Beckerizing

Gratuitous belly shot of me
in my early birthday present from Chrysostom

You know when some people are so good at something or have such an amazing product that a version their name becomes synonymous with it?  Like to bowlderize, a good malapropism, or Armand Hammer?

We have friends who are really so good at cleaning things out, getting rid of the unnecessary and keeping a clutter-free home that people who know them call ruthless deep-cleaning "Beckerizing".  Today, we began our pre-move beckerization.  The difficulty is that there is not enough time to both beckerize and pack.  It has lead to quite a bit of angst and slowed the process down quite a bit.  However, I will do my best so that our 14K lbs that we are moving (mostly) by ourselves will become a measly 13.5K.
