Papers

Man the amount of papers! I think I have made it clear here in my blog, Yes the one I rarely post in, that I am a less is more kind a gal. That also goes for papers. This weekend we had to do our taxes. (We are self employed and filed an extension) and my goodness the amount of papers I had filed. So, in order to rid ourselves of some I called everyone and said please do NOT send us statements or bills. Please email all that to me. And I got rid of lots of papers. Then this morning I was working on my grocery/costco/walmart list and I wrote down a 3 ring binder to buy to print off all the email things I get that I love and want to save. Hmm. Yes I stopped myself crossed it off and said you know I will make a file in my email and save them there. They will be with me wherever I go and I won't have one more thing to keep track of. Yes, I am in a fall cleaning mode and stuff has to go. Less needs to come in. Are you a saver or a less is more person?

Thinking

I know I am a horrible blogger. I actually think of things to blog all the time but never get around to it. Now that my youngest is in school all day though I don't have an excuse. Yes I am filling my time. However, I am in no way busy. I have time to work out. Wander through stores and just look. Look through my boards at all I have pinned on pinterest. We have tried some new recipes. Some good and some are no longer on my board. But that brings me to my thoughts for tonight. When you moved out for the first time, yes I would say college would count, how did you decorate? My little sister just moved out. Her and her roommate are coordinating things and making it look so cute. All kinds of pinterest ideas in there duplex. So here is my question. Are you just a decorator or not? I remember my first apartment. We bought a used couch and table. I bought cheap silverware and all that and took whatever freebies I could get. I think my mom gave me a few towels and we just mixed and matched. I don't even think we had pictures on the wall. Fast forward to my life. I have a style. It is called relaxed/ modern/livable/craftsman. So basically I decorate very simple. I can't have to much stuff. It may sound weird but it causes me anxiety. I love pinterest and all the ideas. But other than the recipes and some of the kid crafts not much of that stuff will ever be done in my home. I love my matching couches and recliner. I love my modern looking tv stand. I love that the only pictures on my walls are of my family. So, I think I am just not a decorator. I know what I like and it isn't that. I love having a clean and tidy house and don't like having projects all over. If I start something I will finish it very soon. Would love to hear your style and if it has changed as you have gotten older and as your situation has changed. Just my thoughts for the night.
