'For Ellen': Paul Dano is riveting in thinly plotted fatherhood drama
A movie review of "For Ellen," a thinly plotted indie drama in which Paul Dano gives a riveting performance as a depressed, down-and-out rock musician struggling to reconnect with the young daughter he's never known.
Special to The Seattle Times
'For Ellen,' with Paul Dano, Jon Heder, Shaylena Mandigo, Margarita Levieva. Written and directed by So Yong Kim. 93 minutes. Not rated; for mature audiences (contains brief profanity). SIFF Cinema at the Uptown.
In Korean-American writer-director So Yong Kim's third feature, "For Ellen," the always-interesting young character actor Paul Dano ("There Will Be Blood") plays Joby Taylor, a down-and-out rocker whose life is in a state of chronic disarray.
His bandmates want him out, even though he's their singer and frontman. His estranged wife, Claire (Margarita Levieva), is fighting for custody of their young daughter, Ellen (Shaylena Mandigo); and when Joby drives to cold, snowy upstate New York to sign their divorce agreement, he discovers his locally hired attorney Fred (Jon Heder) is a mild-mannered square who still lives with his mother.
Not that he really needs an attorney: Joby's a mess, an open wound clearly suffering from chronic depression; and despite his harmless disposition, he's almost certainly unfit for fatherhood. That makes his delicate, possibly final encounter with Ellen the beating heart of Kim's quiet, contemplative study of a poignantly tragic figure.
Add this to her previous films "In Between Days" and "Treeless Mountain," and it's clear that Kim has indie cred and talent to spare. At its best, "For Ellen" compares favorably to such praiseworthy micro-budget features as Lance Hammer's "Ballast," Steven Soderberg's "Bubble" and Megan Griffith's made-in-Seattle feature "The Off Hours."
And yet despite Dano's riveting, deeply internalized performance as a good, well-meaning man who's tragically ill-equipped to handle adulthood, "For Ellen" falls short of those other, better films. Its anemic plot is almost nonexistent, and there's not enough substance to support Kim's languid style, resulting in a too-relaxed, 93-minute feature (the same length as "The Off Hours") that could easily shed 10 minutes without sacrificing its emotional core.

Just like all of our gloss formulas, the new Mint 2 Be formula is 100% gluten free, paraben free, and toxin free. It's 100% safe for kids too.
This formula was also designed specifically to stop bleeding that some "mature" women experience. With a slightly thicker formula, this gloss will go the mile with only a dab.
Honey Badger is great all by itself, but works equally well over any Red Apple Lipstick if you want to shift the color more neutral. Pair Honey Badger with Brick, Mocha, or Nude Lip Pencils for a lovely nude lip with super shine.
Try pairing Honey Badger with: Naughty, Foxy, Strawberry Lips, or Flirt With Me

I love the color and the name. The color is the perfect pinky, brown nude. It has enough color so I don't look tired or sick. I was unsure about the mint because I have sensitive skin and mint can be irritating to people, but I had no problems.
When I'm running behind one of my go to combinations are the Roseberry lip liner and Honey Badger. It looks great.
When I have this on I feel like I can handle whatever the day brings my way840

Loved the honey badger lip gloss. This is a great gloss if you want a neutral, barely there color. I didn't give 5 stars only because I thought it would give a little more color as the tube shows. Loved the gloss, but was looking for a more pigmented product.
Posted by sonia c on 21st May 2014
This has to be the most universally flattering shade. It adds a ever so sublle hint of color. The gloss is not sticky. It feels really good going on and doesn't dry my celiac lips out the way the other million lip products I have run through. The best lip gloss I have everj purchased.
Posted by Unknown on 5th May 2014
This is my first lipgloss purchase from Red Apple and I am very happy with my purchase. This is my new fav lip product, the color is great- very natural. I would deff recommend this lipgloss and I look forward to trying the other shades.

