After seeing this video on Treehugger via Reuters.com about a guy living in a little self built home on the back of his tricycle in Hong Kong I am even more gung ho about upping the minimalism in my life. When I met the dreamboat I was a huge packrat and he was quite the minimalist, or so I thought. Turns out he too has a lot of unnecessary crap. We’ve done a once over on 176 before, getting rid of things we decided we didn’t really need, but it’s time for another. Hopefully there will be tons to donate when we are finished. I plan on having this project finished by the end of February. A clutter free house is a stress free one.

Complete apartment decorating - I had originally given up on this goal because the apartment i was going to decorate was that of me and the old boyfriend. We never saw eye to eye on how to decorate so i gave up and just let him do what he wanted to do. Now i don’t live there anymore, and i live with the dreamboat. We are doing quite snazzy about getting our lovely little home in San Francisco decorated and cozy, and we are rocking at compromising. We should have this place all set in no time. I am counting this goal as completed because it was for the previous apartment.*updated 03.02.07*
