I'm sure I've talked about that I'm - shall we say - a "bit" of a TV addict. The boob tube is on pretty much on all the time, whenever I'm home. And I've talked about a few of my favorites, NCIS, The Closer, anything on TCM, ESPN, etc. But over the last several months, I've discovered a new favorite, and would like to take this opportunity to thank HGTV for bringing it to me. My new show is - drum roll please - "Holmes on Homes". It's this Canadian contractor who goes in and fixes another contractors screw-ups. His motto is "Make it right." He's buff, he's blonde, he wears overalls, and he knows how to use tools. Why wouldn't I want to watch?
If you've been watching Netflix much lately, you've probably seen the new series "Tidying Up", with Marie Kondo. She's an expert in cleaning, tidying, and storing stuff, and her method is quite inspiring. I enjoyed the show so much that I ordered her book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up", and spent several days trying to get my house more in order. Not that I'm a hoarder - I have a basically tidy home. But the Kon-mari method teaches you to look at your belongings and ask yourself if each particular belonging brings you joy. If it doesn't, it's time for it to move on. I went through all my clothes first, followed by my books and DVD's, followed by the office, followed by the kitchen and laundry room. Whatever didn't bring me joy or a happy memory went into the pile. And when all was said and done, I ended up taking an entire car full of stuff to the local Deseret Industries, to hopefully be re-purposed for someone else to find
