I wish I would have gotten a picture of it because she definitely deserved to win.  We did Secret Santa as well. It was hard because most people didn't know each other or only kn