This is my first lip gloss from Red Apple and I am in love! Honey Badger is a great light and neutral color, very moisturizing, and the mintyness is fantastic. Looks awesome alone or over a lipstick! I can't wait to purchase more Red Apple products. Thank you for giving those of us with celiac amazing and safe makeup!! :)
Posted by Reagan on 11th Jan 2014
I finally got to order Mint 2 Be in Honey Badger... It is the PERFECT neutral shade that I think would compliment any skin tone. I pair Secrets and Honey Badger together for gorgeous, pink shimmer and shine. :)
Posted by Sharon on 21st Dec 2013
I love both the Blush Lip Liner and Honey Badger gloss….together, they give me the perfect touch of color to enhance my lips without looking too overdone. I often wear the gloss alone and it's perfect that way too…a bit more casual. Both feel great on my lips and last for hours. Thanks, Red Apple Lipstick, for making my favorite products in a way that is comfortable and safe to wear. Your service is just superb and I highly recommend you to everyone I know who wears cosmetics. Have a wonderful holiday!
Warm regards,

Reasons Why I Don't Enjoy Cooking
You've heard me talk about cooking and how I don't usually enjoy it. It's a chore to me and if I notice there's a long recipe, I usually don't even attempt to make it. I've been sick all week and thought I would try to make my very own broccoli soup, which turned out to be a bad idea.

Re: Describe your tennis game
Hmmm, ok
I would say I have a very good
first service
which is pretty hard & placed. It also normally comes to a very good quote and so it is a good weapon for me.
second service
however is also not really good & against good players I often get returnwinners back. I don't risk too much, however I should sometimes, cause I have seen many times that it can be really nice as well. I all in all rarely have DF's.
normally always been my best shot I'd say, it is extremly flat & very hard hitted , however this year not that consistant as I wanna see it. But it is more a mentally problem this year I'd say , I think too much , probably cause I wanted to much this year, but yeah. I can also play forehand-slice, but seldom. It is more when I see the opponent reacts better on very hard-hitted ball and has obviously big troubles with the slice. But it is not that often, cause it is also not my style to play slice there as well
There must be one side with which I can hit hard
I'm one handed-backhand
, however it is 80-90 % Slice during a match , whereas in practising I am able to hit it hard as well. I think my Slice-Backhand then is effective as well & many players have troubles to bring it back fine. My Slice is really consistant.
On the
I am very good with my backhand and I love backhand-volleys, however with forehand I often make too many errors unfortunately, despite I really like it go on the net.
I often risk a lot when it is on FH and so sometimes have , especially at the beginning on a match , a few too many errors. I like more to return hard services than these slow ones
I usually stand around 0,5 - 1 meter in the field when I return. When I return on backhand it is quite consistant.
With 1,89 m I am pretty tall at all, but I am pretty fast for that, but my weakness is that I often stand wrong to the ball and so make sometimes a lot errors.
2008 is not my best season I'd say, 2007 was all in all better, but I am optimistic and I'm sure after a worse year will come a very good one as well. It is more a mental thing all in all, cause sometimes it is better than in all years before. Just not that consistant as usual. I often play very good TILL I have the chance
That was horrible this year. Once I lost 0-6,3-6 in 115 Minutes 'cause of that
Very disappointing if you did not play so bad all in all. Normally I have been pretty strong mentally.
So you can see my game is a mix between offensive (FH) and defensive (BH) and I am all in all content with my game, despite it does not work 100% this year. I am looking forward to next year and I am sure it will go better then again. I always been quite unlucky with injuries and still am. When I think all is fine for moment, sthg. else is comming
I could also go more in the detail, but I guess that's OK for first

This is a minimal pairs test used by Christopher Strelluf, a graduate student at the University of Missouri, who is studying how people in Kansas City talk.
This is a list of words that have one phonological difference. Some of the pairs are controls, as in they're pronounced the same.
Read the list aloud to see where you make distinctly different pronunciations, and where you might be merged. You might be surprised to find that some of words that you think you say very differently don't come out so distinctly after all.

Pike Place Market
A must-see for every first-time Seattle visitor, this indoor farmers' market of more than 200 stalls is also a crucial hub for most of the city's restaurateurs and foodies. Despite the unfortunate clusters of junk shops, most of the market's booths are occupied by serious growers, food merchants, and craftspeople, hawking fresh herbs, pots of cloudy artisanal honeys, whole fish and crabs on heaps of chipped ice, and pyramids of apples bearing "Avalanche Warning" signs. Most tourists make a beeline for the sassy fish throwers of Pike Place Fish Market or the original Starbucks, but the true don't-miss are the flower stalls in the main arcade.
Tip: The Alibi Room (85 Pike Street, #410; 206-623-3180; www.seattlealibi.com), a chic little restaurant/bar in the market's lower level, is another local favorite. You'll find the entrance at the south end of the market, along Post Alley, across from the Market Theatre.
Admission: Free.
Tune in on Wednesdays at 10PM ET for Top Chef: Boston, the 12th season of Bravo's Emmy-Award winning, hit reality series.

