I' ve been cleaning this weekend. Not as much as I had hoped...but still...cleaning. And I currently have a monstrous pile of clothes and linens in my hallway outside my bedroom door. It has occurred to me that if I simply discarded old clothes more regularly, then ...well...my house would be a lot easier to keep clean. It is kind of shocking how many clothes I have that I don't wear. And what's even more shocking is *why* it's even hard to get rid of them? It's like I have to hold onto it until it's so outdated, worn, etc...that it's an obvious throw away or donate. I also have a whole wardrobe of clothes belonging to my mom that she'll never wear again. They're all larger sizes from when she was healthy, and she has lost about 7 or so sizes since then. She will never fit into these clothes again...so I should obviously just get rid of them. I would say..clothes, papers, and dishes are my undoing. If I could just get those streamlined...everything else would be cake. On a funny note...I discovered...or unearthed rather...a very tacky black purse that I actually used to wear in Junior High. It is so strange..I don't know why I kept it? I must have thought that it was still usable..or would come back into style??? There is NO WAY that I am ever going to wear it again. There is no way that I would even LIKE TO wear it again. So I'm sending it off to Africa with my mom's old wardrobe. Part of me is curious to see what the people who end up with this stuff think? Are they really appreciative? Or are they like...what? More of this dated crap? How am I supposed to bring sexy back in this?
