Still Here

I've not been blogging as much lately

because I'm still engaged in a cleaning

and organizing process.

(Have to admit, this is the longest

C & O binge I've ever managed.)

Fee calls it a compulsion.

And it really has been.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how 

much time I've spent lately in this process.

For example, in the kitchen, 

I've emptied every cabinet, purged & discarded,

cleaned shelves, and washed every item

to be replaced.

The same with every drawer.

And the pantry.

I usually quit after a couple of drawers,

but have compulsively continued.

Two Possible Reasons:

1) I can't quite get back into crafting and

creating at the moment, so I have
extra time on my hands.

2) If cleaning is a compulsion, then my 

recent fascination with cleaning tips

on Pinterest and elsewhere has

become an obsession.

No one is more surprised
about this new version of me, than me.
Well, my husband may be more surprised.

I have put out a few Valentine decorations.

Added a lavender scented
sachet heart
to the Victorian baby shoes.

And I'm reading, of course.
In between cleaning out cabinets, etc.

Recent books that I've enjoyed,
but haven't reviewed yet:

The Thief of Auschwitz by Jon Clinch
The Twelve by Justin Cronin
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.

I'm almost through reviewing books
from last year on my book blog.
Soon, I'll be able to review my
more recent reads.
