Day Three

Still working in the kitchen.  Cleaned out 4 more drawers and went through tons of papers that I had been moving from one spot to the other for a few days now. 

Trash/Recycle:   2 piles of papers

Sell:       1 cookbook

Donate:   0


It doesn't seem like much but not only am I getting rid of trash and things I should have gotten rid of years ago but I am finally getting things organized.  Hopefully I will have more progress this weekend and finally get finished with the kitchen.

Day Two

Didn't get much of a chance to really dig into anything today...off to work then football practice.  Cleaned off my desk and I found a memory card I thought was lost forever!!  I'm so excited! 


Trash/Recycle:   Broken Pens/pencils/crayons
                         Broken toys
                         scraps of paper


Donate:              0



Sell:                   0

Day one

Today was actually a pretty good day.  I wish I could have gotten into more but the day sped by and I had a hard time motivating myself.  I worked on cleaning out some of the cupboards in the kitchen.  I was hoping to get the whole kitchen done but there really was a lot of stuff.

Trashed/Recycled: 10 baby bottles/rings
                             5  old rubbermaid food storage containers/missing lids
                             1 set of misc. measuring spoons/cups (didn't have complete set to sell, cheapy from dollar store)
                             stack of papers
                             broken electric mixer
                             2 ratty old pot holders
                            

Sell:  1 pair of margarita glasses
        1 coffee mug

For the first day I thought it was pretty good.  I wish I had more for the yard sale pile but I'm sure I'll get more, the more I dig through stuff. Even though I've only cleaned out three drawers, two cupboards and the underneath of my hutch, I feel SO much better.  I really can't wait to really get to working on this!! 

Inspired!

My good friend Robyn has inspired me to join her in this decluttering project.  I keep saying over and over how I must get rid of things in my house and I just never do it.  I was so excited when I read her post about this idea.  Basically my goal is to get rid of 2011 things by the end of 2011.  I think I have plenty of things around here to do just that!  Things will either be sold, trashed or donated.  Here are the rules.
