Did you make any Resolutions?

I have to say that since I NEVER stick to, nor accomplish any resolutions each year, I didn't bother when new years eve rolled around this time. I was so busy trying to get through the holidays with minimal fuss - that setting aside time to really think about how much I need to improve my life was, unsurprisingly, quite far down on the list. Then, I was surfing the web (actually looking to see what might be available for my new Kindle my husband got me for Christmas) and I saw a book had been written called Living Oprah. Now I haven't read it, and may or may not, so I have no comment, but it got me to thinking how I feel when She (i know I capitalized - wouldn't you?) does one of her change your life shows. Ones I am thinking of would be the debt diet, the one about the hoarders and that terrible one where the woman's husband kills himself and leaves her with all this debt she didn't know they had. Nightmare! I know I am forgetting episodes, but if you've seen these ones, you'll know what I mean. At the end of the hour you feel so jumped up that you are ready to grab a trash bag and start flinging. But then I realize i should probably go through the papers first and make sure nothing is important. I tend to leave stuff lying around in piles ... important... slightly import... not important... might be important... junk etc. And my husband will helpfully stack it all into one pile so we actually eat at the kitchen table... so I think rather than throw it all away - I should check the importance rating of each bit first. Then it's almost time for the kids to have dinner so I leave the piles lying around... and well, you know the rest! Will I ever get on top of paperwork? Thank goodness for online bill pay. Well, the bottom line is that I have decided (is that the first step toward clutter-free sanity?) that the less we have - the easier it will be to keep everything tidy.
So.. things to tackle (in no particular order):
junk mail, catalogs, subscriptions, photographs, finances (this is a biggie), kids artwork, clothes, pantry/laundry cupboards, bathroom cabinets (under both sinks), toys, LEGO (this is another biggie and needs its own category), books and bookshelves.
I'll wish myself luck. For 2010 I have RESOLVED to organize !