Due to popular demand I've written down more or less what I did (I took notes for once!) and am sharing the recipe here. This is very tasty, rich feeling yet light, and actually pretty darned easy to make. The only annoying part is the white sauce, because white sauce is always annoying. It really means it when recipes say stir constantly (or rather, you darned well better be stirring in the last 30 seconds!) and it just takes forever to thicken.Serves 8-10Submitted by: SUZISUZISUZI

Speakers announced, registration open for Edinboro University's High School Journalism Day
03/10/2014Edinboro University's will host its Eighth Annual High School Journalism Day and Competition on April 4 with keynote speakers Bob Benz, partner in LedgeSolutions and former vice president/interactive for the E.W. Scripps Company's newspapers, and Dan Walk, assistant editor at the Meadville Tribune.
EU's High School Journalism Day and Competition is a daylong event that is open to high school juniors and seniors, as well as to high school teachers and media advisors who are interested in journalism.
"We are delighted to have these two successful Edinboro University graduates leading our lineup for this year's Journalism Day and Competition," said Tony Peyronel, Ed.D., chair of the Department of Communication and Media Studies.
Benz began his career as a journalist, spending 10 years in newsrooms. The highlight of his journalism career came in 1994, when he was an editor on "The Plutonium Experiment," which won a Pulitzer Prize for reporter Eileen Weisome and The Albuquerque Tribune. He is a graduate of Edinboro University and holds a master's degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Walk is assistant editor at The Meadville Tribune. He joined the newspaper in 2011 as a sports reporter and moved to the news desk in 2013 when he was promoted to assistant editor. He previously served as sports editor of the Punxsutawney Spirit, where he won a 2010 Pennsylvania Associated Press award. As a student, Walk worked as a reporter and sports editor at The Spectator, Edinboro's weekly campus newspaper, and served as a sports intern at The Meadville Tribune before graduating from Edinboro in 2006.
Benz will open the event with a talk at 9:30 a.m., and Walk will speak as part of the awards luncheon at noon. Journalism Day events will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Frank G. Pogue Student Center on the Edinboro campus. A $1,000 scholarship to Edinboro University will be presented at the awards luncheon, as will cash prizes provided by Gazette Newspapers and JET-TV, Fox 66 and YourErie.com.
Awards will be handed out in four print journalism categories, two photo journalism categories, two broadcast journalism categories and one web publication category.
Workshops for students and faculty will be offered on a variety of topics. Panelists include Lou Baxter, news director for JET-TV, Fox 66 and YourErie.com; Jeffrey Hileman, director of university communications at Edinboro University and former online editor at the Erie Times-News; Emily Matson, anchor, reporter and producer with WICU-TV; and Kim Thomas Plyler, director of communications and public relations for PA State Senator Sean D. Wiley.
Students and teachers interested in participating in Edinboro University's Eighth Annual High School Journalism Day and Competition can obtain registration information by visiting www.edinboro.edu and typing "High School Journalism Day" in the keyword search box.
Seats for the event are limited and the Department of Communication and Media Studies asks that registration forms be completed and returned by March 28. For further information, contact James Wertz, Ph.D., NWPA High School Journalism Competition Chairperson, by email at email@example.com or telephone at (814) 732-1254.

I'm finally beating back the gophers with Jeri's squat pot trick but now the squirrels are overrunning my garden because my *!!#$!! neighbor puts out peanuts for them. They come to bury them in my pot ghetto and while they're here they snack on the roses. They're fondest of Madame Alfred but today I looked at Clytemnestra who has recently made a comeback. She had a HUGE candelabra of buds yesterday and today they're GONE! Not the stems, just the buds were neatly bitten off.
Does anyone have experience with either deer spray or hot pepper spray to keep away squirrels? Thanks,

I have loads of experience with squirrels digging in pots (and uprooting newly potted rooted cuttings) to bury nuts, but absolutely none with them neatly nipping off rose buds. Are you sure you do not also have deer? Jackie |
Hi Jackie, If I didn't know that my entire yard is fenced in I would have thought the same thing. I've watched these squirrels run along the fence with a full blown Madame Alfred in it's mouth. Diane |
I would also want to verify that it is really squirrels. I'm not saying you're wrong but this really does surprise me. They've never touched my roses, though they raid my fruit trees and attack my vegetable beds on a regular basis. If you are confident that it is squirrels, not deer, not rabbits, then certainly try spraying them with something that has an unpleasant taste. Do let us know if it works. Rosefolly |

