Why Do We All Need So Much STUFF?
I guess about once a week I decide I want to have a huge yard sale. I seriously have this idea that I will drag all my junk outside, and then people will begin to fight over who saw it first. Then when all of that stuff is gone, I will start bringing people inside the house telling them, "its all for sale!" I just have so much stuff that I would love to send home with someone else. I am seriously thinking of spending a week, going room by room cleaning out all of our JUNK. I will call it: Operation De-clutter.
I would really like to go through every room, closet, drawer, corner, and cabinet in my house and clean out everything that I haven't used in the past month (other than holiday/ seasonal stuff). It is ridiculous how much we have accumulated since we moved into this house 4 years ago. I wish I was the type woman who could get a new black purse and GIVE AWAY the old one. Am I the only one that feels this way?
I read an article about cleaning out the clothes in your closet except for 30 items. OK so that is a little more extreme than I am thinking about. I have 3 pairs of black flip flops--- why? I have 5 trillion bracelets and earrings- 9 million different pairs of blue jeans (ok so I embellished a little)- but why do I need all of these. Now that I don't work- I rarely wear jewelry and other froo froo stuff.
So is there anyone with me on Operation De-Clutter? Ok maybe not that drastic but, does anyone feel this same need to de-clutter their homes? Send me your comments, ideas, and I welcome your advice!
