Remember when I previously urged you to take a look at StumbleUpon? Well, I changed my mind. That was bad advice. It is deliciously addictive, and if you’re to get anything done at all, just forget that I ever mentioned it. Proof.
Today, my only goal and objective is to get my laundry folded. In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit to you that yes, I did all of my laundry Monday. Meaning I washed and dried it. But there are currently four loads of laundry piled on the sofa, making the whole house look embarrassingly sloppy. I fault those mentioned in the previous paragraph.
For those of you have led a far more productive week than I, yes we are still in the bedroom. For today, I encourage you go through your clothing and get rid of everything that is unflattering or that you never wear. If you’ve never done this before, this could be an unfathomable task, not quite fitting into my “small things that make a big difference” mantra of 2008.
Therefore, fit in whatever seems reasonable to you. Go through one drawer or one section of the closet. Perhaps we can get a game going. Who can toss the most items of clothing? (And by toss, I mean give away. You know that.) Or possibly even, who can toss the ugliest item?
If you feel overwhelmed with this task, just remember — anything you accomplish today makes your home better than it was yesterday.
Stumble it!
Gah! Sarah! More wonderful distractions (StumbleUpon) to throw my way, geesh.
One more thought on old clothes. If they are REALLY old, or stained, or whatever, and you wouldn’t necessarily want to give them away, you can use them as inexpensive (free) filler for homemade pillows or cushions…just wrap them in a piece of batting. Good way to recycle!
That is an AWESOME idea! Never would have thought of it. Thanks, Jen!
I haven’t done this in a few years and I’m overdo - I would like to tackle it with gusto one of these days. Today is not the day. But why not? I should just do it.
