THE GREAT PURGE

Okay, so yes, I have had a career as an Organizing Consultant and seeing all those lives practically destroyed by clutter has caused me to try really hard to keep my life de-cluttered. But, in the midst of working a lot and life in general, things tend to pile up and/or get stuffed in closets or somewhere out of the way.

So, this past weekend and Monday I spent HOURS working on our house getting it whipped back into shape. I threw out about 6 big bags of trash --- it filled up the rolling trash can -- and 3 bags of Goodwill stuff. I was brutal. Now that it's over I find myself walking around opening cabinets and walking into rooms just to admire my handiwork. Awesome! My only regret? That I didn't take 'before' pictures. You won't be as impressed as you should be since you can't see what it was like BEFORE the great purge. You'll just have to imagine it.

This is the bathroom cabinet -- down to the basics. No more extra junk.

Here's the bathroom in our bedroom -- all nice and clean.

And our bedroom. You should have seen the dust bunnies under the night stand. They were worthy of "Dune". . . about the size of sandworms.

And the office/sanctuary . . .with dog.

and our living room -- no junk, no clutter!

And the dining area got purged of extra junk . . . including the inside of the secretary!

And even the plasticware got culled and classified.

I AM A HAPPY CAMPER.
