Dressers
Have 2 dressers completely empty of stuff, been sorting through things for a garage sale, did dishes, scrubbed cat puke spots, made garbage, and priced many items. Tried to nap, but only rested, as there is a lot of noise coming from the car place that backs up to my apt. Came across more photos, makes me miss my kids even more—really nostalgic today, and need to keep reminding myself to stay in the present moment! Back is sore from being down on the floor so much, but more rest should help.
Much more to go through, I want to start fresh when I move to Tampa, with very little, to bog me down. I would like to bring my cats there, they’re family! Will evenbtually have a big sale, and sell of most everything, except for the antiques. Hope to make some decent money?!
I need to quit smoking, too-to save $240.00/mo–just wish it wasn’t so hard to quit!! The money I would save would come in pretty handy for when I move!

Hey! You back on Xanga now? Cool!
Maybe moving will be incentive enough to quit smoking. I know it is hard to do but if you make up your mind to quit , you can do it! Good luck.

Hi!! Good to be back, how are you?!!

Thank you, I need to remain positive that I can, and will quit–Tampa is in the offing!!
Good for you Laurie…I always think it feels so good after stuff is cleared and cleaned out.
If you move to Tampa, you’ll be near my neck of the woods!!
You can do it…quit smoking …one day at a time.
They tell me it’s harder now, than when I quit cold turkey on Sept. 6, 1977, because the cigarets are more addictive now. They say.
Anyway, here’s how I did it, in a blog written about seven years ago. (If that link doesn’t work, I’ll try again. It might be on a private page.)
The link works, but “here’s how I did it” doesn’t show up very well, until you hover your mouse over one of those words.
Quitting smoking in NYC is around $330…which is about $4K a year
Clearing out the house declutters the mind as well as the space. I do it twice a year, spring and fall. It’s amazing how many “essentials” you can do without, isn’t it? Good luck quitting smoking. I know it’s hard but it’s so worth it. Nancy

Thank you! I am still de-cluttering-lots to do…
I know it’s been a while, but if you come back around, just know you’re thought of. Best warm wishes for you, Laurie!
