I actually off-loaded about 40 books--a world record for me. <br /><br />I like how your goals have several exceptions--I think I will be much more successful if I allow for exceptions. For example, as I just related on Dr. Write's blog, I have a goal to chat more with acquaintances and strangers. <br /><br />With my HTM insight I can list several exceptions in an attempt at having a good year. No chatting required if...the person is talking loudly, says positive things about Bush, seems mean/in a bad mood, asked me for a favor and/or talked for 10 minutes straight the last time I talked to them... Well, maybe I better make a goal to only have three exceptions.Counterintuitivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137134752919050468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-44745284554172018412007-01-28T23:32:00.000-08:002007-01-28T23:32:00.000-08:00ii was skeptical upon first reading your resolutio...ii was skeptical upon first reading your resolutions. But it seems like you have thought this through and are holding fast to it. Ironically, I was thinking about one of these upcoming weekends trying to plan a lisa/diane/abby gettogether of some kind. Perhaps we can put the clothes shopping back on the rack, as it were.

I wish I had a huge closet so I could buy a bunch of organizers to organize my stuff. But instead, I should probaby just give stuff away.<br />Good for you HTMS! Middlebrow and I just bought some books. But maybe I'll try it, the no book buying thing (except AWP of course). <br />As for clothes, I really need some.

But it got me thinking. What could I quit buying. Buying becomes a habit. . . . .<br /><br />--I just discovered a wonderful site. Freecycle. You can only give things away. I tried it out and it works. I offered a computer desk and a chair--and within 2 hours I had 4 volunteers in my own neighborhood, willing to haul them away.<br /><br />--I'm coming up on a wonderful miracle: 3 months of family leave and my daughter comes to live with me. A hidden agenda. Simplify. Get my house under control. Haul things away. Give things away. <br /><br />I'm thinking that reading, driving, hanging out with my daughter, will keep me away from the stores.SusanShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965733461636067163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-80100308474105649602007-01-28T15:15:00.000-08:002007-01-28T15:15:00.000-08:00Excellent resolutions.

I also know, from experience, that's it's easier said than done.
