So many people are blogging their goals for the new year this week. I wonder if I should do that. I posted my goal for weight loss at the top of the homepage with a ticker. But there are others--so many others. I hesitate to post them, or even voice them, since I know (from past experience) that most of them won't happen. But, heck, here goes anyway. Maybe posting them will help them happen.
- LOSE WEIGHT and get healthier. (This one includes better diet and more exercise.)
- Get my entire house organized.
- Stop saving little scraps of cloth and bits of paper that I think I might use someday.
- Stop buying so much fabric and art supplies. Buy things as I need them. (Now see, I know that's not going to happen. But I'll leave it on the off chance that it might help.)
- Throw away or donate things that I know I'm not ever going to use.
- Pray daily.
- Spend more time in my sewing room/studio than in the kitchen.
OK, that's seven--a good number. And actually, these are all the areas that really need changing in my life. I guess everything else is oki. I think the most important ones are #1 and #2 (2 actually encompasses the next three, I think). Sorry, God, I know that #6 is actually the most important and that that practice will help me with all the other goals. So I guess they're all important, even #7, which will keep me away from food and doing stuff I love to do (which is good for the soul as well as the heath). Am I rambling? I feel like I'm rambling.
This morning, I woke to the sounds of a thunderstorm (which I love as long as it's not a dangerous one). It's still stormy here in north central Alabama. Vann has gone with his friend Jerry to Anniston, and I'm going back to the kitchen to finish what I started yesterday. It will be the first room organized in 2007. I've filled two boxes and three large bags with giveaways and throwaways just from the kitchen. Today I wash the curtains and decide whether or not to donate all those cookbooks that I never use (Southern Living Annual Recipes collection). I could put them on Ebay, I bet.

Skip eBay. By the time you pay the listing fee and then deal with the hassle of shipping them (if you get a buyer), you are better off donating them to a local charity. Ask me how I know.
