i am tragically behind and struggling with my inner quitter. I had a fender bender last week and have been stressing out about repairs, rentals, and the looming deductible to be paid.

On the good side, we got away to San Diego for a couple of days and have returned a little more inspired. My aunt and uncle have done a lot of work to their place since I lived there and gave me hope that I can make things happen in my own place. We also had a chance to go to the Container Store where we checked out closet organizing systems and got a new shower caddy and laundry drying rack. Yay!

I have two days of my vacation left and am trying really hard to get back on track. I'm planning on checking out some paint colors for the living room and bedroom. I guess, even if I don't "finish," I know that things feel better here and all of the Small is Cool entries have really kept the cure on my mind, if not in action.

I too hate the feel of chalk and the sound it makes on the board. At work, we gave up real chalk a few years ago and switched to chalk ink markers. They are wonderful! The look of white or colored chalk without the yucky texture.

my boyfriend's brother set up a desk lamp on the floor, below it he placed a shallow bowl of water with borax in it. the fleas jump toward the light and land in the borax water. it worked wonders in their bedroom, if you have a small place it might work well.

i think i just found the solution to my headboard-less bed -- thanks! foam and straps sound easy enough, i bet i could make a sweet cover for it too.

i will admit that i have been a slacker about this. our condo's association has a blanket policy for the building, but the insurance on the stuff inside is our responsibility. i've been putting off for 6 weeks now. thanks for the reminder!