My local garden center sells something that contains coyote urine (to deter deer) and something that contains fox urine (to deter rabbits). A friend bought the fox urine stuff and watched a rabbit hop toward her plants, stop and suddenly run away. She swears by it. I'm sure one of these would work for squirrels. I don't remember the name of the stuff but I would bet it's easy to locate. If you can't figure it out, I can go up to the nursery and find out for you. Jeff |
I know they sell hot pepper seeds that squirrels don't like, and the deer spray has hot pepper in it, so theoretically it should work. |
I have no deer and have had the same experience with buds and blooms being eaten. We raised an orphaned baby ground squirrel and she loved rose buds, so I think it's entirely possible. If you have rabbits that would be another consideration. I've had to resort to putting circles of thorny rose stems around a lot of my bands that are in the ground to keep them from being nibbled to death. Very unsightly but it works. Ingrid |
Definitely no deer and same for rabbits. The branch with the buds is about 4 1/2 feet high next to the fence that the squirrels use as a freeway. As I said earlier, I have seen the squirrels with roses in their mouths. Will try the spray and let you know. Diane |
I'm not saying squirrels will not eat roses (I'm sure I don't know), but I can definitively say that in the many years I've gardened, I have never had the many squirrels roaming around here ever nibble on rose blooms or any other blooms in my garden. Digging little holes all over--yes. Rose blooms, no. Kate |

Yes, I had this problem several years back with the squirrels. They ate all my roses, dahlias, lilies, perennials, etc. I finally got the problem under control by adopting two feral cats from the local shelter. They have succeeded in controlling the squirrels, gophers, rabbits, etc. Very effective, cheap, and environmentally safe. The only pest that they have not been able to deter are the deer. I would also suggest talking to your neighbors about not putting out food for the squirrels. This normally attracts other critters like raccoons, skunks, etc. Jeff |
Gosh yes the squirrels will eat buds! Not just on roses either. They ate most of my camellia buds a couple of years ago. Only that one year, and I don't know why. But I did see them doing it, so it was not something else. Denise |

