HOPE AND FAITH...in my blogging and organizing abilities

    So, I've been thinking about how to make a good and instructive blog and what I'd like to have in it.  I think I'd like to put out there all the stuff that I look for in a blog:  Marriage advice, parenting tips, good recipes, homeschooling idea and resources, how to live as cheaply as possibly, how to get out of debt...I've been thinking about how to structure it all and learn to blog and link and the whole nine yards!  I'm one of those people that has at least ten-thousand articles on making household cleaners, and I keep the ones that don't work for crap...why do I do that?!  I also keep old magazines and TV guides..I can't think of more useless things than old magazines and TV guides, but there they sit in stacks, waiting for nothing.  I have at least a hundred books I love but haven't read in years.  If I really feel like I have to keep them, I should at least box them up.
    I'm a big reader.  I love to read and reread the classics, except Ernest Hemingway...and John Saul.  ( I dont' know why, but their books seem like they will never end or get to the damn point already! )  I have at least four old, worn copies of Little Women, but I haven't read it in three years.  But I don't have any of my Laura Ingalls books, and I'm always trying to find them for my kids and I to read!  If I don't start getting my house and life organized like it used to be, and better, I'm going to sink under all of this stuff that I never can find a use for! :)
    So, in the spirit of full disclosure, I confess to you my brothers and sisters, that I am officially a MESS!  And something has to be done about it soon.
     Step one in the process of organizing my home:  Download ebook formats of all of my favorite books and put them on a flydrive, so I can read them anywhere, and get rid of all excess copies of books. One bookcase will be enough for me, and should be enough for me...what am I doing, Hording fuel for fires?
    Repeat step one with cookbooks. No one needs five Gordon Ramsay cookbooks just because he's a hot, muscled, well-built man who can cook.  I have one of those at home, and he doesn't require a three-berry couli for cheesecake!
