I am a notorious pack rat. I have a really hard time getting rid of stuff, especially if it has some real or perceived sentimental value.
I must say, I am so proud of myself!
On New Year's Eve Pat and I de-Christmased our house. We had all of our decorations in file boxes. He went the store and got three big plastic bins - red and green.
While he was packing the ornaments from the tree I was ruthless. I tossed out SO much stuff.
I won't bore both of you with all I tossed out, but it was crap and needed to go. We consolidated and got rid of EIGHT boxes.
That felt so good. Maybe I'll hit the office next.

I DID hit the office next and got rid of about 24" stack of paper and "stuff". Maybe 2009 will be the year I'll quit being such a pack rat. It feels so good to get rid of this stuff. More stuff to toss....
Man, I'd rather have a root canal than go through stuff and purge. Ughh. Bring on the Mafia thugs and just beat me up instead.
Can I say it's just hereditary...like not wanting to dust?

Beans,
You would not believe the stuff I've tossed. I cleaned my office, plus have been tossing more stuff from the home office. It's like I can't get my hands on enough stuff to throw away!
Is it funny that I almost don't believe you? :-P
P.S. Now I know why I have so much crap packed into my room!
