Ready To Clean

[JJJ]

Sheesh I hear many of you already took down Christmas decorations

I keep mine till Jan 1st (sometime a week or two longer )

I'm also a pack rat all thought not as bad as my mom. I have a huge walk in closet that is packed from top to bottom. Plus I had another small section in my bedroom done like a closet without the walls. My problem is that even my high school clothes fit. And I'm not the type that goes with what is trending so it's hard for me to throw away stuff when it still fits.

Anyone is welcome to come clean my place

I always keep my Christmas decorations up till the first of Jan. too Jesica. I love seeing them everyday so I want it to last as long as possible.

It's so hard for me to control my weight that I have two sizes of pants so my closet is bulging, but I do go through it pretty often and get rid of things that I don't wear. I generally only shop at Ross or discount stores online, so I don't pay a lot for my clothes and don't feel too badly about giving them away.

I usually keep my decorations up until New Years too, but I think I will be taking them down early this year. My grandma gave me SO MUCH of her decorations this year and I have everything out and it seems a little cluttered! We are going to the lake on Friday and will get back Monday, back to work Tuesday, and then that weekend my bridesmaids are coming to go dress shopping. I think it will be hectic enough without worrying about taking down Christmas stuff too!

Janet, you always amaze me at what you get done!!! Cleaning.....YUCK!!! I really need to buckle down and do some deep cleaning. All of my cabinets need to be cleaned out and stuff taken out for a garage sale.

One of our Christmas gifts was that Amy and Dae Lynn cleaned out and organized my kitchen pantry. I loved it!!! It looks so nice......of course I have trouble finding anything!!! Amy loves to organize so she's great help in things like that!!

Our tree is still up but it's coming down soon. Matter of fact....I was planning on taking ornaments off of it today and taking down the tree tomorrow. We'll see.....

Wish someone would have given be a Christmas gift of cleaning or organization. I love doing both too. I just need to get up off this fat 'you know what' of mine and get busy. I don't have to go back to the bus route until Wednesday the 4th so I have time to get alot accomplished. We'll see...at least I can mark the attic off my list.

Hey Janet, I was looking for a picture of Brooke's wedding cake for Lindsey and I swept out the dust bunnies from under the bed after I pulled out all the picture boxes. I didn't move the bed though -does that count for spring cleaning? I promise you though, if you hadn't started that READY TO CLEAN THREAD, I would NOT have done that.

[Janet]

You did good girl....

OK Janet, you are still inspiring me. I took all the "give-away" bags to Goodwill and then swept out the garage. It still needs more work, but that's all I could muster today. We have some cabinets sitting in the middle of floor that need to be hung, but we've got to hire a handy man to do that. Maybe after the first of the year. When we get those hung, the garage will look much much better!!!
