Hello Large & Lovelies,

I hope you're enjoying winter. I really thought we were going to skip it this year. Wishful thinking I guess.

Since it's the beginning of the year, I'm in the process of sorting, organizing and my favourite... minimizing. No, I'm not on a diet. I'm getting rid of things around the house that we haven't used in the last 10 years. Love it. I recommend trying it. This weekend I got rid of a rocking chair that's been taking up space in a spare room. We can't believe how big the room appears now. The other big item we got rid of this weekend is the closet doors in the main entry. They were a couple of large sliding doors. It's really opened up the entrance way (now, I have to rip off the old paper and paint inside it!). What did I do with this stuff? Freecycle. You post stuff you want to give away (clothing, furniture, books, etc.) and people will come and take it for you. It's environmentally friendly and free. You may even find something to fill some of your spaces. Here's a global link for it: http://www.freecycle.org

I added a bunch of new coupon/sales promotions to the forum thread so be sure to check it out, it's stickied at the top of the L&L forum (link below).

Have a great week!
Moe

Your Inspirational Quote

"If you want to live a long and healthy life, you don't need some fad-diet-guru-optimization-lifestyle book to tell you how, and you sure don't need Fat!So? to tell you how, either. You already know the answer. It can be summed up in four words: Eat right and exercise. That's it."
From Fat!So? by Marilyn Wann
