    Yay! Yay for you. Get busy, sister!

    on an interesting note here, DH is considering purging part of a financial investment that causes obstacles in managing it. So, that will be good, if it happens. We havent been able to transfer ownership of this stock into our trust instrument, and that is a giant PITA.

    That sounds like a good idea. Did you get what you wanted to accomplish done when your messy other half was gone?

    I got rid of a few things. He will be gone off and on for the next few months to take care of his father, so I will have other opportunities.

    DH isnt messy, he makes neat piles of everything. Then they spill over. So yeah,
    I guess that is messy!

    Tybee, it is nice when people just take stuff and you don’t have to haul it away. Do you have a lot of stuff to get rid of?

    I read that the average person has 160 tops whic includes sweaters, sweatshirts, t-shirts, blouses, etc. So I counted and I have 58. Then realized I only have 3 pairs of casual pants, 2 dress pants, 4 capris and 3 dresses so I have gotten rid of more than half of my clothes in the last 6 years since leaving my full time job.

    Terry, we do, because we have a pole barn and a too-small house. So we have stored things in the pole barn and accumulated more with the idea that we will move from the too small house. We also staged a flipper house in SC and I have that furniture out there, because there is no room for it there.

    Someone took the card table, so yay! I will have to go out and stick a bookcase out there and hope for the best.

    I reorganized my dresser/armoire Tuesday evening and purged some shirts and sweaters. Now, everything is neatly folded Kon Mari style for the upcoming Fall. Asked my daughter which of her many water bottles we could get rid of - she picked out four. Now the rest fit nicely in a basket on my kitchen island. All items added to a couple of donation bags downstairs.

    i'm going to a scrapbooking crop this weekend, so as I pack up this evening, I'll look for items that I can donate to the give and take table. The trick is to not pick up other stuff to bring home.

    Tybee, are you in a area where you could use some selling sites to get some money? I use Craigslist, OfferUp, letgo and next door.
