I started out saying I had been home all day and then I realized that is not right. I drove to the high school and walked at 6:30 am and then this evening I walked down to Tamera's and got a costume for bowling tommorrow. My team wanted to do something really easy. So we are all going as graduates of Teton Lanes. Just a graduation gown with a sign on our backs. I am even using my 1967 tassle.
I had a girl from the college come and work for 4 hours cleaning out my cupboards in the kitchen. I was definately in the cleaning mood. I am good to help other people clean and dejunk but when it comes to my home I struggle deciding what to get rid of. I started thinking about my kids and the fun they will have going through everything and thinking why did she keep this.
I went through my receipe books and sent a few to DI as I never use them. I have one I don't like but it was a gift. So how long do you keep something you don't like but it was given to you as a gift and especially from a memeber of you family? It is interesting how many diet books I had. Fit or Fat System, Protein Power, The Carbohydrate addict's, Fat Burning Food, Body for Life. I tried to call my daughter to see which ones she would recommend to toss. Glancing through the Carbohydrate Adict's I had hylighted a lot. There were 11 things that said within two hours after eating a full meal do you have these signs. Well I thought in Hawaii I had almost all of them for reactive hypoglycemia.
My bedroom I had an extra curling iron I don't remember where I got it and haven't used for who knows how long. So into the DI box. Why do I save things that I have replaced.
Here it is Saturday a nice day. Continued the cleaning. Got all of Geoff's stuff out of boxes and organized it in his room. Have a huge box for DI. It feels so good to have empty spaces. It fact it is so nice to have some days at home to clean. Dad gave his shelves and bench on the west wall to Mark Cook. He is making a smaller one. He said when they took it over he had forgotten how much stuff we have given them. We are glad they can use it.

Oooh doesn't it feel good to purge? I do that every once in a while just go through & declutter & get rid of stuff! Sorry to hear you didn't have any trick or treaters :( That tells you times are changing. Didn't Lisa or Brook bring their kids by?
If we would have been around we would have come over.
I also love a good purge. Maybe it is time to get rid of more junk.
I love to purge, but sometimes I throw out stuff that I end up needing later. I guess the big thing is checking to see if I have something newer or similar around.
I threw out my boots yesterday. I have four pairs of boots but for the entire deployment I only wore one. The rest are issue, are stiff and give me blisters. The pair I am wearing right nowgave me blisters so bad the first time I was in Kuwait that I couldn't walk. I'm not doing much walking in them right now, and its no where near as hot as it was over a year ago. I think I will put them in the shower to soften up the leather.
Ah, anyway! Kind of got off on a tangent there!
Good to see you update!
Sometimes i have an easy time getting rid of stuff, only to regret it later. lol
how was Hawaii? We want to hear about it and maybe some pictures?
Yeah - I'm sure we will be getting rid of more stuff as we move. Nice to donate to DI :)
I agree with Lia - we need pictures from Hawaii!!
