I’m on it!
Lately I have had the urge to clean up the stacks of stuff we have around the house. Maybe it was The Queen’s dictate of doing five things a day, or Hubby losing track of stuff, but it has gotten under my skin. And things are looking much better around here.
Now, a lot of the stuff is his, that has been collected while he’s been away. But we also have boxes of books and papers that need their place. This weekend sounds like a fine time to organize that on some shelves in the garage.
Sigh… 😉

What a waste of a good weekend…

No kidding. But it must be done! 😉

Don’t cleaning binges just lead to cleaning purges?

I’m hoping…

Nothing says “I’m serious about cleaning” like a 55gal drum used as a burn barrel.

D’oh! Unchecking the email box!

I can’t have a burning barrel here, unfortunately, and I curse WP every day for that stupid default option.

Cleaning is contagious, and your post has inspired me to spend some time cleaning around the nooks and crannies at my place, too. But when it comes to junk mail, I already have the perfect system:
I always go to the mailbox through the garage, and return the same way. That way, the junk mail never makes it past the trashcan, when I’m returning to the house. If it never gets inside your home, you never have to deal with it later. 🙂

Believe me, I do that. It’s just not enough!

Don’t throw out any old books by accident. Like the ones this guy did…

I had to acquire another bookshelf the other day. I have a lot of books. Anyway, I found a first printing / edition of “Rob Roy” in a box. I need to look into that.

When Eldest visited the castle yesterday I apologized that it was not the neatest castle on the street…. She said that hers was usually like that- but not recently as her mom had been on a cleaning tear! It made me laugh! Such a sweet girl, that Eldest!
