Author Bredenberg explores beating clutter
If you are one of those people who spent January neatly arranging your stuff in see-through plastic boxes and identifying the contents with a Dymo labelmaker, please go do something else. Alphabetize your spices. Clean the grout with a toothbrush. This story is not for you. This is a story about organizing for the rest of us. Especially those who are - let's be diplomatic here - "terminally disorganized," says Jeff Bredenberg. "Everybody wants an environment they can feel good about. Nobody sits around their house and says, 'How can I be more disorganized?' The fact is, a lot of people don't try harder because most organizational systems are way too complex." Riding to the rescue is Bredenberg, 54, author of How to Cheat at Organizing: Quick Clutter-Clobbering Ways to Simplify Your Life (Taunton, $14.95).
Hip-Hop Rumors: LaLa Plumps Up, Amerie Dropped? AHHmerican Gangster!
There were a lot of little petty incidents at the Grammys…I ignored a lot of them. You know, the whole thing with Rihanna pulling Beyonce's man on stage like it was her man or something. Anyway, Aretha Frankin is universally regarded as the Queen of Soul. So, when Beyonce called Tina Turner the “Queen" before they performed, Aretha had to to issue the following statement.
"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé. However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway."
Also, I heard that Aretha refused to perform song with Mary, Alicia or any of the young bucks out there.
