I think I'm going to call the Salvation Army and donate another couch and my dining room set. I need to get rid of some of this furniture! I'm running out of places to put it. I have an overstuffed chair in my dining room and with the new harvest table I'm getting from my mom, I will need more room as it is bigger than the round table that's in there now. So....here's the plan:
Take the couch out of Betsy's room.
Put the overstuffed chair in there.
Give the couch and table to SA.
Drive my husband nuts asking him to move furniture again.
Sounds good to me!
Today I spent organizing and throwing things out. You just don't realize how much crud you accumulate through the years. I'm trying to get down to the nitty gritty....keeping only the things we use or may use in the near future. If I haven't unpacked it/used it since Indiana, it's outta here. I hate feeling cluttered.
I bought my new mop on Saturday. I'm very excited to try it out....it's a Rubbermaid. I went to WalMart for Pine Sol and a pool vacuum hose and came out with $180 worth of stuff. But I really needed it....I mean, who knows if they will have the 24 oz. bottle of liquid Peppermint scented potpourri in December! And Betsy really did need a faux crushed velvet body pillow cover. And I was desperate for colorful fall leaves to put in the glass pumpkin that's on my dining room table....not to metion the bill organizer/corkboard/dry erase board I needed for above my desk. See? All things I just couldn't wait to get. Of course I forgot the lip balm I was out of as well as the fabric softener. But I can remind myself to get it next time by tacking a note up on my handy-dandy corkboard!
Ahhhh, here comes Mr. B., with a romantic proposition for me....you know the kind. It's late, the kids are asleep, hubby walks up behind you, puts his hands on your shoulders and whispers in your ear...."Come to the bedroom sweetie....I need you to iron me a shirt for tomorrow."
Now, how can I resist that?

Oh you just don't know crud 'till you have a basement...I know most houses in FL don't, don't know if yours does or not...mine does though, and it's full of crud. I can't imagine you with clutter. Actually in your last entry, I thought, oh my she actually had something under, or behind a couch. Excited to use your new mop, eh? You are too funny. I see you and I shop the same...run in for a few things, come out with half the store...:) My hubby said almost that exact same thing to me tonight, only it was..."...come up here to the bedroom...and tell me if that tie matches that shirt."
Don't you love husbands? LOL! Hi I'm Stephy I found your link in Lisa's journal today while I was wandering. You can find me here~ http://journals.aol.com/stephycce/Stephy/
And about your couches have you ever heard of Freecycle?? Might be a way to get rid of furniture. :)
LOL you are so cute. Those shopping sprees are so much fun. I love the things you bought. I have nothing like that. I can't wait to see the diningroom table. I bet it's going to look just beautiful. It sounds beautiful.

Ahhh, nothing like sweet nothin's whispered in your ear!!! Good for you getting rid of all your clutter and donating it to a worthy cause! I was just thinking of doing that myself today. If we do end up moving we have soooo much crap to move and others need the crap more than we do! LOL! Sounds like you had a great day at Walmart!

That's great that you are going through stuff and donating to a worthy cause. I did that last year, got rid of things that we hadn't used since we moved here. If I didn't miss it in 2 years don't need it :)

You know us men............ "Hopeless Romantics" he he he
we definitely need these things, and I agree, what if they are sold out next time we go in and we missed out on something really nice. Grab it while you can, thats my motto :).......Jules xxxx

Wow seems like you did some shopping at walmarts, We love to go there do you have an super walmarts only one here is about an hour way but we have couple reg walmarts we dont really like though. That sounds like a good idea about the salvation army donatioing but do it here for I can buy those things lol i'm forever looking in those stores you can sometimes found some great things and clothes. I love fall and halloween and all the decorations you can buy and the cooler weather I can not wait for. Yeah I'm behind you on that one they are always sweetest when they need or want something done. Mine does it all the time. Like this weekend lol. Well I'm gonna get going I have some more things around the house to do before my busy day starts after 3pm. Have a good day take care, keep in touch your friend Sara
lol I feel ya on the walmart thing. I can get lost in walmart. Walmart is like chips you cant just walk in and get 1 thing. Anytime I go to walmart I always leave with stuff I wasnt planning on getting.
LOL Justin always says "Ang come in the kitchen I have something for you" then when I get in there thinking YIPPEEE I get "My uniform is tangled and I need it washed and dried by morning dont forget to empty the pockets" grrrr lol
You could start yourself a business as a Home Organizer! I tell you, I could keep you busy for weeks!
