Simplification

Prague, 2011

In order to make life seem a little less manic, I've been manically cleaning house and clearing out.

Today I also went on a mission to unsubscribe from about a gazillion online newsletters. Sorry Daily Candy, Gap, Vera Wang, Brooklyn Public Library, the New Yorker, AptsandLofts.com, you are crowding my brain. I do not want your deals, promotions, or tips for living a fuller life. Since I have the terrible habit of reading my email in bed, I'd prefer to get messages from real live humans rather than customer relations robots.

I will confess I've let Williams Sonoma slip through the cracks just in case there's some insane 90% off deal on artisanal bread boards. I mean, you never know when that's going to be critical.
