Excellent links. I love the idea of a breakup party. I hope I never need to apply it, of course!

Also like the Death to To-Do Lists piece. Have to confess I live a very orderly life due to a running list which I keep in my Notebook of Doom (calendar, budget, and to-do list all live in here, among other less-essential detritus).

But my to-do list has definitely evolved, over the past 2-3 years of uncluttering my life, to the point that it now reflects mostly "things I don't want to forget about doing" rather than "things I have to do today or tomorrow or this weekend."

I just told my co-worker, who has been planning a weddings for a bunch of twenty-somethings, about the break-up party. She LOVES the idea.

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, I thought the idea of a break up party was awesome too.... but just like Chacha said, not that I actually want to have one. :)

I was surprised by the high (for me, at least) use of processed foods in the crock pot recipes.

I'm a list maker. However, my lists tend to be more so I don't forget something rather than steps for me to accomplish something. They're reminders.

For me It's similar to the reason I use a grocery list or I often use recipes. It's not because I don't know how what I need or how to cook, but because I'm very likely to omit something vital if I don't have the recipe nearby.
