In efforts to keep my house from looking like a storyline from a TLC show about Hoarding, I started going through my piles of clothes. Dozens of dress pants, jeans, hoodies, blouses, and shit that has tags on it still, strewn about my walk-in (yes, walk in closet that has more clothes that I actually wear, waiting in piles to go in and be put away- looks like the line for the soup kitchen on a cold, winter day.)
Now, I may not be a fine example of organized, but I do know where everything is, well, sort of. My goal by the end of fall is to have no clutter, no clothes that I "may" wear again, not piles of papers that I just don't know what to do with and to have everything labeled so I can find it.
I first started this project in my car a few weeks ago. There were things in my tiny Corolla from our wedding three years ago and from 2006 when I traveled to Tennessee for work, 4 jobs ago. It didn't have a place in our house, so it made a home in my trunk. Upon finding my treasures, I said to myself, Never again will I just throw things in my car because I am too lazy to find a place for them. Then, I pulled out 10 pairs of shoes, 10 pairs of shoes that I clearly haven't worn in 2+ years. I wanted to punch myself!
I was actually embarrassed, then I got to thinking, if I got into an accident, all that shit would have exploded out of my mini sedan and I would be charged with littering.
Since I am human, clearly not perfect, i thought i would share one of my many flaws with the world. Either you find humor in it or it may trigger some motivation in someone that needs it to get their shit together. One thing is for certain, I am getting way better gas mileage... ;)
