I've been moving some stuff around and decluttering, and I feel like it's shaking up stagnant energy or something. <br /><br />I'm so glad I read this post today because I just decided last night that I want to try out Kindle Unlimited, and I wanted to find someone who was an affiliate so they'd get the credit for me signing up! (I think I get 2 or 3 bucks when someone does, but I obviously can't earn from my own links.) It took me FOREVER to feel ok about doing affiliate links, too, mostly because so many bloggers use them in a gross way, like when they post "I am absolutely loving THIS SWEATER (link)" without posting an image so you have to click through if you want to see. But I feel like when you're recommending books to avid readers, an Amazon link is totally justified. <br /><br />TL;DR - gimmie yo link so you get dollars when I sign up for the thing!Crystal @ And Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205532702026984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-58061406447247219932018-05-15T12:11:29.693-04:002018-05-15T12:11:29.693-04:00Obsessed with your dogs.

LOL at the pugs. LOVE them the most. I think the shore is an excellent place to do life evaluation. I have zero tolerance for people who waste other people's time and I really don't understand that on the buy/sell thing. I LOVE that fear quote. Can we send it to all the trumpers and bigots who use fear as an excuse to mistreat others? sara [at] journey of doinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328180529729262449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-61203143294512387792018-05-11T13:25:49.425-04:002018-05-11T13:25:49.425-04:00I was totally in a life re-evaulating period this ...I was totally in a life re-evaulating period this winter and it was also pertaining to my "things" and "stuff". I got rid of SO much stuff that was just so "meh" to me and I just kept because I didn't hate it. and just like you I felt so much lighter in so many ways. <br /><br />I personally think we should all have frequent life re-evaulating periods, honestly. it's good to every once in a while stop doing what we always do and actually ask ourselves why we always do it. just my two cents. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04035385172218811225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-34515328261022686302018-05-10T22:00:46.195-04:002018-05-10T22:00:46.195-04:00Cheers to finding a way to get rid of the things y...Cheers to finding a way to get rid of the things you don't like, so important. <br /><br />ALSO< yes to salt.

And okay, organizing too. :D But you're right that it does make you feel better. It's weird how cleaning and purging your kitchen cabinets feels so good. Poor Gus. I do find it cute when dogs sit on one another though, probably because I'm not the one being sat on! I hate everything about this current administration. I hate that some people are shrugging their shoulders about it too. Your e-card is freaking hilarious.

At night and on weekends I'm always SO tired but I want to approach the *stuff* in my house like this, too. That said, K is very much made happy by things. Not all things but he is fairly materialistic and he owns that. Lol. I force him to purge and donate, too, though. <br />Enjoy your shore days and that puppy :) I vote you take tomorrow off...

I thought living in Virginia I was prepared but we are only 1 1/2 miles as the crow files from the ocean where I am in South Carolina and even here this humid ocean climate has an effect. We have more bugs (termites & roaches) and the entire outside of every house takes a beating from the constant humidity. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way, but so many people who move here are like hey why didn't anyone tell me about this! haha And of course living right on the beach comes with a whole other host of fun home improvement issues :) Amber Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784191631606085116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-36147468093154489182018-05-10T09:53:30.519-04:002018-05-10T09:53:30.519-04:00I am such a salt-a-holic myself.

Glad it's continuing to make you feel good on the inside because that's what's most important.<br />I have NO idea why people say they want things and then don't show! I've had that happen when giving things away, for free! Sometimes people jsut don't show and I'm like "I am literally GIVING this to you" ughhh just rude. On a semi related note, our neighbors had a landscaper scheduled to come see their place to give an estimate. The guy texted that he was outside....and never showed up!
