My Super Power
If I could choose just one super power, I think it would be this: I wish I could make things disappear with a touch. Of course, since it is my fantasy super power, it wouldn't be like the Midas touch, in which everything I touched...ever...would magically disappear. No. I wish I could decide to make something disappear and with a touch, "poof" it's gone.
This fantasy is particularly strong whenever I wander through my children's rooms. Not that it's possible to "wander." Oh no. The mess is far to extensive to allow any sort of wandering whatsoever. I marvel at the amount of junk in this house. Junk that we are storing until the day when either
1. My fantasy comes true
2. My second favorite fantasy, that of renting a dumpster, comes true
or
3. I somehow find the motivation to clean, organize and donate to charity all the junk which only reaccumulates as fast as I can deal with it.

If you develop this power, will you be available for hire?
oh, I have a lot to say on this subject...but I'll stick to one point here:
1. the root of a lot of krap is from gifts...gifts that go unused, gifts that are not wanted, gifts that just collect dust.
Over the w/e, I was just about ready to pen a letter to all my relatives and friends to say STOP sending me any gift for any holiday at all...I've mentally added up the $$$$ in my head that has been spent on krap that is not wanted and goes unused...it's so damn sad.
I'm thinking of gathering up all the unused items I've been given over the years and all items given to a ceratin someone in my house over the years, and sell it on ebay or give it to the good-will...the Sunday Chicago Magazine had a great--I mean GREAT article about 'can one person make a difference'--it spoke about some of this exact issue...giving to others and of course many other subjects, volunteering, sustainable living etc etc etc...it was good...all should read it and live by it.
peace - out...m
