Responsibility can bite me
My cheque came in yesterday’s mail. I have decided to go with the most responsible choice and use it to help pay down my credit card. I’d really like to get it paid off as soon as possible, and this will get me moving in the right direction. I have plenty of money saved for […]

Help me decide!
When I get my $100 cheque from the government sometime soon, how should I spend it? The options are: Be a good grown-up and use it to pay down my credit card. Add it to my Portland fun-money. Use it as it’s intended and buy something “green” for our household. Get a pedicure and a […]

TGU: Wow.
Weeks after I had intended to do it, I’m tackling the office for The Great Unclutter. Oh my lord, it is going to be a big job! Everything that doesn’t have a home seems to end up in here, as well as a few boxes that haven’t been unpacked in ages. Like, since I moved […]

All-star
In an effort to get healthier, Adam and I are trying to get out for some sort of exercise in the evenings. A while back, he bought us cheap tennis rackets on a whim. He hasn’t played tennis since… Grade 6? … and I’ve pretty much never played. We went and hit a ball around […]

Calm
Now that I’m back from mini-vacation #1, a crazy busy week in Vancouver, and a trip home for Father’s Day, it’s time to buckle back down with The Great Unclutter.

Do I ever have news!
Well, I’m back from mini-vacation #1, and I have lots to talk about! First of all, the biggest news – I’m engaged! Adam proposed on Wednesday night, and we are both so happy and excited. It was very unexpected, totally sweet, and completely “us.” Now I get to start thinking about planning a wedding that […]
