Last week I made the declaration that Tuesdays were going to be my haul it all away day.  Or something to that effect.  I am happy to report that for at least one week, I have remained faithful to this statement!  Let’s all pray that it continues.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again – one of the daunting factors about decluttering is that all of that STUFF takes a lot of space.  At least in my house it does.  If I’m not diligent about getting it out of the house it makes me feel smothered.

So the good thing about this new weekly process is that I can take a deep breath, after I load it all into the car.  For a couple of days anyway.  Progress!  It’s progress people.

Let’s see what’s going to live with someone else today:

Books, books and more books…..

Books that have been read…..

Some books that we have multiple copies of…..

Books that we know are never going to be reread…..

Books that can now be loved by someone else.

Clothes.  Now, when I take something out of my closet and it makes me feel bad, or sad, or it just doesn’t feel RIGHT, it goes straight into the donate pile.  I’m not keeping anything in my closet that I don’t love.

In a few months, I may be naked.  I have a LOT of clothes that are just – meh.

And they have to go.  Also, have I mentioned how much I HATE to shop for clothes?  Yeah, there is that factor.

767 Taste of Home magazines.  Not really, but seriously.  I cannot remember the last time I picked up one of these to read.  Now someone who will no doubt appreciate them can give them a home.

More clothes…..

A couple of CD’s that I missed from last time.

A pair of Pottery Barn curtains that I loved for a couple of years that have been patiently waiting in a closet.  Oh look, another purse!

More pants that are too big, yay!  A robe.  Do you know how many times I’ve worn this robe?  That would be a big fat ZERO.  It’s lovely.  It’s plush.  It’s also hotter than Hades and I can’t stand it.  Now someone who likes to live in a plush, warm robe will be very happy.


Aaaaaand that’s it for this week.  I’m loading this all up and getting it out of my house.  What have you hauled away recently?  Do tell.
