I'm the biggest offender of keeping magazines and books too long! Tomorrow was supposed to be my day to declutter (among other things planned) & really hoping I can still do it!

Printing this one out to pile up somewhere, LOL! DH and I go through Home Reorgs every now and then. I'm in one right now. I do fairly well, especially in clothing (having a kid and running out of space with her outgrown clothes prompted me to do that for her AND myself). I could be better, but I'm definitely not the kind of case seen on "Clean Sweep" and "Mission Organization." The Cus has old railroading magazines which he's kept, but yanno, when we go on our roadtrips, we often use them. And too, he's good about separating what he thinks he'll use and what he knows he won't, and the latter get thrown out.

I find it easier to go room by room, then cabinet by cabinet or drawer by drawer. I did two more drawers today in the kitchen, stored some of the pieces to my cannister set (tool holder and napkin holder) and a ceramic cookie jar which are currently not being used, and rearranged some appliances to give me more counter space. Tomorrow I'll probably work on the cabinet I'd initially planned for today.

My greatest fear is
that there is no PMS and this is my personality!
