The Urge to Purge

No, I’m not talking about losing weight…. though I could stand to lose a few inches around the middle. Instead, I’m talking about getting rid of the extra weight in my house and garage. So much “junk.” Too much “trash.” If you were to glance around my home, you would think everything looks so nice. But the reality is… there’s too much “stuff.” It’s gotta go.

But where do I start? In addition to 7 bedrooms with full closets, a 4 car garage that only fits 1 car, a home office with papers everywhere, and multiple full “junk” drawers in the kitchen, I have a husband who likes to hang on to dumb stuff… (well, in my opinion, it’s dumb). So, I decided to start with his desk, bathroom counter, and drawers. He’ll never notice. And I will feel better right away…

Then, I will move onto the kitchen drawers. A big box… DUMP! I can go through it later. I already know what’s in there… old cell phones, batteries, pens, rubberbands, pens, you name it. Junk.

Lastly, I will head into the closets. Salvation Army and Goodwill, here I come! Of course, I will start with my husband’s side…He’ll never notice. And I will feel better right away.

Time to purge!  ~LV
