One of those days!

Do you ever have one of those days where you have great aspirations to finally tackle that jungle that lives in your basement?  And this time you are GOING to follow through?  What's in the jungle you ask?  The boxes and "stuff" that you can't live without that has been sitting down there for 20 years.  Yes, 20 years!

Why, my family has been so gracious enough to burrow out a small path for me to walk through when I have to venture into "the jungle".  I have to side step the laundry waiting to be washed, the perpetual Goodwill pile that keeps growing daily, and yes, my abundance of books.  They seem to multiply almost overnight.  But that leads me to another small problem.  I am a book hoarder.  YES!  I AM A BOOK HOARDER!  There, I said it out loud,  I have books that I didn't even know I had and books I know I have, but can't find.  Oh the irony of it all.  If I would just follow through and finally tackle that "jungle" of a basement.  But I always seem to get sidetracked by that book upstairs that I'm in the middle of reading.  Thus the jungle must wait a little more.  At least until I have finished this book.  Yes, I am a book hoarder.

  1. Yes, I know the feeling - I'm getting good at disguising my hoarderness with books by now stuffing my Kindle with them! Great post!