NEW YORK - It must be red-carpet day at New York Fashion Week. The collections presented Thursday by J. Mendel and Badgley Mischka were among the most glamorous to grace the catwalks at the fall previews so far, while Vera Wang and Calvin Klein were chic.
And could Rihanna have been in the front row at Zac Posen because she's attending Grammy festivities this weekend? The bright purple gown with cascading ruffles, pintucks and an open back would be a show-stopper.
Don't be surprised if some of the gowns, especially Badgley Mischka's platinum lame and crystal gown or J. Mendel's stone-colored satin gown with a sexy cowl back and a mermaid hem, turn up on an A-list star sometime in the very near future. Wang's finale black sequin dress with a silver beaded medallion at the bust and a floating tulle train is for a very cool customer.
Fashion Week is entering its homestretch, ending Friday, but several top designers, including Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan, have yet to take their turn on the runway.
Zac Posen: The themes of the week were all covered - dark colors, pencil skirts, curved architectural lines, fur, purple - but Zac Posen always does things just a little bit bolder than most of his peers.
Sometimes the results can be outlandish, but not so this season. Upping the ante produced one of the best pencil skirts, one covered in silver and black beads that Posen called the "Galactica" skirt. The gowns at the end were true fashion statements. Neither the "orchid" gown, with its exaggerated open back in the shape of a blooming flower and a tiered mermaid hemline, nor the "iris" with its enormous ballskirt would be the sort of thing to wear to a country-club black-tie wedding, but they'd be just right on a stylish star at the Oscars.
Posen did, though, have clothes for real people, too. A sleek black skirt suit with a crisp pleated blouse would likely be worn again and again, and a burgundy wool cape coat was as fashionable as something so cozy could be.
Calvin Klein: Who knew there could be so many shades of gray? Francisco Costa's fall line was made up almost entirely of pieces with color names such as carbon, steel and anthracite. It created a very sophisticated yet somewhat somber look. These clothes were very elegant, clothes for a woman who is confident enough to not have to prove herself.
The treasures were in the details: draping fooled the eye into thinking there was a jumper and a separate top on the runway while it really was a single dress, and wool was so soft and plush, it looked like fur.
Overall, the clothes had a look of mixed tonal textures, and Costa played with proportion, often with a silhouette that started with an oversized boxy collar that narrowed as it went down. The work-friendly skirt suits and dresses were among the standouts here, especially a Chantilly lace, short-sleeve turtleneck with matching layered skirt that was delicate because of its fabric but serious because of its color.
Vera Wang: The Russian influence was again evident in Vera Wang's ultrachic show, but instead of focusing solely on the opulence of the czarinas, Wang also noted the military presence, the dignified peasants and avant-garde artists.
"Life during this time represented a turbulent mix of incredible extremes, not to mention the impossible extravagance of the Romanov court," Wang said in her notes.
Want to see all that in a single outfit? How about a gray velvet sleeveless fencing vest with a padded peplum lining and a black pleated chiffon overlay, worn with a gray chiffon straight skirt with chrome sequin details.
It was a look made for the runway, full of drama and great photo potential. A more wearable look, however, was an oversized gray wool turtleneck, a charcoal collarless mink coat and a wool gabardine high-waist skirt.
Among the best looks overall were a dark-green printed top with a pleated neck and a jeweled jacquard straight skirt with a padded hem, and an embroidered and padded shift dress in a black-brown taffeta with a military collar and heavy navy wool belt.
However, all the padding might be unflattering on women whose figures don't exactly line up with models.
Badgley Mischka: The Badgley Mischka dresses put into fabric a feeling that editors and retailers in the front row have been talking about all week - it's a season of change. The favored silhouette moves away from volume and becomes more fitted, but it's not a seismic shift to an ultra-slim body, either.
One beautiful smoky-gray gown had a jeweled halter neck and a formfitting bodice but then flowed gracefully from a yoke at the knee. And a sophisticated cocktail dress combined a tight claret-colored sheath with a billowy sheer black overlay.
In their daywear, Mark Badgley and James Mischka emphasized the trend of using menswear fabrics for feminine shapes. The show opened with a chocolate-colored glen-plaid dress, worn with a turtleneck underneath. This was soon followed by a toffee-colored tweed jacket with a round neck and tie at the waist, paired with slim dark denim jeans - one of the few appearances of denim on the runway this season.
J. Mendel: Designer Gilles Mendel was striving for a look of old-fashioned elegance and polish to then propel into the present, he explained in his notes.
He succeeded - and he made it look easy.
The wild-type mink kimono coat, kept close to the body with a satin trenchcoat belt tied in an obi, set the tone that this line would be luxurious but not the slightest bit fussy. A black satin blouse with chiffon panels, worn with a long black pencil skirt, and a black-and-white tweed minidress, also with the obi sash, were the confirmation.
For evening, there was a stunning black chiffon and silver lame gown with jet crystals on the bodice and fur cap sleeves. For those who are not fans of fur, a black satin gown with an asymmetrical neckline, oversized sequin pocket and gathered sleeves was equally noteworthy.
The front row did have some potential celebrity shoppers, including Celine Dion, who wears J. Mendel in her Las Vegas stage show, and actresses Natasha Richardson, Cynthia Nixon and Piper Perabo.
Linda Fargo, women's fashion director at luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman, raved over designer Gilles Mendel's "classic chic French sensibility."
"It was sensual, yet there was an aggressive spirit," Fargo said.

I know a lot of people love big homes...and they can be quite lovely. But, every time I see one of these massive, custom homes I think...who cleans them? They must have a cleaning crew, since one person would have trouble keeping up with all the bathrooms, halls, multiple living areas and extra-large kitchen. Of course, some people have large families and need larger homes. At least then you (hopefully) have help keeping it all clean. I like a little breathing room, say 10-12 people can be in the home together for holidays...but when I see some of these really big homes, I find myself thinking about Downton Abbey :)

