My mom used to work at a clothing store called Miller Brothers on Kings Highway in Brooklyn.  Are they the same ones as in DR Laura's dream?

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I allowed myself to sleep in for a bit.  Alas, the radiator had another bout of knock-knock-knocking last night which woke me up, but I feel rested and non-sleep-deprived, so...

And while lounging in bed this morning, I came up with an easier and less "dismantling" way to get my shelves set up.  It was one of those "DOH!" moments.  I was originally going to dismantle one set of shelves completely, then move the new set in its place.  But then I realized that I could just slide the old shelf forward, place the new one in its old place and then just transfer the contents of the shelves from one to the other.  -And I won't have to worry about trying to find free floor space to place the CDs and books during the "transfer".

And like bk , DR George, and others here on HHW, I just have to way too much stuff.  And I must whittle down my belongings.  -And like other DRs, I've been going through this process for years now.  So, maybe we should all form a pact of sorts, or even have a contest to see which Hainsie/Kimlet can de-stuffify first.

I watched the Superbowl last night. Not really too exciting a game. But my brother-in-law organizes a pool, which makes it more exciting. Everyone ends up cheering for the scores they have at the end of each quarter.  All i have to say is why couldn't the colts have tried to scrore a touchdown in the last minute. They could have scored if they had tried. But no, they just kept downing the ball. They owe me $50! :)

As for the commercials, my little niece megan was transfixed by the beer commercial with the dogs. She loved it.

The one with the 2 guys biting the hotdog/sausage and then kissing was so silly. And then they were so embarrassed that they pulled off their chest hair!

There were a lot of animated coke commercials. And many budweiser commercials.  There was a funny one with a guy having a beard combover.

Monday morning greetings!  Our thermometer in the sun reads 0o at the moment - hope that doesn't mean it's really 10  below!

Today's my day off and it would have been lovely to sleep late on such a cold morning.  However, back in August I made my 6-month dental check-up appointment for 8:45am today.  It must have seemed like a good idea at the time...Anyway, I received a clean bill of dental health.  Now, I have some errands to do, but at least I convinced my 88-year-old mother that she has no business running around in the cold with me.

...And I also have to say that I'm almost in the mindset where the only belongings I have are the ones that are in my room.  Nothing in storage.  Nothing in the basement of my parents house.

And after doing some "math", I'm pretty sure that once I get all the new shelving set up here, I will still have a number of boxes of books, music, papers, etc., that are not "up and out".  -But at least stored neatly under my bed.  But it would be nice to get down just to the basics as it were.   -At least until I get my own place.  My own bigger apartment.  ;)

*DR elmore and I have a mutual friend/colleague who has one of the neatest, uncluttered NYC apartments I've ever seen.  And not really that big an apartment.  Roomy, but not "big".  Everything he owns is there.  And when it comes to his clothes, everything is one dresser and a small closet.  So, whenever he buys a new piece of clothing - t-shirt, jeans, coat, etc. - he gets rid of an "old" piece.

We have a new EVERYTHING tonight. We're in sweeps month, so no reruns of shows in their original timeslots.

CBS debuts a new comedy tonight at 9:30 (RULES OF ENGAGEMENT), but I'm not interested in it at all. When THE CLASS finishes its first run episode order, OLD CHRISTINE is going to move into the 8:30 time period for awhile.

I was overall disappointed in the commercials last night.  The only one that I felt was funny and surprising was the Grand Theft Auto guy going nice in one of the Coke commercials.

And one last thought on de-cluttering...

I did a quick read through the new organizing book written by the guy on TLC's "Clean Sweep".  -I read it at Border's - it really was a quick read.  He does a nice job getting to and through the emotional attachments people have to their stuff, their belongings, their junk.

His number one rule - well, one of them at least - is "If you don't have to room to store it, then you need to get rid of it".  And another one is something along the lines of, "If you haven't used it in a certain amount of time, then you don't need it.".  -Of course, I'm paraphrasing.

I liked this one hint for decluttering your desk area and kitchen gadget drawers:

Place all the gadgets in a cardboard box on the floor by your desk, kitchen drawer.  As you need and use a particular item, take it out of the box, and place it out of the drawer.  Whatever is left in the box on the floor at the end of a month... ditch!

Then you basically do the same thing with cookbooks.... Place a Post-It note sticking out of a book when you use it... Any books that don't have a Post-It note sticking out of it after a year...  Etc., etc., etc.

That was no dream - you HAVE been invited to be in a melodrama and you will be playing the Miller brothers and you will get hanged at the end.  It's called Plaid Hangings - I'm quite looking forward to it.

DR Jose -- cook books should NOT be ditched if you haven't used them in a month.  Books should be treasured, measured and used as needed...even if it's years between openings.

I'm glad the Colts won the game yesterday.

I'm not particularly impressed with the game, however.  It was lackluster and dull.

As far as MVP goes, I'd have given it to the Colt defensive player who made an interception and scored a touchdown.  THAT was the play that made the game for the Colts.

As they said when Manning was named, any number of players qualified.  That Manning played respectably was apparently enough to seal the deal for him.

He's a great quarterback, don't get me wrong.  He was just okay yesterday, though.

I just got home from birthday festivities out of town with Greg's parents and visiting two of my Turner clients. Now I have on Puppy Bowl III on Animal Planet. It's half-time and the kitties are eating tinsel. That's making me a little nervous.

The puppy eating the little bell on a toy made me nervous.  Keith refused to watch 3 hours of puppies & I only got to watch a minute of the kittens & 15 minutes of the puppies.
