i just finished amy tan’s the kitchen god’s wife last night. it was a very good read – i really enjoyed it. i thought some things were quite funny in the beginning, in a dry sort of way. weiwei’s story is very engaging i felt so bad for her. i do recommend it if you haven’t read it yet. i’ve also enjoyed the joy luck club from amy and am looking forward to reading more from her.

with that done, i picked up scaling down, living large in a smaller space by judi culbertson and marj decker. this is my how-to on starting to declutter my house!! so many things we just hang on to because they were free or we just couldn’t throw them away. i said to james that this is what we need to do, and he agrees but some of the things i want to declutter, he doesn’t agree! *sigh*

but first things first, i’ll be boxing my dvd’s and donating the vhs if possible. all my books with the exception of a very few are going to the local library. those are the easiest things for me to start with. okay, need to read some more and get started.