Ha ha funny. Cleaning and maintenance is the main reason we went small. I really wanted a bigger home, but I hate cleaning, but love things to be clean and tidy. Dh has an OCD level of tidiness. We have two sloppy children. The new house is roughly 1400sf, plus some basement space that may or may not be finished but will be heated and function as play space toy space. I also wonder about how expensive it met get to decorate those larger homes. Too rich for my blood! |

they've gotta have help or be a cleaning crazy person. some people looooooove to clean. I like it to BE clean, I just don't wanna be the one to keep it that way. It's way too much for me these days - even my1400 sf place. I see it now in advance. no way will I be able to continually get down on the floors to clean baseboards, lower cabinets etc. I'll probably have to have someone come in a few times a yr (at least) to do a really good job of it. like the old time 'spring/fall' cleaning. |
DH's ex-wife married a man who had a 6,000 square-foot home, and she cleaned that joint top to bottom. There were no children, and very infrequent guests, but I'm sure it was a nightmare. She didn't work, but I don't think she got to enjoy not working when she had to keep that place clean and cook dinner every night. She's divorced now (for myriad reasons) and lives in a cute 2-bedroom townhouse ; ). I think once houses get that large, the cleaning also becomes more complex. Ceilings are higher, trim is more complicated, furniture is larger, taller, has more surfaces, and lighting is less likely to be easy to reach. Even if you step down to the contemporary 3,000+ square foot home, you're likely to be dealing with a dedicated bath for every bedroom. So instead of cleaning one kid's bath, there are two or three to clean. Mark me down as "not interested". |

Our house is 3600 sqft (not including basement and garage). Even though we have no kids, no pets, I find myself constantly cleaning, and yet the house is still not as clean as I'd like to see! I tell my husband, I have a full-time desk job during the day, and a full-time cleaning job at night & during weekend. Was I born a maid? I do like cleaning, but cleaning so much space so frequently is not fun at all! I think we have to either hire a cleaning lady or move to a much smaller house. My husband wants privacy, so having a cleaning lady come every week or every other week is not a good option. He does like the idea of living in a smaller, more space- and energy-efficient house, but the task of selling the current house, selling large pieces of furniture, moving, and possibly building, is quite daunting. |

I think the folks that have those really big houses just buy a new one when the old one gets dirty! |
I cleaned, mopped and vacuumed 14 bedrooms,2 living areas, 2 dining areas, 2 kitchens,7 bathrooms, 4 offices, a giant glass enclosed foyer , 3 long hallways, plus med rooms and other small storage and utility areas daily, and still had time to do the laundry,( clothing bedding, etc) for 14 little girls. I worked at a residential treatment center for a living (retired now) Once you get it down to a routine, you can buzz right through it. |
I have a dear friend that has a 6500 sf home, and I asked her about that very thing when she sent me pics of their newly built home. It is a "French chateau" design, and it looks like a castle. Seriously. She said she doesn't do the whole thing at once, she does sections at a time, so it doesn't seem so daunting. She is a very tidy person, so I imagine that she does keep up with the cleaning. It is a beautiful home. |

This is always my 1st question. I think it's like egbar said, it's all about developing a "routine". As for me, that routine was never developed and at this age (50+) it doesn't look good for developing. Approximately 1500 is a chore, I cannot imagine 5,000+ to clean. How about a life? |
Think of a motel chambermaid. They clean many rooms, make beds, clean toilets,etc. They each have a "cart" and wheel their supplies along with them. They use spray cleaners and cleaning rags. Make your own "cart"out of a bucket. Load it with cleaners you use and like. Paper towels are super, but some old rags work just as well and can be laundered and re-used. |
Ilovecookie, At least he's willing to consider moving to a smaller house. Sounds as if you are a slave to you home and you're rightly thinking of rebelling. Once you start thinking about what you really want to take care of that may help you winnow your possessions. Good luck! I'm still working on my lifetime collection of stuff! oh, to answer the OP I think majority of my friends, coworker and neighbors have cleaning ladies. I had one while my back was injured but after surgery and recovery we stopped. |

