Nancy great job!!! isn't nice to work outside now that winter is behind us!

hi motivated... so nice to meet you!!!
hi smile have a nice trip

I am ready to deal with the extra stuff my dmom gave me this week that was my ddads. most will go, dgirls chose what they wanted and I chose what I wanted. not much just the stuff that reminds me of him. his hat he always wore... my ddad was a sailor and wore a greek fishermans hat almost all the time because his irish polish blood made him burn easily.
it is always a joy to be here with you!

Been decluttering the office - again -

I think I've reached a new level of clutter! Not a lot, just the stuff that I'm never sure where to put. Ordinary everyday stuff was already dealt with.

But I had to go through some files, restaple, shred duplicates, etc., stuff like that. Now the stuff that was sitting around, several stacks neatly in the corners are now dedicated to their own places, added to files, new files made, just the last level of stuff needing done.

Bin for odds & ends now empty. All surfaces are clear with just the usual stuff on them, pencil cups, calculators, computer stuff, lamps. I think I'll bring my furniture polish back now and clean all the surfaces. YAHOO!

I must admit though that this stuff is easy to do except for making the decisions about where to put. I'm not emotionally attached to any of it, like blessed is dealing with, it's just ordinary paper clutter.

Nancy a great yahoo to you!!!

I am donating tomorrow ceiling lights we still have in boxes and never used or opened. I called habitat for humanity and they said I had to go to a restore kind of far away so I will just donate to the local shop or church.
also I have been thinking of one exercise equipment no one uses. a bo flex. we made the mistake that we bought the main part but dmom said she had the other piece and it never worked and no it is obsolete. we have the ymca so that is okay. so today and tomorrow starting to let go again.

my dmom is going to my dcousins in another state to help her let go of her stuff.
it is always a joy to be here with you!

Decluttered a bunch of computer stuff yesterday, and donated some this morning. Working on getting all old and unused computer stuff out of here, but DH holds on forever. I'm determined though, so progress will be made.

Good job to Nancy and blessed and Harmony. My garage is next on the agenda for clean out, so Harmony's success was an inspiration.
