Here's to feeling less frazzled!

I hear you on the comments... I got a bunch (10!!!) on a recent post, and boy, was it ever nice!

A whole year...in a ROW? Yikes. You're a brave, brave woman, hon.

I hope you're out of your pjs by now. :)

Here's to simplifying! I am doing the same around here. Finally got rid of my prom dress, and I might clean out my book closet by the time the week is over. Whee! Happy New Year!

Hey, I'm right there with you on the simplifying thing. And the major decluttering. I know it's too much when it starts to bother me and stress me out - and that is not a good thing.

Happy Wednesday! (and of course Happy New Year, too)

2007 was insane for us. Strange, because I didn't work the last half of the year, but I still felt like there wasn't enough time during the day. I didn't like that feeling very much.

I'm a big proponent of clutterless environments. I don't have any knick-knacks in my house and I get itchy if I see something out of place (drives Bill absolutely bonkers!!). Anyway, simplification is a good thing! Keep us posted!!

I need to declutter in a big way, work down my stash and lose weight. Looking forward to your daily posts. I know you can do it- yes it is all about the connection.

8:30 am is still the crack of dawn as far as I am concerned! You are right, though, simple is better. When we try to do too much, that is when we get into trouble. At least, I do!

I was just upstairs telling Meg that if you have less stuff, it's less stuff to clean up! (The irony is how much of my stuff is in the way of her stuff... but I'm working on it.)

This is my big year of the declutter too.

Happy new year!

You can do it! I'll be right there beside you. Best of luck.

Happy New Year Sandy!! You can do it!
Cant wait to visit your blog every day:)

Oh, the fridge!! Garbage day is TOMORROW!! Thanks for the reminder.
; )

I can echo just about every thought you have here... except that 365 business. Have you joined the ABC-Along yet? That'll give you fodder at least once every two weeks. Play your cards right, blog the possibilities for each letter, and you could eke out a few more posts...

GOOD LUCK!!

An interesting pair of resolutions. Working together or in conflict? Time will tell!

:)

You go grrl!

Happy New Year! I tried -- and was relatively successful -- in simplifying in 2007. We purged a lot of stuff when we moved, and tried not to accumulate much more. And you're right -- it means lots less cleaning!

Happy New Year and good luck with both of your resolutions.

Happy New Year!!

Go Sandy -- you're off to a good start on both resolutions. Me, I just have "intentions" and "goals." Yes, I know they're enough, but they also have a big old built-in back way out!

Happy New Year, my Sandy!

You'll do great with the posting. Don't worry. Ya know, I really do think that life is better with less stuff. ♥

One day at a time; one drawer at a time... Keep the simplification simple. *So* looking forward to your daily blogging!

One day at a time, only ten minutes or so -- that's all it takes. Think about your post on the way home from work, and sit right down and do it while the soup is warming up. Or something. :)

I really need to work on simplifying, too. I'll be here to look for inspiration or maybe to just cheer you on. Happy New Year!

You're going to do great! And, simple is never a bad thing.

But, here, maybe this site will help

He talks about business things, but also about how to make life simpler....

One drawer a day or a corner or shelf. One spot a day and reorganizing, decluttering, simplifying is doable. Making it into a huge overwhelming project is the opposite of simplifying.

I'll be watching you everyday and cheering you on. You go girl!

Happy New Year, Sandy! I second the motion to clean out the fridge. It's time to get rid of that stuff that we've already had too much of and that stuff we *know* nobody is going to eat.

And did you stop to think that before the year is over WE may need medication? Hmmm? Love ya.

I look forward to reading your blog entries daily. You're the greatest! As to simplicity, I'm all for it! I need to declutter in a big way but will need the help of dh and dd! They are FAR worse than me and don't see it as a problem. :(
Sandee

the fridge is a great place to start. next, I propose the underwear drawer!

Happy New Year! Sounds like some fine resolutions, imho. I know I'll enjoy reading more of your posts.

Happy New Year!
I'm looking forward to reading your blog every day and seeing many photos of your sky!

Checking in on a break from cleaning my son's room, which was an absolute PIG pen. My 2007 was not great either -- nothing earth shattering, but uninspired nonetheless. I raise a toast to us for 2008!

Here. Have a ham bone.

One day down!
The fridge is a good place to start.
;-)

Good luck with your simplifying! That's a concept I hope to incorporate into my own life this year. And I look forward to reading "Sandy's Knitting" everyday. Happy New Year!

Your first resolution is mine as well, sort of...

Your second resolution is not something I would even try to attempt without first gaining some ground on the first one. I am too cluttered - in mind, body and home - to have the energy, desire or ability to blog daily!

I do, however, look forward to reading your post daily - as a distraction to my fulfilling my only resolution for the year.

Happy New Year! Excellent resolutions; just remember Res. 1 if Res. 2 is ever a soul-sucking chore for you. I will definitely stick around, read & comment, and I truly look forward to all of your posts.