I have a dream that someday everything in my home will have its own place, that that place will be known to both my husband and me and that we will regularly recognize that something is not in its place and we will return it to that place. Meanwhile, we live in too much clutter, which makes it hard to clean. We are almost caught up with the laundry pile, which means that I will be able to clean the bedroom soon. Later this week, I hope to be rid of all of the dish gardens I made last fall, freeing up the desk surface in the kitchen and giving us back a third of our counter space. THAT will really help it feel less cluttered and will allow me to really give that kitchen a good shine. I keep trying to organize my family room so that all of the things I want to keep within reach of my chair are both accessible and out of sight. Well, THAT's impossible! LOL! But sorting out what needs to be there and what I really should be able to get up and go get from somewhere else needs to be done again. If I could get all of those things done, I could dust or wipe everywhere, vacuum the family room rug and the lino floors everywhere, then MOP. I have been meaning to mop for the past nine months! The foyer, halls, kitchen, and family room are all Forbo Linoleum and I really need to give it a good cleaning. I have no idea how people who live in those big houses do it all. We have 1675 sq ft. I hate even having to wash two toilets! I still have that one kitchen cabinet door and some baseboard moldings to sand and stain and poly and install from the kitchen remodel of three summers past, and then I can call that project done. I still need to hang a few pictures in the Library and the foyer. The Library's french doors need to be sanded and stained. They were bought used off of Craigslist and I tried doing a "facelift" on their muddy-looking finish and found that removing the stain and starting over was a better choice. Then there is the new baseboard moldings for the foyer, two halls, kitchen, and family room to paint, and walls in the halls to paint and ceilings in the family room and halls to paint. Ceilings definitely have to be farmed out to someone without degenerative joints in the neck. A paid painter. To give myself credit, I have managed to recaulk the bathtub, change the bed and bath doorknobs, get a used kitchen counter off of Craigslist and fit it to cover the washer and dryer so that things no longer fall behind them, researched my next remodel project - the bathroom - and purchased the vanity from Craigslist, got the garage half straightened, got my garden trug put together and filled with dirt (will plant veggies tonight when it is cooler), planted porch planters and backyard planters, started on the trimming of the backyard overgrowth, and organizing of the patio! I just wish I could move like I used to move. I was up half the night with leg pain because I dared to go to both Lowes and the hardware store yesterday, then work on the patio! This getting old stuff is no fun. Back when I was working and before all the remodeling started, I had a nice older lady who came to wipe everything down, vacuum, mop, and clean the bathrooms every other week. She was worth every penny. She retired because her own aches and pains were getting to her. Hey Steph, Chris, and others with similar problems, what are we going to do? DH is already doing more than his share and bringing home all the bacon these days, too. |

Thank you, wordie. Husband and I talked to a realtor today. We will meet him soon to figure out if it makes financial sense to sell the house now. We want to downsize to 1800-2000 sqft. I surely hope we can work it out! |

Well I have always said it is easier to keep a smaller house clean. We have had from 1850 to 800 SQFT. Both have been a challenge. I have been able to pare things down to fit Nancy s dream of a place for everything. Even so I would like to have less of every thing in those spaces. It is so much easier to have a little flexibility. The other day I re-arranged our pantry. the items we keep stocked up on evolve. Now Joe is sick :^( we eat totally different than we used to. I had such a horrible mess going on in the pantry I hated to even open the door. Pulling many things out and half way starting over made it so much nicer to be able to put things away again and I organized any canned goods to be earliest expire date to the front. I always tried to do that but could not when things got into such a mess. Now all the house and yard is on me, not complaining just fact, the house does not stay as spotless as it used to. On the other hand the kitchen and bathrooms are cleaner than they ever were because of Joe being on chemo he has to be protected from nasty germs. Every day I do some thing extra as far as cleaning. I can whip through this house and clean it in an hour. No extra cleaning but a daily cleaning. I am never backed up on the laundry. I got rid of all my extra clothes so I wash once a week a couple clothes loads and a load of sheets and towels and any animal bedding. I can do all the laundry in one day. Unless i am doing curtains and I only do them a couple times a year. We have about 1375 SQ FT and one bedroom is totally my studio. The living room dinning room and kitchen feel large because they are open to each other. And the vaulted ceilings. I am very happy with this size and really do not want any more to have to take care of. |

