Poor Barnum was pissed at me last night... dragged him into the bathroom and gave him a good scrubbing. Now he smells like Pantene

He's having a good week because "his daddy" has been home sick - mind you, do you think my dog makes the most of it? Nah, he slept ALL DAY yesterday, only waking when his momma came home

I've spent the last two afternoons cleaning my bedroom which means moving stuff so I can clean and then moving it to a new spot (because I'm trying to improve things) and now every muscle aches. My goal is less clutter but I have too much stuff. I have some stuff to take down to the trash or out to my car for the recycling center tomorrow but there are big "wet paint" signs on all the gates. I guess that means I should take a nap.

I can't talk myself into getting rid of the bicycle even though I haven't been on it in many years. And I moved the keyboard to the closet even though I should just give it away. I don't even know what I did with the power cord. But I like thinking that I might start bike riding or pull out a music book again.

The worst thing though is my books. I love books. I have too many books. Books are heavy and they take up so much space and bookshelves are hard to keep clean. But I love my books.

Keep your books and make friends with clear storage containers. You can box them (and other items) up and still be able to find them easily.

I also love the Space bags (the ones you vacuum the air out of) for blankets, bedding and pillows.

Break your habit on the books. Best thing I ever did (there was a time when it felt like I could compete with a small community library).

Of course, I don't know for sure what you mean by "too many books." When circumstances dictated that I liquidate my personal library I was approaching 15,000.

No such thing as too many books.

So... I should keep my collection of trashy romances?

Sure. If you enjoy them.

I have a habit of not keeping old paperbacks. Mostly because they don't hold up well.

I had a bunch at one time. At my kids' elementary school there was a bookrack in the teachers lounge. I asked if they would like some paper backs to add to their offerings.

The kindergarten teacher said they weren't quite proper but to just turn them around.....
