why this definition today you ask?

well, my house feels cluttered. do you ever feel like your house or life is cluttered? i feel like that. sometimes i just have to purge... get rid of the junk... or even things that aren't junk and just clean out drawers, closets, rooms etc. sometimes it just gets to me that things seem to find their way into my house and just stay there, even if they don't have a place.

truthfully, the problem is that i love going to goodwill and the ARC... or any thrift store really. i end up finding 2 or 3 little treasures with every trip. i bring them home and they seem to get pushed to a corner or something along the way. dan and i have come with a rule... you can't go to the goodwill unless you take a bag with you.

i know, i sound ridiculous saying that i have too much stuff, but i think that if you open your sock drawer, or kitchen drawers... or hall closet, i bet you'll find at least 10 things that you could give away too. try it. i bet you'll like it.
