Plus, beside my desk on the floor sits a cardboard box full of stuff I removed from the top of my desk last month fully believing that it would serve as impetus for full-fledged organizing. I have even begun a second blog basically about clutter searching for inspiration. All in all, I have no excuse because my life is tame and boring compared to yours. Which is one reason why I'd prefer to read your blog than look at my junk!<BR/>G'luck on that amazing-sounding job.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-12054725811177852362008-11-14T09:37:00.000+01:002008-11-14T09:37:00.000+01:00I went hunting;“Chaos is the score upon which real...I went hunting;<BR/><BR/>“Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.”<BR/><BR/>~Henry Miller.<BR/><BR/>Your "tune" is interesting indeed :)Mark Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322306919563155381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-73429371713849813932008-11-13T22:42:00.000+01:002008-11-13T22:42:00.000+01:00Thanks Kat, I hope to know soon :)And thank you fo...Thanks Kat, I hope to know soon :)<BR/><BR/>And thank you for the solidarity on the clutter but it was making me insane.
