I was doing great with the organization and clean up of the house until I hit the snag of the people not showing up from Craig's list to take the entertainment center. I kept feeling like I should contact other people on the list or do another post in an effort to get rid of it, but I just don't want to burn another Saturday waiting for someone to show. People just aren't reliable enough to make it worth my while.
Today's Oprah about decluttering inspired me and I finally bit the bullet and just booked 1-800-GOT-JUNK to come on Friday. They did an excellent job when we called them in Denver and I just want to get all this stuff out the garage and the excess out of the basement. Plus, it's not like the stuff that can get recycled/donated won't be ... I am just having to pay money for someone else to go through the trouble. When you think about it, I'm really helping the economy. There, I feel better about it when I put it that way.
After watching the show, I do think we're way ahead of the curve in terms of not having clutter in the house. I got tight in the chest just watching the show. For me, the worst part was watching her try to put away the clean laundry into a drawer stuffed too full. I am (literally) having problems breathing just thinking about it. Tonight, D will be required to clean out his sock drawer which has gotten so full that I have to stuff socks in when I do the laundry. Drives me absolutely nuts.
I seem to be making up for not doing a post yesterday by doing three today. Off to make dinner.
