Hi Diane, Thanks for your warm welcome and good wishes. Louisiana? Randy Newman sings a beautiful song about Louisiana, but that would be off-topic...
I sometimes wonder whether I'm in the right group. Some folks are stressing about trying to clear stubborn spots from the inside of their ovens. I am so mired in trash that it looks as if I'm living in a dumpster! It doesn't help being a leisure journalist, because folks send me press folders, videos, files, releases; all off which keep accumulating in the most noxious fashion. Because I don't share my huge apartment with anyone, there's no one around to chastise me and keep me in check. Grown men, as you know, are just little boys with with drivers' licences. In the back of our minds, we seems to be saying to ourselves: "I don't need to sleep early any more because there's no one here to make me." And the same applies to being tidy, and other such grown-up disciplines. My trash has multplied around me like The Blob from outer space! I also have very little leisure time each day, as I work long hours, and spend most evenings at launches, premieres and such. My clutter has truly reached the stage where it could be clinically labelled "dysfunctional", hence my questioning whether I am indeed in the correct group. I could take some digital pics around my home and e-mail them to the group, but I suspect that the poor group members will flee their computers in terror! Nevertheless, here's a little motto that occured in my untidy brain the other day: "Throw away - every day." Since then, I've made a point of scouting around and just tossing "household garbarge" out whenever I have a moment to spare. I've come across empty shampoo bottles in the bathroom, boxes and containers of things I've used that were just hanging around the place; that kind of stuff. It may be a drop in the ocean, but a drop is better than a drought!
