Where Does it Come From?
Woman in the Middle | June 7, 2014I know I have whined about this before, but where does all the junk in my house come from????
A non-profit I belong to recently had a Goodwill fundraiser. Basically, you collect people’s stuff and Goodwill comes and picks it up and gives you money. Knowing my group would be making money off of this motivated me to clean out every drawer, cabinet, and closet in the house. Right after that was the bridal shower at my house which motivated me even more to clean up and toss. Yet, as impossible as it seems, I am STILL finding stuff that I don’t need. How can that be?
I took, and I am not kidding , over 20 boxes of stuff to the fundraiser (at some point I lost count). One of those boxes was stuff from Brother Dear and all the rest was ours. I swear that I do not shop that much. I am not one of those people who goes to thrift stores and garage sales and drags mountains of stuff home.
I keep thinking that at some point I will have fully cleaned out the house. I will have a garage that is not full of junk. Yes, I know, I am a dreamer!!!
I think stuff mates at night when we are asleep. The other thing is that I will buy something that looks really neat but it ends up impractical for some reason. Can’t throw it away. Maybe someone else would find it useful. Of course they don’t! And that is how I fill up closets!
