Safeway Monopoly – LEVEL UP!!
I write this on Wednesday 2/20/2019. Safeway Monopoly started Wednesday 2/6/2019. So, two weeks in, I feel emboldened to discuss the whack-your-head-with-the-iron differences in the game this year. You’ve still gotta buy stuff and win paper sets. One side is still all the little slips that will litter your house for months. The slips still yield…

I’m proud to announce I’ve added a new page to the website: Hoarding Resources. Please share it with anyone you think might need it. And I’ll be adding to it whenever I find something worthwhile.
Read MoreI ain’t worried about this weather – I’ve got my High Road Organizer gear
Yes, alert – commercial coming, because I receive a small commission for every sale of High Road Organizers products which results from a click off my site. But I endorse these products because they wear like iron. I’ve had three of their basic black door-hanger trash bags – those are technical terms – in my car for…
Read MoreAaaaannnnd what do you do when you’re snowbound?
Tinker with your website. Find the typos, realign the spacing – curse being old enough that the typing convention was two spaces between sentences, not one, and now it’s one – add some verbiage here and there. CABIN FEVER.

My part of the world saw an average seven inches of snow on Monday 2/4/2019. My part of the world doesn’t know what to do with seven inches of snow. Lots of cancelled work. Lots of idle time. Another 4 – 6 predicted by tomorrow morning, 2/9/2019. More on Tuesday 2/12 and maybe again 2/14.…
Read MoreSafeway Monopoly – Surprise!
Safeway Monopoly started Wednesday 2/6/2019. Which I discovered 2/5/2019. NOOOOOOOOO. I thought it started next month. I haven’t had Spring Training: no run through all the aisles to remind myself what’s where; no eating down the staples. No making room for the frozen pizza. I wasted a purchase when I bought the chocolate on 2/5…
Read MoreTour a Recycling Plant
How’s this for the ultimate reduce, reuse, recycle? Take a tour of a recycling plant! I had no idea this was possible. My thanks to The Woodinville Weekly, for its February 4, 2019 page 5 article, “What happens after the bin? Behind the scenes at the Recycling Center” giving us a glimpse behind-the-bins at Waste…
Read MoreNo escaping. No escaping.
Today has not been a great day for many of us in the Seattle area: snow, cold, resulting accidents, power outages. My professional society had to cancel tonight’s meeting, which is achingly disappointing because the speaker, Marilyn Paul, was one of our most-anticipated of the year. And now, as I try to chase away the…
Read MoreMarie Kondo on Netflix – WHY AREN’T HER CLIENTS GETTING ALL THE CREDIT?????
OK, yea, I know. I caved. I couldn’t stand the buzz, the increasing allure of the discussions pulling me back to my college dorm days when my friends and I would stay up all night discussing the world’s weighty topics… And so I binge-watched all eight episodes in less than a day. And I…
Read MoreI’m going to call it…
“The Kondo Konsequence.” I’m quoting an email I just got, leaving out the name of the shop to protect the innocent. “At Capacity Wow! Everyone sure has been cleaning house! Due to an overwhelming amount of consignments coming in this week, and being short-staffed we won’t be accepting consignments the rest of this week. Next…
