Is Jimmy Hoffa In There?? Marie Kondo to the Rescue!

Hey everyone,

Hi, I'm Tracey and I'm a slobaholic. I've always been a slob, but an organized slob. (Okay, denial isn't just a river in Egypt.) When I got sick a few years ago, my slobbiness (is that a word??) rose to a new high, or shall I say low. I got used to things being messy because I just didn't have the energy, physically or mentally, to give a shit. Hot Husband took over most of the household chores and I helped as much as I could. (I know, he's a saint and hot!) Well, that pesky tumor is gone and it's time to get "my rear in gear" and "get'er done" and any other catch-phrase I can think of that means "get your shit together, Trace!"

Since I am on spring break and have successfully spent the last week working on that permanent body imprint on the couch, it's time to do something productive. I have wanted to do a major overhaul of my bedroom for a while. When I was Sick Tracey (aka SickT), I spent a lot of time in bed when I wasn't at work. I want to take that SickT bedroom and make it a FabulousTracey (aka FabT) one! (Of course, Hot Husband will have to give his approval, too.) I've been reading the book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and I am ready to kick some clutter's ass! Or shall I say, joyfully declutter my house.

Now I usually make fun of people that get excited about how to fold a sweater (it's just the way I roll), but this beyotch has it goin' on! Below is one of my favourite YouTubers, DoItOnADime, with her overview of the book and the process:


I will take some before/after pics and film some videos, but just wanted to check in on here first. Anyone want to take this challenge with me?

Til next time,
Tracey (Who puts things in brackets waaaaay too much, but it's what's rattlin' around in my head, people!!)
