OMG!!! Last night I went to a," Clutter Support Group". Yes, me a person who has been in need of clutter help for about 50 years .
It was really quite interesting. About 8 people all with the same problem. The leader said it is a "disorder" along the lines of ADD, ADHD and Asperbergers . Carolyn came with me. Actually she asked me to go with her. They said it often runs in families. Carolyn asked if you can ,"get over it". They said it is like alcoholism in that you can learn to control clutter. I want to believe this because it will make me not continue to think I am such a mess.
They mentioned a web-site, Children of Hoarders.com . Check it out.

Today I finished shopping for food for the weekend and toys for the little kiddies.
I have the pasta sauce cooking and will make the egg dish later today or in the morning.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Ruth Gordon is coming and will have a wonderful gift for me.
Can't wait to see Robyn and Steve.

It's interesting that there's such a thing as a support group for hoarders and the un-neat. I may need one for compulsives, although I've had the pictures I'm categorizing spread out on the dining room table for months.

Betty, who is Ruth Gordon? You don't mean the old-time movie actress who died years ago, do you? Hope not.

OMG....this is getting too interesting. First you go off with 'the Guy' and now Ruth Gordon.
Be sure to let us know just what this is all about.
