Spring Cleaning Makes Me Happy

I spent a lot of time this weekend CLEANING! Who would have thunk it, me, cleaning? I guess when the mood strikes, embrace it!

And oooh, it felt good! I love getting rid of old junk and organizing things. I am definitely not my father's daughter in that way. My dear dad loves keeping everything.

I spent a lot of time cleaning our den because that's where most of the leftover crap with no real home ends up. I went through our file folders, cleaned them out, and filed or shred everything that has been stacking up for the last few months.

I took all of our cd's out of their plastic cases and alphabetized them. Right now they're sitting in shoe boxes until I can find a good booklet to put them into. The stands were just taking up too much room. I also cleaned up our big bookshelf and alphabetized our movies, which let me to realize that my husband has a severe movie obsession!

Mid-way through the process. This took me a good 2.5 hours to finish!

I went through all of our closets, cupboards, and shelves and got rid of pretty much everything we don't use. How's that for some catharsis? I feel free!

Now I just need to load up the car and head to Goodwill!
