Can I just take a moment?

Can I just take a moment to pat myself on the back? Last night I went through a phase that doesn't happen all that often.  When it does, I take full advantage, because I know it'll go away pretty soon!

I've seen all the hype on getting organized and decluttered to kick off the new year, so I hopped on that wagon for a minute.  I cleaned under my kitchen sink, and I was even able to get rid of a few t-shirts.  I promise, one day someone will turn me into Hoarders because of my t-shirt obession!  I don't let myself buy them anymore, because I have a real problem of getting rid of them.  It's a sentimental thing for me. 

I also went through a few kitchen drawers and this laundry basket that stuff was thrown into when I moved from college.  Ok, soooo, I also have an obsession with pens, too, but I was able to go through them and pack up most of them to send off to school with my mom (teacher). 

Next, I found a few blankets that were in a trash bag in a closet just sitting there that I got out to donate to our local humane society.  I don't need or use them, why not give them to someone who does?

This was all a very big step for me. I don't like getting rid of my things.  I'm always thinking one day I'm going to need this.  Or, one day I'm going to wish I had that...

I'm so proud =)



This is something, however, that I'm not proud of.



Yes, that's a mouse trap. Better safe than sorry!



So, it's not a whole lot, but it is a good start!
