read my magazines!!

I subscribe to five different magazines and am lucky if I find time to read one a week. It’s a goal of mine to get in the habit of reading them so I can be more up on current events.

I’ve made an improvement in getting them read and thrown out, or at least thrown out. I just can’t keep up with the Smithsonians, which I love, but which take too much time. So that’s why I’m giving up. Other than those, I am doing better. But I know that magazines will always be streaming into my house, and will always be a part of my clutter problem. I’ll have to try to keep being as self-disciplined as I can about them, but having this goal here drags me down, so away it goes.

It is comical because I hardly had time to read the one I subscribed to and now I went crazy and added 4 more… (oops).

since I was sick as a dog, I had lots of time to read them. Got through a huge stack.

while on vacation, and threw away a bunch when I was choosing which to bring on vacation. So, some progress.

Then I came home, and found that I have somehow begun getting Preservation magazine. I have no idea how. Very weird. I don’t do anything professionally or personally that would make this make sense. And I didn’t get a bill. I am perplexed. Flummoxed. Baffled. Bewildered.

But, we have a magazine exchange basket at work, so maybe someone there will enjoy it!

On Being a True Conservative,” in December 2005 Sun Magazine.

Highly recommended.

He makes a very good case for rethinking both environmentalism AND conservatism.

might re-open this goal once i receive my other two magazines
but i’m doing well so far!

being sick and unable to do so much as sit upright (fever aches chills and painfully sore strep throat wiped me out for days) plus being too poor for cable and being intolerant of watching things over again (making my husband question why i believe in owning dvds) makes for a good scenario for reading & disposing of magazines. include a bunch of newspapers here. hurrah! far to go but progress is progress!

i already subscribe to three, and am now going to receive two more. must start reading them!

i was really bad before, when i subscribed to over, oh, 10? magazines…at least i’ve downsized…!

some came in, but some got tossed. so at least i am not losing ground!

i should make this goal include newspapers. that is a definite sickness with me!
