Oprah knows best
I watched Thursday’s Oprah in which she had on Peter Walsh, Master Organizer. He associated a cluttered house with a lumpy butt. I enjoyed the show and decided that the mom in the family needs therapy. She seems very overwhelmed with life and Peter did a good job of linking that with the absolutely chaotic state of her house.
He asserts that dumping weight from your home will help you lose weight from your body. I tend to agree.
When your living space is cluttered with stuff, you’re mentally overwhelmed. You don’t know where to start and even the smallest tasks seem unsurmountable.
Knowing that, my parents should lose tons of weight after losing the below “house weight:”
I CLEANED HOUSE! I’ll have more pictures in a few days, but the 1-800-GOT-JUNK people are coming today, so I had to cull all of the departing junk.
The purging itself was exhausting. I carried tons of stuff upstairs from the basement. What will add to the workload is that my parents had their entire upstairs repainted while they’re gone, so I also have to rehang all of the pictures. I’m hoping to get the decluttering finished this morning so I can shop this afternoon/evening for different pics 
Kind of a way to christen their new look in the house. New House, New Pics
The rehanging should be a breeze since I have the Black and Decker Gecko, which is the best tool for hanging pictures:
Alright, the day is young and the work is plentiful! I’m off!
If you throw out that rocking chair, your life isn’t worth a plug nickel! Otherwise ~ have at it! My place is next.
