The uncluttering continues - Some magazine give-a-way offers included.

And so does the angst. I just found a folder of printed out fanfic.

I still have my lecture notes from college, and collected letters of all my previous boyfriends (not so many). I really have to find the courage to throw away so much stuff.
Keep posting this, please.

This is timely - I finally found the courage a few days ago to discard university notes, high school essay papers, and even my driver's ed notes from when I was 16 years old!

I think it comes down to needing to be in the right frame of mind. I'm currently inundated with JUNK, both my own and things I brought over from my mother's house after she died because I was too emotional to make a proper decision about them at the time. The house has reached critical mass, and it was either start purging or move out into the backyard like some of those characters you see on "Hoarders".

You have my sympathy, and my unwavering support, hon. Baby steps...you can do this!

I did some decluttering the week my family went to Mexico. It wasn't as hard as I feared, although I had already gone through and cleared out my room twice. I got rid of a box of textbooks from university, five more boxes of books, and three blue bags of recycle. I also tossed the teen magazines that I had saved because they had my favorite people on them.

I cleared off my bookshelves and boxed some more books so instead of having a ton of clutter on there, I now have pictures, some stuffed animals, and my bag of makeup. My TV seasons and movies now fit on a shelf as well (not that it was hard as, even though I got rid of some, I didn't have that many to begin with).

You can do this, just breathe.

Wow, people keep this sort of stuff. I feel like an alien right now. Because I chuck so much away.

But I admire you for taking the courage to chuck things away. You can do it. And now days you can always google images of people etc.

I have a GQ from sometime in the 80's with Joe Montana on the cover. I have ALL my hand-written journals from 1982 to date. (Even when I stopped writing a journal in a notebook, I still wrote most of my first drafts up to at least 2008/9.) I have folders full of letter from my father, birthday cards, run-bibs etc. Maybe I also have problem. :)

We've moved a lot. At least six times and we moved countries so maybe I'm the strange one.

I'll take any yummy Hugh pics off your hands for you. next time I'm going to be at the Mint I'll let you know (I can pick up that CD too)

[karaokegal]

Do you have any of the ones I listed? Otherwise, I'll put them aside from you?

[chocolate_frapp]
