I worked hard for the money today. So hard for--eh, you know the rest.
I'm on another purging kick again. Did you know that throwing things away is one of my favorite things to do? Sometimes when I'm feeling down or frustrated or stressed out I'll set myself a little challenge to throw enough stuff away to fill a certain amount of trash bags. This weekend my goal is 2 large black trash bags, and I'm well on my way.
The funny thing is that even though I live my life in one medium sized room, I can always fill up trash bags with things that I just don't need anymore, or that I never needed in the first place. It's amazing how much I've gotten rid of since I moved out here, but then again, I'm always acquiring things as well, especially craft supplies. It's particularly hard for me to throw away craft items because I just never know if I may very well need that random little item at some point. Has that ever happened to you? I've tossed things out before in the spirit of decluttering, only to come across the perfect project for that item a few weeks later. That's frustrating, for sure.
Another funny thing is that my room does not look cluttered, but somehow there are always things that I can get rid of. How does that happen? The backs of my drawers must open into Narnia.
Narnia, you say?
Now that is funny.

Good for you for being so productive! I love clearing things out too, and have gotten much better about not buying as much because I don't have a place to put it. I've started to see "things" as a liability, so that helps curb my purchases.
Oh, I wish I lived in your world of de-cluttering. I suppose it will only happen in my dreams or if a certain someone takes a weekend away.
please consider goodwill, there are so many people that could use the things we no longer find use for. and.... it is good to recycle these things...a happy earth! i find myself making a trip every week.
Crazy that you can find so much to purge in your tiny place! It makes me wonder how much more I could get rid of...
I throw away things all of the time, too. Our recycle and trash bins are ALWAYS full. Always! I save too much junk. Like I have five egg cartons in my craft closet just waiting for a project. Why? Do I really need more to-do's? I should trash them. Really, I should.
My favorite time to purge is while Chris is out to sea so that I don't have to listen to him arguing about how we might need that random object at some time in the future. :) I'm a lean, mean, throwing away machine.
And I love the second Narnia joke! Awesome!
