My sis and her family and I will be going to church together this morning and then out to lunch. And THEN, I will work for 4 15-minute segements on my patio. I will be wearing work gloves... there black widow spiders in our area and I've killed a couple on the patio earlier this summer. So I will exercise extreme caution when pulling things out of cabinets.<BR/><BR/>I have to just buckle down and throw away stuff. It is really hard for me to toss anything, so I need to get tough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20607637.post-1156074339929817152006-08-20T04:45:00.000-07:002006-08-20T04:45:00.000-07:00I am in!

I've been decluttering off and on in there (maybe every other day for just a few minutes), and I've found stuff from literally 4 years ago!<BR/><BR/>But, for this challenge, I choose the kitchen since we actually use this room (obviously, we don't use the dining room at all!). A change in there would be far more noticeable for the family and therefore would come closer to "instant" gratification for me.<BR/><BR/>I leave for work in a few minutes, so I'll start on this challenge tomorrow (Saturday).<BR/><BR/>Good luck to all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20607637.post-1155923657965852772006-08-18T10:54:00.000-07:002006-08-18T10:54:00.000-07:00Hey - it's my favorite Declutterin' Doc! :) I'm so...Hey - it's my favorite Declutterin' Doc! :) I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter is leaving for college on Saturday - that must be a huge emotional drain.

It is quite cluttered and not at all pretty. I've had stuff piled up there and I'm pretty sure some stuff has been there for years.<BR/><BR/>So that will be my big project for the upcoming week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
