Now, there’s an aspirational photo! 🙂

Hi everyone. Well, I just spent the weekend, one, going to a book fair on Saturday at the University of Maryland on Maryland Day. And it was really nice. It was, well, it was a little chilly, but it was really nice just to get out and see other people and be with other authors and with other University of Maryland alum. So that was nice.

Me, at the Terp Book Fair on Saturday, April 25, 2026!

And they had pizza and stuff for us to eat and coffee to drink and tea. So it was all very nice. They had fruit, they had salad. Anyway, I won’t go on about that. I did sell a book, which was kind of nice. Technically two books, I think. Although I had a problem with the QR code situation. I don’t know how these things work. I mean, I was trying to figure it out before I went and I was just not quite … Something wasn’t working.

I thought, okay, does it automatically put in the merchant’s code? Is that the way that works? I don’t know.

My Mid-June Update

FYI: This was obviously recorded earlier than the date published here. Thank you!

Hey. Yes. Hi. I’m going to try to sit up straight here. Yeah. I am in the midst of reevaluating how I’m doing this month. It’s June, the middle of June. Pretty much. We’re getting to the middle of June. It’s the 10th, right? What day is it? Is this a weekday? I dunno.

My (Hellish) Organization Project

01/09/2024 by Debbi

I don’t really have New Year’s resolutions, but I do have a tendency to measure my progress by the quarter and the year.

Right now, I’m in the process of cleaning so much crap off my computer, it’s simply ridiculous. You would not believe how much time it takes, especially after years of creating files. Plus, I have an unhealthy tendency to hang onto things long past their expiration date, so to speak.

That’s what I was doing yesterday. So imagine my surprise when I ran across this article while doing research.

Guess I picked the right day to get started, huh? Unfortunately, Rome wasn’t dismantled in a day.

Cleaning off this tiny spot in my home office. (This is an old photo.)

Here’s how to observe the day(s).

My Book Review of ‘Organized Enough’

03/21/2023 by Debbi

Hi, today I’m reviewing Organized Enough by Amanda Sullivan. Yeah, I really like this book. Organized Enough: The Anti Perfectionist’s Guide to Getting and Staying Organized. I like this because it’s a very forgiving book, but it gives you the bottom line in terms of what you should do to get organized and stay organized. And basically what it comes down to is habit-forming. You form a habit, you stick with it. And keeping track of things, too.
