hipmtfn: apartment therapy-ish

hipmtfn = how i pass my time for now

(repost from jan 24, 2009) ... this year i'll get past weeks 4-5.

...into my life and that is GREAT!!!

LAST YEAR ... just around this time, as evidenced by this post-gone-by, i began apartment therapy. (i don't quite live in an apartment, but that's o.k. - it's for the whole home/nesting kind of thing.) i managed to DRAG the SH** out of an eight-week effort, which i admittedly assumed 12-weeks would work for me sometime last year, into - oh ... say ... a year or otherwise known as 52 weeks.

it's the weekend ... and here i am, on a cloudy and mild northern california, bay area afternoon, inspired by a friend of mine who (as posted on her fbook wall this morning) is purging & cleaning. i talked with her also just to check-in and i'm even more excited about continuing to get the bits & pieces of my home life pulled together.

a few other motivators (and procrastinating by surfing the web) while considering my style (per this article)as a seeker, burster, and easy start of the day kind of organizer include ... posts and articles as follows:

• starting with the bedroom (and my guest room)
  
• donating/recycling home stuff
• dealing with books on shelves, floors, etc.
• retail therapy afterwards (or interim)

on the housewarming date ... will be (sometime in late april - after taxes, of course!). time to get started (again) and put this effort to rest in the coming weeks (at least the next 9-12 weeks - ha!)
