Home mysteries

Pretty quiet Saturday here in the Finger Lakes. B had to work most of the day, which is unfortunate, but they have a huge deadline coming up, so it's necessary. I started to clean out my closet of all those old clothes and shoes that I never wear. I made a Salvation Army pile that will definitely go, and a "I probably won't need it, but if I get rid of everything I don't wear I'll have nothing left, so I'll keep this for now and reassess in a few months" pile. Since my drawers and closet aren't organized, I don't really use them which severely increases the amount of clothes clutter in our bedrooms.

I say bedrooms because B and I have our actual bedroom that has the closets, dressers, bed, pictures of us on the wall, etc. and then we have the room we actually sleep in - the guest bedroom. I can't even remember when we started doing that, but it was a while ago. The guest bedroom is always cleaner as we keep the clothes clutter to the regular bedroom, and it's in the back of the house, so it feels a little more secluded from the road. Funny habit I guess, but it works just fine for us!

It's absolutely unbelievable to me how quickly we can accumulate items we don't use. I am not a pack rat at all - except when it comes to random craft supplies - and yet I feel like every time I weed through paper, books, or clothes, I have no problem finding piles of things I can get rid of. Oh to have a house filled only with what you need and love and nothing else. I wonder if that's attainable? My guess is that it's at least more attainable than where we're at now.

Tomorrow is Wedding Day. We have some catch up to do and tomorrow is the day. Unfortunately, B's Saturday work schedule prohibits me from having a computer for an entire day each weekend, which really cramps wedding planning. Additionally, my boss reminded me on Friday that our big trustee meeting is only a month before the wedding, so it'll take some careful planning to navigate those two realities. Hope you have a great weekend!
