OK I'll start!

My inbox still regularly gets up to 1,000 messages so I am working *very* hard on organizing and streamlining my mail stream, and asking others to help with things. My aim is to get this under control soon smile

The sweepstakes area needs to get caught up, that's another priority.

I need to get the social networking sites (MySpace etc) caught up with friend requests.

I want to finish my latest Weddings & Courtships: Native Americans book and sent to the publisher.

I just submitted my romance novel to a publisher. So I need to track that and submit elsewhere if I get back a rejection.

The house is really a mess smile I need to choose one room and get it organized, in a way that will stay organized. Then repeat smile

I have several pending origami orders which I need to get through and send out.

I want to make sure I exercise daily and get down to 130.

Bettyann -

Awesome!! You're a remodeling whirling dervish!! I wonder if you could write articles on your remodeling and get those published? People are always looking for remodeling tips, especially in our current economic climate.

Did you want any help editing your nonfiction book? I bet several of us would be happy to read through a PDF version of it and help you spot typos and that sort of thing, if you wanted some help! We can definitely help with the ebook side, we have a whole step by step course on how to do that smile

Let us know how we can help out!

An excellent book I read lately (and then bought) is Janet Luhr's Simply Living Guide. Yes we have heard it all before but it is an excellent reminder and has really good, practical suggestions too. I refuse to get caught up in what we call at home "The Great Hamster Wheel of Life" LOL! I have an old house too, and five wonderful, aging pets -- you just do what you can, as you are able to. Doing one room and then completing it Lisa, is awesome and will bring massive benefits to your peace of mind. After I organize even a closet I keep dropping by and admiring my own work and feeling good all over again! :>

Sue you are SO right - I spent several hours and got my bedroom clean (it was a HUGE mess). I felt so wonderful afterwards!! I highly recommend the one room approach.

I have put Simply Living Guide on my list! I'll check Kindle later tonight to see if it's there and if not I'll Amazon it. Thanks!!

What are your short term goals for yourself?

Stephanie -

Wow that is AWESOME about the weight loss!! 65 in one year is a good rate, that's just over a pound a week. We can definitely help you do that! Post updates in the weight loss forum (or the low carb forum if you're low carbing, we're always happy to help) and we can give you kudos and encouragement smile

We definitely have writing forums to help with your book too. If you post when you get stuck or make progress we can cheerlead you along smile

I am all for organizing your office! I had my darn office all clean and now it is a pigsty again. I will be working on this soon, once I get a few more easier / upstairs rooms done.

Write down your list and post it! It really helps!

Well it took me three years to lose the 70 lbs lol

One issue that has popped up is that I have a pinched nerve in my sciatica or whatever you call it.

I'm ashamed to see my desk right now lol. The reason my computer probably crashed had to do with DUST build up and a clogged fan. lol
