I have your blog RSS fed into my livejournal friends page, so I don't get to reply as often as I like. Good for you for cleaning out and I love organizing (I get such a thrill from it myself) As for the Nano. I've put my name down as a participant as well. Unsure how I will go with Exams, Marking and reports to write at the same time. November = insane. Good luck. Hey there gorgeous.

Going from 2,000 sqft to something more like 700 forced us to be a bit brutal. But this cleaning has found at least four things we thought had been lost in the Black Hole of Multiple Moves AND leaves us feeling like we can breathe, like everything actually has a place rather than having a hiding place where we can close the door when company comes over. :) I have a feeling there will be a rather brutal review of my fiction bookcases before we're done. I think I need to set up some guidelines about what I will throw out beforehand, and have Matt make me stick to them. Do I really need those high school copies of the "classics" that I hated so much? Can't I just get them from the library? Yeah, that's as much access as I really need. . . . Well we started the every-move cleaning out when we left Maine.

Thanks for the RB (reblog! ;) ) I am a clutter queen! I save every freaking thing. I get it from my mom. As a matter of fact, last year she was cleaning out her house and found my Girl Scout vest from when I was, what, 12? Yeah, so guess who has it now. That would be me. I have to start doing what you're doing though. I've got boxes I haven't yet unpacked and we've been here almost two years. And the sad thing is, obviously there's nothing in there I need, right? Well, there are some boxes we've rummaged through looking for stuff, so I know some of it is needed, but most of it? Obviously not. I almost want to just dump it altogether, but I'm way too pack-rattish to do that. I salute you for de-cluttering your house! Someday, I'll follow in kind :) VG I was totally going to reply to this even before I saw my name in there! Thanks for the RB (reblog! ;) )
