No we are not talking about a holiday romance here

Okay...who is up for another home clearing out session?

Let's clear our homes and bless someone else with the goodies that we no longer use or don't have the space for.

Let the flinging begin!

[mauvaisroux]

Okay- so the first thing I am cleaning up is my desk at work

I am usually a neat freak with my desk but have been swamped lately. I need to tidy up, do some filing and trashing and dust everything.

Starting right now!

I donated a bag full of old clothes to the dead and blind people that come by monthly. This time though I got the phone # so whenever I have more donations I can just call and they'll pick up the next day. Oh boy..time to start flinging out even more stuff!!

I've got six bags at the front door ready to go to the Sally Ann.

To the dead and blind people? I didn't know dead people needed used clothing.

I am preparing to a possible move. So I have been making a plan in my mind so far but haven't done anything. We've got about a million little stuffed animal friends that are going to have to go to a new home... and soon! Whether we move or not!
My main focus this month is going to be culling down on non-essential items in our home - like toys and chochkys and duplicate items.
Still striving for the zen-like feeling in our home. Someday... someday we'll get there!

Okay, I will go thru my closet this weekend. Even if I get back to size 18's, I didn't LOVE all that stuff. lol

Ellis - wanna come pick up the bags & boxes I have had ready to go for months, while you are at it?

Noodles - I had to read dead and the blind twice. I was like, "WTF does she mean? Zombies come to her house?"

Mauv - No fair teasing me with a summer fling. I was all up for a summer fling challenge.

Ya never know with this desert heat, GJ!!

I spent Saturday cleaning the kitchen and the front entrance of my apartment.

Vacuumed, dusted, washed all the cupboard doors and counters, as well as the walls and baseboards. Then I cleaned out and rearranged the kitchen cupboards and tossed/donated items I don't use or have duplicates of.

Sunday I did the same thing in the bathroom and then dusted and rearranged the bookshelves in the livingroom.

Phew! Need a nap now....

[Noodles913]

Hey that's exactly what we did yesterday, Mauv!! Cleaned house from top to bottom!! It sparkles...

I flinged 75% of my magnets OFF of the fridge. Somehow the kitchen looks bigger now.

Going to fling some more stuff around here today...Out OUT OUT!!!

Then going to try to sell some on the auction sites and take a load to the swap meet. Trying to be clutter-free in 2006!! (Figure it gives me a year to de-clutter every nook and crannie.)

[mauvaisroux]

Did a spring clean of the bedroom on Saturday afternoon - tossed a couple of bags of junk

[Noodles913]

Filled up 2 more bags for the donation truck!! Yay!!
