I'm eBaying today if I have to stay up all night. Because I've been TOTALLY LAX in the de-cluttering department. In fact my birthday money is sending things in the completely wrong direction and I need to purge some stuff to make up for the "birthday presents". Yes, it is total rationalization, but I don't feel like a cheater when I spend BDay money to buy something. I'm also hoarding the $$$ in case a nice pair of Christian Louboutin shoes appear somewhere for $20.00. Not likely but a girl can hope.
Earlier today I went to a "Social Media" presentation for a marketing forum. There was a lot of talk about Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media. It is such a buzz topic and frankly, I'm kind of sick of it. Things aren't the only way to clutter your life. As an example, my father died a year and a half ago. After he retired, he and my mother served a voluntary mission in the Philippines for their church. They were there for three years and in charge of a couple hundred men and women in their early 20's. Since he passed away, someone made a Facebook "tribute" page to him, which is sweet and sentimental. However, some of their former missionaries are now trying to link to me on Facebook. When I visited my parents in the Philippines I met a handful of them. But most of them trying to FB me I've never even met. My life is so full of e-mail, text, twitter, facebook and so much mind clutter that I think maybe I'd better throw all of it out along with stuff that is going on eBay, going to the Salvation Army and being given away. It is driving me NUTS! I don't want to be mean, but who needs all those friends. Not me, I can barely handle the ones I've got.
