A big Thank You, to all who responded to my concern about the, "post divorce guest room" in my home.
I am copying and saving your comments and will re-read them for motivation and inspiration.
Just as in, "Eating an elephant", I will take on this task, "One bite at a time".
Thanks again for your supportive comments and suggestions.


How Not to Be a Hoarder

Since my divorce three years ago, my once lovely guest bedroom has become a catch all for everything! You cannot see the queen size bed for the piles of storage boxes, lawn and garden bags full of clothing, books, toys (my daughter is now 11) also must step over things on the floor--there's not even a path anymore.It stresses me to see it. I'll feel better when it's cleaned.I think my #1 problem is laziness -- after a stressful day at work (age 50, low pay, fast pace job w/ 2 very young, "catty" co workers)--I'm exhausted and turn a blind eye.#2 - I have an inward fear that I will "need" something after I get rid of it and #3 - I want to make $ selling some of those things (mint toys, nice clothing), but haven't done it yet.
Would you guys consider this the beginning stages of a mental illness?

I'm making pesto this weekend and will try some of these tips. I used roasted pine nuts the last time and it was fabulous. I'm curious to taste it w/ the raw nuts to see which I prefer.
Also bought them in bulk @ my local grocers...bet they weren't Italian.
