Weight: 1 lb

Method of Disposal: Donating (Come on!  You know someone will buy one as a joke for a friend!)



I was just over at my dear friend, Tracy's, house helping her sort and get rid of books and clothes.  Last year she asked me if I might be interested in reading The Happiness Project and, while I did not particularly enjoy the book, when she mentioned each of us doing our own this year I decided to jump on board.  I focused on health and fitness in January, and I am still working on it.  I have incorporated some routine into my regular life and have signed up for two 5 Ks!  This month I am focusing on organization.  All day I worked on my own and then went to Tracy's to hang out and work on hers.  Don't tell anyone, but I might have taken home some books...I know, I know, counterproductive, but I cannot tell you how many I left!

Any who, I need to clean up and clear out, as I am hoping that the most Lovely Harriet will be coming to live with me soon, and I am sure she would be quite distressed if a bookshelf collapsed on her like one did on me about a month ago.  I am sure she would be horrified/disappointed to read that I chose to get rid of Spice Girls books in honor of her coming.  Sucks to be British in America, aye?

It is amazing that I still have these books--or not since I seem to say that all the time about assorted books and, clearly, I have a problem.  I would just like to point out, for the record, that the Spice World one is from their tour and my first ever big concert.  That's right.  I just came out with it.  Ginger Spice was my favorite, and she quit the group within a month (s?) of being in Atlanta.  Talk about sadness!  I was overwhelmed.  I even told a news reporter on my way in.  I was way too old for that shit, and my supportive buddy, Noelle, knew it and creeped away rather quickly.  Anyway, Girl Power, Friendship, and All that Jazz!

Cheers to a cleaner, more organized house and dismantling the eclectic library!

  2. "Girl Power, Friendship, and All that Jazz!" -- my new mantra

    Agreed that the Happiness Project sucked, but loved the concept and love that you are doing it! Maybe that will motivate me...

    LOVE YOU SO MUCH

  4. "You can look up to them and they have girl power!" Remember when Girl Power was a popular marketing slogan? Le Sigh.

    I love that you got sidetracked while documenting your greatest ambitions.

    Also, do you still have that Spice Girls tableware?
