I’d like to take this opportunity to publicly announce how wrong I was! Her show is NOT just fun and games. It covers valuable, much-needed material. And only Oprah knows how to best provide such information to the masses. I’d go so far as to hold her up as a modern-day Guttenberg. Take her two-day special on hoarding… changed my life! It finally gave me the courage to get rid of all the junk that I have so 
meticulously organized into the most ridiculous files conceivable. YEARS of junk masquerading as worth-while stuff just because it was well-labeled into neat little files. Like the one with the muscle strengthening exercises from my speech therapy and tongue thrust sessions I had as a kid. What is so scary is how I deluded myself into saving them all these years… as though I thought I’d be needing to study up on the correct usage of a tongue-depressor or how to properly form ‘tz’ sounds! And what is more scary is that it was actually hard to get rid of them.*Special thanks to my dad for hauling a wheel-barrow into the house to get rid of everything before I had time to rationalize potential uses for it all.
*And special thanks to my mom for allowing my dad to do so.

LOL - Liz, that picture of your dad is fantastic. I look forward to hearing about the other hidden treasures you found. The picture also makes me sad that I won't see your family this Christmas. I'll just have to settle for a phone call. See you in less than one month!
