An early birthday shout out goes to my pinkest of pals, Pinky Lovejoy, whose birthday is tomorrow. We met when we were assigned to be Visiting Teaching companions, visiting Inge and Amy. And here we are, still hanging out all these years later. Not only is she a most generous friend, but she knows more movie stars than anyone I know. Happy Birthday Pinky! Love you!
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
