FRUSTRATION!!!!....

I WAS DETERMINED TO UP-DATE THIS BLOG AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK...

if only to maintain the discipline and record of this project.....

Well..now 11 days since last blog--August 14.....

I still have 7 more catagories of stuff to get-out-the-house IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE CHALLENGE GOAL OF 50....and..."FIND MY LIFE"

Well...the 11 days WERE productive in completing quilts; adding to "inventory" for the first time selling of quilts at a Christmas Crafts Fair.

And....I KNOW I was NOT idle....however-- no sure accounting of how I did use my time productively..if that were even a tiny bit interesting.

So..no promises....I"ll aim for the best.

so getting there......I will check to be sure...

Items..out-of-house: Formal stationary..and forms for the County Grand Jury....California has by Consitution a CIVIL Grand Jury system...each Jury impanneled for one year...

I served three years: 2001-02..2002-03 and 2005-06....which means this 'stuff' was on my office shelf for at least 4 years...

Good!!! Goood!!! Progress!!!!!

Friday, August 6,2010...Year 1..Week 11--Blog 16...Day 75 of 5840

Unbbelievable!! almost TWO weeks since last blog....

I had hoped to do better than that...

however..two things: LIFE HAPPENS...and the focus of my attention has been on quilting...

So..follow that adventure on: quilt-stashproject-2020.blogspot.com

I do have thoughts on how to possibly get-rid-of maybe 1000 perfectly good drink straws....

and I will make phone calls when I get home..to see if that is possible.

...and also hope that somehow..Project Distribute--2026 CAN progress..inich-by-inch if necessary..while the Quilt/Stash Project-2020 takes presidence..for next 3 months..

Ever onward??? YES!!!!

Thursday, July 15, 2010..Year 1...Week 8--Blog 14...Day 52 of 5840


I started Project Distribute-2026 sometime in February,2010; I started this blog May 25th.

In Blog #2--May 27th-- I mentioned professional organizer, Gail Blanke (May-AARP Bulletin) and her book: "Throw Out 50 Things: Clear the Clutter, Find Your Life".

As "emphasized" several times: I DO NOT have clutter; and my closets, cabinets and drawsers ARE neatly organized, I did "discover" EXTRANEOUS STUFF...

and thus was inspired to take the Blanke challenge, starting this blog to document my progress....and "Find My Life"????

By Blog #11--July 6th I had documented 17 catagories of extraneous stuff--out of house.

Then, came the Community Flea Market--July 10th and on July 12th (Blog #13) I documented 24 catagories of stuff..sold!!!

So as of July 10th the total number of catagories meeting the Blanke challenge: 40

Then, yesterday, July 13th...two more catagories of STUFF-- DISTRIBUTED:

1. A package of 15 personal grooming items delivered to an agency serving the homeless ( Beautifully packaged hair brushes and combs from upscale hotels in Japan).

2. 10 recent magazines delivered to local library

So..Total 42 items.............WOW!!! only 8 more and the Blanke challenge completed.

This is turning out to be an adventure...Ever Onward

Good Distributing..
