SPRING cleaning!!!

This weather is rad. Seriously. Nothing like the first few days of spring. Even after an insanely mild winter- the birds chirping (as long as not too closely) the windows open, the sounds, scents, feelings. Ahhhhhhh. Say it with me. Ahhhhhh.

Today, I got Vaughn dropped off at school, opened the windows and started some music. The hall closet was first to be tackled. We had SO much stuff packed in there. Its now freshly organized WITH room to spare. check.

I have turned the kitchen into garage sale USA. Mixed in with my dads work shop (bathroom is still unfinished so all the tools etc to do that are still sitting in the kitchen) is about 6 totes and 4-5 boxes of garage sale crap.

V and I headed to the garage after school and brought in TONS of stuff (along with a few nasty gross spiders.) and have added to the garage sale pile. i have no idea why I packed half the crap I packed. But I did, and I am now sorting. The house is complete disarray right now, but it will feel good to have everything pulled out, sorted, sold and reorganized. I am not one to hang onto crap. I OFTEN take things to goodwill. I have just don't have a bunch of stuff that I don't use. I never have. When I don't want things I give it or throw it away. It annoys the crud out of me to have too much clutter, stuff, nick knacks. Its like sensory overload. But Every time I go through stuff I find more I want to get rid of. So, I am. I feel like I might regret that someday. Getting rid of everything. My parents have SHELVES of stuff in their basement from when we were little and the grand kids LOVE it. And we do too. Fun to reminisce. I don't have anything like that. I have a few outfits, sentimental stuff, art work, shoes etc that I am keeping but no more than 2 boxes max.

Anyways, it has felt sooo good to get stuff going. Lots more to do but its my plan for the week. On top of editing. Lots of that to do too that is more urgent than spring cleaning.

SONG MUST HAVE:::: I downloaded Gia Lucid's "Remind Me" album. If you do not have this you MUST RUN TO DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!! It has been on repeat in my house for like 2 days. GORGEOUS!!
