August Clean Out

At the beginning of August I decided to set a goal of cleaning out, dumping and getting rid of something every day. I have mentioned before that I hate clutter and excess.  While I don't want to be a true minimalist with a bare house, I would love to be able to name every item that I own and know exactly where it is located.

Anything beyond that is probably not necessary.  However, I live with two other people, so I can only get rid of things that are mine unless I have my husband or daughter's blessing.

Here is what left our house in August:

Trash
Old running shoes (too decrepit to donate)
Everything in my bottom night stand drawer
Black flip flops (broken)
Contents of bag in kitchen cabinet
Contents of box in older son's bedroom
Items from kitchen junk drawer
Items from top dresser drawer

Sold
Husband's wetsuit (apparently he is done with triathlons)

We sold one of these

Gave Away
Glassware (belonged to late mother-in-law; gave to brother-in-law)

Donated
3 bags of clothes
Old bedsheets
Snuggie
5 pocketbooks

Recycled
Plastic gladware
Old piano book


And there you have it - my August cleanout.  Thanks for reading!
