Hoarding

Okay, I was watching the A&E show "Hoarders" this morning and I find it very frustrating. It makes me want to go through my possessions and throw things away. The doctors and specialists who deal with these hoarders are so patient with them, but for the most part, it seems as if they accomplish very little. The hoarders have total control over the people who are there to help them, and they have to go through everything and touch everything and make a decision about each little object. Each thing they keep is so infused with meaning to them. Its like they are addicted to finding meaning in inanimate objects. I would be a terrible person to work with hoarders because I would end up screaming at them to get rid of stuff and throwing things away behind their backs. I know I always feel good if I have lots of stuff to take to Goodwill. But then, I am such a giver...hehehe.

I wonder, if you have a hot tub full of computer equipment, and more computer equipment in your shelves, stuff that you have not used in years and years...does that make you a hoarder? Hmmmm.

I am still working on crack filling and I did end up working on those rooms where I don't know if I still have the paint for them or not. I mean, they need to be done, why put it off? Every little bit helps, and it looks better than cracks.

Our JoAnn fabrics is closing which is sad and very inconvenient for someone with 10 dresses to sew. I remember when there were two fabric shops in town and now there will be basically none. Hobby Lobby has fabric but it is junk and I wouldn't buy it. It is like the W-Mart of fabric stores.
I may go to JoAnns to get some muslin today to work on Kari's dummy bodice. We are thinking about changing to the waistline so must try that on some other fabric first.

Make it work.
