Hi everyone, How are you? Our week is off to a pretty good start so far. Yesterday's walk home wasn't nearly as long as I imagined, but it was still some good exercise. Took care of most of the errands, but there's a whole new list today. Of course, since this Tuesday, that means it's time for the weekly trip to the bookstore to find something new for BDH and Little Buddha to read. Wish me luck! The other big news is that the Clearing out the Clutter store is back, but it's only open until September 14! This excitement... Read more →

Fall is coming, so get ready for the colder temperatures with our brand-new Clearing out the Clutter sweatshirt! These are certain to keep you warm, but they're only available until September 14, so order yours today! Click here to order your sweatshirt! Don't miss out! Note: You can also support our coffee budget without buying a sweatshirt (although they're really cool, and you should buy one.) If you click on the above link, then select "buy/donate", you'll see an option on the next screen for making a donation only. Of course, you can also just select the "Donations" option in...

Hi everyone, How are you? This will be a busy week for our crew. We've got a long to-do list, and it starts with dropping off the car for some overdue work after we're done here. I only put that off for roughly the entire summer, no big deal. I'm trying to figure out if I can walk back from the auto body shop. It's a hike and a half, but it would certainly count as my exercise for the day. BDH and Little Buddha don't think that's a great call, so they asked me to at least write down... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How is your weekend going so far? No complaints on this end, although we're all a little confused by the fact that it's currently 58 degrees outside. What is this, the end of August or something? Also, where did August go? We were so distracted by the constant heat waves, we lost track of time a little bit. Other than that, things are fine. We've got a couple of errands to run later, but nothing too crazy. Now, let's take a peek at the news. BDH and Little Buddha made a fresh pot of coffee, so... Read more →

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! Any big plans for the weekend? I have some running around to do before I bring the car in for a repair on Monday. Other than that, nothing too crazy. We'll probably just enjoy the fact that the temperatures won't be in the 90's. Yesterday was brutal, but now it's a cool 77 degrees, with an expected high of 87. Sounds delightful. The only thing that would make it would be a cup of coffee. As it turns out, BDH and Little Buddha just made a fresh pot, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It looks like we're in for yet another hot and humid day today, with "real feel" of 98-100 degrees this afternoon. Oof. However, BDH and Little Buddha were just looking at the long-term weather forecast, and it seems like this might be our last day in the 90's for a long time. I'm not excited about the approaching end of summer/gardening season, but man, we could use a break from the heat here. Of course, get back to me in a couple of months when it's freezing outside. In case you missed it... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Is your week going okay so far? I struck out at the bookstore yesterday. There just wasn't anything that felt like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha, so that was a little disappointing. The guys said not to worry about it, and that we'll just try again next week. Those two are great at keeping a positive attitude about everything. They also want to give you a heads up that the Clearing out the Clutter store is returning next week, so keep an eye out for that! I see today is going to... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Tropical Storm Henri is gone. It turned out to just be some regular rain that arrived here last night, so that's good. BDH and Little Buddha were getting a little tired of studying the hourly weather forecasts by the end of the day on Monday. With any luck, I'll be able to reward them for their hard work by finding a new release at the local bookstore later this morning. Our schedule is little jumbled after that. Maybe we'll watch some more Lucifer while sitting in front of the fan because of this crazy humidity.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How was the rest of your weekend? Tropical Storm Henri didn't really do much here yesterday. There was some rain and wind, but nothing too crazy. BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to resume this afternoon, and there's still a flood watch in effect until tomorrow morning, so we'll see what happens. It's not that we wanted at all to be hit hard, but it's still somewhat of a weird let-down when little/nothing happens after all of the hype. However, this does mean I should be able to sneak in an errand when we're done... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just looking at the latest information for Tropical Storm Henri. It looks like things should be starting later this morning. Just a heads-up, Henri has some potential to screw up our schedule around here for the next few days, so keep an eye on our Facebook page for any updates between today and say, Tuesday. Hopefully it won't be an issue though. The birds were chirping a minute ago, and BDH asked if we should offer to let them come inside until the storm is over. Thankfully, Little... Read more →
