Let me tell you about my inboxes... aka disaster areas.

Last month, I ran across a website and decided to sign up for some freebies... Shop 4 Freebies... They just happened to have a Kiss My Face sample on the day that I visited.

I needed a separate email account, because I knew I was going to get some spam if I kept doing freebies. So I spent a couple weeks cleaning out my Hotmail account. I had mostly abandoned that one, tho I was getting some good newsletters there. I had about 100 emails to go through.

But that got done, and now there are just a light handful in the inbox. Yay.

Now. My real email. The kind that ends with @static8.com... That is the most serious problem. 200 emails in my inbox, 50 of which are unread.

Not to mention the horrifying spam... Today I got 72 emails, only 9 of which were legit. I don't even know why I have to deal with that crap... my free email accounts do perfect spam filtering, I see none of it. But the email that I actually pay for I have to look at dozens and dozens of spams every day?! (well. Granted my hotmail account gets about 3 spams a week, whereas my static8 account gets over 500 spams a week! laughs!)

Okay, anyway. Back to the 200 problem. I've not cleared out my email since january, and that's what happens, I guess.

So, I am going to make it my goal to get that all cleared out this month. I will read and delete the stuff I don't need to keep. I will hit the reply button a few times. And I will move the keepers into their assigned folders.
