It's much easier to do that than trying to clean the house in a day. As I go through things, I put stuff for the thrift shop in a grocery bag. Over the course of about a month, I fill a bag. Off to the thrift shop it goes, and I pull out another bag. It's an ongoing process that helps me keep the clutter down. :-) Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-46401734859989925722014-01-27T12:27:37.783-05:002014-01-27T12:27:37.783-05:00Bwahahahaha!

Otherwise, I would be right there with you! And I hear you on the soap. I think my kids forget to use it too.

First, congrats on 500 posts! Wow. Just wow. I don't even think I'm at 50. That's amazing. <br /><br />I loved this one in particular because I've been cleaning out drawers, closets, and cabinets throughout the holidays, and coincidently I went into a drawer in the bathroom to get new toothbrushes for the kids and realized, holy shit, I need to clean these bathroom drawers out! Fast forward two hours and I'm reading this post - LOL. I think the main thing a person would learn about from my bathroom cabinets/drawers is that I dress up for Halloween. A lot. I found tons of colored hair gel, vampire blood, scar tattoos, and face make up! WTH? I mean a TON. Also, I have a lot of eye shadow for a person who doesn't wear make up. Why? Why nine dealies of shadow? I don't remember the last time I wore it. No joke. Also, what are all those weird bra strap things? They must be for "convertible" bras I'd purchased that could turn into a strapless, or cross back, or whatever, and I've ended up with all these strappy things. I'm sure I no longer even have the bras that go to them. Other than random odds and ends, there's really not much. A pair of tweezers...of course. Blush. Mascara. Deodorant. Q-tips. Advil. Lots of advil. <br />Pretty boring, really.

All of my spots need a cleaning out and each says something different about me (also I lovelove that Cow asked if you were preggers because one of my first thoughts was "I haven't organized like that since I was pregnant or when Tucker was a newborn and actually slept more hours than he was awake). <br />Um. Office: I'm a slob and very unorganized and should really catch up on the last year of scrapbook<br />MY dresser: I'm a slob and have a bunch of really nice jewelry so I must use it and look festive at all times (I never use it)<br />My bathroom cabinet: I love lotion and tampons and really old crumbly soap<br />My closet: I must have a corporate job because SO MANY SUITS. Oh wait, except they're dusty...and too small. Huh. Also, I'm a slob. <br />My kitchen: I have a kid who has way too many toys<br />My wallet: I am organized and efficient, except well, there are credit cards that haven't been used in five years and have expired in there, so maybe I just have good credit?<br /><br />This is hilarious and awesome, Christine, and WTH is a cleaning swap???<br /><br />I did take down our Christmas lights outside yesterday, and put away the Christmas wrapping paper that was on the office/guest room bed, so that's big points right?? Oh and I gave three boxes of too-small kid clothing away...<br />Still. I am so with you on the need for this. In fact, one of my "resolutions" (in quotes because I'm a slob and don't really do them) is to spend 20 minutes a week de-cluttering just one tiny area. So far, this year, I'm okay... mostly.

Once it's clean and organized, we need to keep it that way!<br /><br />I'm glad you found it amusing. :) We seem to have a PILE in each and every room of things I don't feel like putting away. They are disappearing quickly, though. You have gotten me pumped for this decluttering!<br /><br />Hahaha about the clips and ponytail holders. I had a variety of those, plus bobby pins, hanging out in the back of the cabinet, too.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-76164451221869482942014-01-18T15:11:26.736-05:002014-01-18T15:11:26.736-05:00I have opted for procrastinating for way too long....I have opted for procrastinating for way too long.

No need to worry about people showing up at the house and seeing them, so they are lower on the priorities. Good for you, tackling yours! <br />It seems once I start decluttering one area, I am much more motivated to tackle others.

We'd have a whole lot more space and my meltdowns on clutter would be non-existent if I'd just conquer one thing at a time. That's what I need to do! :) I am so glad though, that I'm not the only one who feels like that sometimes!

And once I get something clean, well, then I want more clean. And I am really concentrating on keeping the clean areas that way and not re-cluttering. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Lizzi is right - this is hysterical! And oh so familiar...we also have a "place to drop all things I don't feel like putting away right now." And let me tell you how big THAT pile is! The old appointment cards and such in the wallet? Had to laugh because I'm pretty sure I still have our old address on my information/emergency contact card. That's pretty bad. <br /><br />Your bathroom definitely says more exciting things about you than mine says about me. I think the most I get is "here lives a woman who has really itchy skin and fears running out of hair clips and ponytail holders even though she wears the same clip and ponytail holder every time she uses one.
