Great resolutions! I need to add some organization resolutions to my own… I don’t have a basement, but I definitely have a difficult time managing clutter. Thanks for sharing these– they’ll inspire me as I come up with my own :)

Hmmm…maybe we should write a 12step program for pack rats. Pack rats anonymous here we come. You have already made it to the first step by admitting the problem…lol. See you at the next meeting :-)

I’ve been reading your journal for so long, and I’m finally posting a comment to say, “happy new year!” and “thank you” because I’ve always found humor and inspiration here. - Mia

I’m with you on the belly thing. Some parts of my body are not supposed to jiggle when I jump up and down! I’ll call it body clutter, and maybe I’ll work on letting it go.

As for the boxes in your basement, it looks like some “Fling Boogies” http://www.flylady.net/pages/FLYingLessons_Decluttertips.asp are in order. I’m doing the same myself this week.

I just realized that our basement is starting to look like that, too. But then again, as students we’ll all be moving out in under two years.

Resolutions #4 and 5 are particularly relavent for me, too!

Oh, and I wanted to let you know the sheer amount of chocolate baking I did over Christmas… after the truffles there was: chocolate chip cheesecake, french silk pie, german chocolate cake, and two-tone chocolate chip brownies. :)

Hey, my mom’s boyfriend has an airplane in pieces in their garage… and it’s been there that way for the entire 10 years I’ve known him.

HIS reolution is to put the dang thing together this year.

YOURS seem more realistic! Good luck, and thanks for your blogging in 2004!

Now don’t you feel good? Setting goals makes me feel so–organized. Which I’m generally not. Happy New Year!

That’s what MY basement looks like!
Yay for your goal Jon! You’ll reach them I’m sure of it.

I wish I had a digital camera so I could take a picture of the 2 motorcycles, plus frame and engine of one being built, in our basement. I can’t complain though, at our old place that had no basement they lived in the dining room all winter.

You have some excellent and down-to-earth goals, Jon. I bet you’ll have the list checked off by this time next year!
