We drive him batty because we can't throw away a "good" jar, and we won't let HIM throw them away either!! <br/><br/>You're right, there has to be a happy middle ground! I just had to chuckle when you said your husband is worse, lol. <br/><br/>Unfortunately we didn't find the book!!! I came into the office on Sunday to look for it, and couldn't find it. I am going over to my clients' house today - we're going to try to figure out what happened that year with other resources they should have on hand. Or we might find the book because they always get a brown one, but that year they had to buy a blue one and maybe they are just overlooking it. I know I get so focused on looking for one specific item that I overlook it if it happens to look different than what I thought it looked like. Thanks for visiting and commenting!!

I either throw away or give things away. Usually if I haven't needed it for a year. I don't need it. When I worked I would throw papers away and my technician would take out the trash. He would always put my recycled paper in a box in his office. I can't tell you how many times he went through that box to find something I really did need. <br/><br/>There has to be a happy middle ground somewhere. Oh yeah, my husband is worse than I am. Good luck finding that book.
