Channeling Martha Stewart...

Recently I have been doing some spring cleaning.

Yes, I know it is October.

And I am not sure if I am late for the cleaning, or perhaps I am way cool and organized and I am early for spring.

I started in part because of the remodel of our master bath.

I started with the drawers and cabinets in the bathroom.

I am seriously thinking of opening up my own hotel, because I have so many small shampoos, soaps and lotions. Just amazing.

The basket is bigger than it appears. Travel Much?

I never really finished the bathroom. I think I got through 2 drawers and one cabinet.

I am easily distracted....

I next went to my "candle cabinet" in the family room. Yes, I have a serious candle problem.

I decided the cabinet that was holding all the pyro stuff was too small, and I wanted to use said cabinet for my other addiction: scrapbooks.

So candles moved to a large cabinet in the craft/office/laundry room.

The stuff that was in that cabinet was dispersed or donated elsewhere.

Do we see a pattern here? While I am getting rid of some things, mostly I am just moving my crap around the house. I don't know if that constitutes spring cleaning, even if it is Fall.

I guess I am getting rid of some...I have been to Good Will 2x in the last month.

Some of the things that I have come accros, made me wonder

WHAT AM I DOING WITH THIS STUFF?

Such as:

14 pairs of old sunglasses. all scratched or broken

several old rolls of used film. One unused roll of 110 film that expired in 2000.

Not pictured are:

boxes of baby teeth

several letters to Santa (not mine)

girl scout cookie order forms dating back to 1999 (?)

I threw the whole family for a loop when I moved all the medicine, bandaids and vitamins out of a kitchen cabinet and into a mud room cabinet.

It is hard to teach old dogs new tricks....

I suppose after 10 years somethings are just a habit.

I still go to the old cabinet for my vitamins each day too.

I should be taking that ginko stuff for memory, but I keep forgetting to buy it.