"I just wish I could move like I used to move. I was up half the night with leg pain because I dared to go to both Lowes and the hardware store yesterday, then work on the patio!" I know what you mean! I had a bad night last night and didn't even go anywhere yesterday. I was going to take my car over to the mechanic's this morning but was in no condition to go anywhere - so I didn't. Maybe tomorrow morning if I have a decent night. About a yr ago I was limiting myself to max 5 stops on a trip out. by the 4th I could tell I was at my end but would push it to that 5th stop if it was important enough. Last fall I started limiting me to 3-4 stops (those would include just getting gas or stopping at the bank). In the past few months I've often kept it at 2 stops. It's more trips out so a bit more gas usage but it's easier on my body. Then when I get home I'm done in for hours. Sometimes for the day other than something like getting something to eat and taking the dog out. And feeding her. It's no wonder I still have boxes stacked all over the LR/DR! I do have a path weeded out from bdrm to kit, from kit to front door and from my bdrm door to the patio door. I wonder if I'll ever get thru all of those boxes... I think I have gone thru 6 or 7 of them since last fall. I've been trying to work outside in the evenings (after the sun goes over the mtn west of me) for 20-30 min. That's about all my back will take of raking or moving a hose around type work. I'm not 'seeing' a pretty picture of my future... I don't think I could 'whip' through anything anymore! of course, right now the heat here has a lot to do with it. If I go out anywhere I try to do it early and be home by noon - hopefully before it hits 100 out there. Sorry to hear about Joe. Hope it all goes well for him. Don't overdo yourself during this time - it won't help either of you. I figure now that my eye sight isn't good enough to see lots of the dirt I used to clean away... (out of sight, out of mind) |

We all want to keep our home and things tidy and clean, but sometimes it can't be possible because of the big size of rooms. Big houses have their own advantages apart from cleanliness. For me, small families need small houses to maintain and keep it dirt-free. |

Nancy and Steph, I understand not having the ability to get around like we used to. i am there too. some times I just have to force myself to finish some goal I have set for myself. If I get behind it makes it worse for me. I am trying to combine tasks every day. Today is laundry day so on my way to the kitchen this morning for my first cup of coffee I grabbed the laundry out of the hamper and put one load in the washer to run while I drink my coffee. Will have both loads ready for the line as soon as breakfast is done and I will take them out on my way to the back end of the house to do the morning chores back there. I just have a very busy time first thing in the day. Feel like it is a mad dash to get the chores done so I can either rest or play in the heat of the day. I also need down time. And the day of shopping gets nothing extra done but just that and the animal care. I usually have to nap after I get the shopping items put away too. I have been known to decide I did not want some things on my list because they were not worth the added stop. Saves me $$$$ that way. |

"I have been known to decide I did not want some things on my list because they were not worth the added stop." I do that too. There are times when I even split my shopping at W. Rather than walk the whole store I'll put off things needed on the dog food, hardware, car product etc side of the store until a different day. My mornings are mostly useless. It takes a few hrs for my meds to get in me and my body to respond to them. If I have to go somewhere early then I'll be down for a day or 2 following. It really messes me up. |
Can I weigh in? One of the benefits of downsizing to our 1200 sq ft house (soon, I hope!) is less to clean. Now, we have a 4 bd. 2 bathroom 2500 sq ft. and I don't keep up, don't want to keep up, no place for everything, always moving crap around, etc, etc. I keep telling DH we have to stack storage into this next house so everything has a place. I figure 'everythings' place can't always be the kitchen table! Like many of you, I'm totally sick of living in clutter and mess. I want a clean house. Too bad I'm married to a messy, messy man with hoarder tendencies. |
- Posted by Melissaki5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 28, 13 at 21:08
Deedles I have the same problem as you. My Dh is such a hoarder and I don't have any idea where to put all the new stuff he buys. He leaves things on the kitchen counter constantly and I keep shoving it in closets, drawers, any where I can find that isn't in plain view. Then he asks me where something is and I have no clue. It's a constant battle to keep up. I don't even want to get started on the garage. We have a two car attached and a 4 car detached which is one of the reasons we bought the house. The 4 car is literally filled. Motorcylcles, tools, atv's engines, motorcycle frames, more tools. I thought that this would be enough space for his hobby (he buys used motorcycles and fixes them) but he has almost outgrown it. I've finally got him to start selling stuff on ebay to get rid of things that we really aren't using. |

Grocery Deliveries to AKL?
I was told the Garden Grocer was a great website to order groceries and have them delivered to your resort. But how does it work exactly? I'm going to order snacks and breakfast-type foods for us. Can I specify a date and delivery time to our resort? Do we have to be checked in and/or in our room for delivery?
You order in advance and they will deliver to the hotel the date and time you decide. You do not have to be there or even checked in yet, bell services will hold it for you and refrigerate the perishables. We used them last year and will again in October.
We've used garden grocer before and would again! Chose our delivery date - the delivery beat us to the hotel so they stored everything until we were checked into our room! It was such a smooth process!
Do they charge a flat delivery fee or % and can you order wine/beer?
