today i was having a "the house is a catastrophe of clutter" crisis when tashi said, come outside and draw on the sidewalk with chalk. and so i did. sidewalk-chalk-drawing is good therapy. we drew flowers and peace signs and animals and no more war slogans.
and then i came inside and cleaned out tashi's closet for starters. i found this cool three drawer flat wooden thing at salvation army, pink and blue and it slides right onto one of tashi's long closet shelves. just a little more storage space for too much stuff. clothes too small off to freecycle. winter clothes for next year in the plastic tub. games and puzzles rearranged. the dress-up basket purged of tattered items. and tomorrow the summer clothes will come out of the basement.
but that's just a start. so much more needs attention. my office. our bedroom closets. the living room. somehow our coffee table is clutter central and no matter how hard i try to keep it clear, every few days it gets piled high with newsletters, ranger ricks, stones and twigs and bits of bark, hair ties, pens, keys, coupons and fantastic drawings.
but enough about clutter.
we're going to have a robert altman festival here because i've never seen any of his films, at least, not that i recall. so dan picked up three today: mash, 3 women, and short cuts. right now he's off purchasing slices of cheese cake from a deli that makes killer cheese cake. i've been so good about my diet (yes! i've been on a diet!) that tonight it's time for a treat. cheese cake, red wine and mash. sounds fantastic, eh?
