New Things, New Year

In the past month alot of things have happened, changed, talked about, etc.
Instead of going into details about some sore subjects. This is some of what happened, and is going to happen.

I didn't list anying on ebay the whole month of Dec. because I was simple burnt out from it.
When you feel ebay is taking over your house,
and you feel the presure that you HAVE TO SELL it does not make it fun any more.

Dh and I have agreed that from now on,
if I at least sell a few things a month that is good. I can list what and when I want, less pressure= less stress for me.
(Also more time to coupon, and save our family more money)

We have also decided to take back our house.
Clutter and "stuff" for ebay had taken over.
Which in turned caused alot of stress is our marriage. An it never seemed to get better.

So in 2008 we are going to declutter the whole house, and basement/garage.
Already started on this, and hope to make some real progress after the new year.

I say, simple life, less stress, more time to enjoy the life and the ones you love.
No amount of money or number of things can or will ever make you happy.

Some things I did today to get organized are below. (pics included)

1) Wrapped the remaining gifts I currently have for my family. (Our Christmas party is 1/20/08)



2) Clean off and sort the coupons on our side table.



3) List something on Craiglist. Money to go towards our winter fuel fund.
