As you might guess from Josh's comment above, in our marriage that task falls to me! But we haven't had too many "Roy Rogers garage sale wagon wheel coffee table" moments. I mostly give away my own stuff. Although I do pitch his socks when they get holes in them, and that makes Josh nervous. :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110475906348538090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-1138834208595062462006-02-01T17:50:00.000-05:002006-02-01T17:50:00.000-05:00Tom, I'm so jealous of your clean garage!

That's one of our major projects still to come...de-junking, cleaning, hanging shelving, and putting up peg boards.Alainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572980494087728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-1138828680550542232006-02-01T16:18:00.000-05:002006-02-01T16:18:00.000-05:00Alaina, I have to say I share your sentiment on "d...Alaina, I have to say I share your sentiment on "de-cluttering." I seriously cannot be in a room with "junk" laying around. Rebecca knows all too well... :)<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, I've only thrown away a couple of magazines she wanted to keep so far. (At least, that's all she's discovered I've pitched at this point. j/k)<BR/><BR/>De-junking is definately therepeutic! I think we just have a few more corners of our house to go before we are clutter-free. <BR/><BR/>I've always used this little gauge to get a sense of how cluttered we are...can we park both cars in our garage? :) For at least the first year we were in our house, we could not! I'm glad to say that now we can! You should have seen the pile of junk waiting for the garbage men the week after that little de-junking spree!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-1138822899282518612006-02-01T14:41:00.000-05:002006-02-01T14:41:00.000-05:00I'm going to have to side with Andrew on this one....I'm going to have to side with Andrew on this one. You can't throw stuff away willy-nilly. There must be the thoughtful approach to dealing with "tidying up".Josh Gillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936822009681819544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-1138816449228558602006-02-01T12:54:00.000-05:002006-02-01T12:54:00.000-05:00I love getting rid of junk, it feels so freeing.I love getting rid of junk, it feels so freeing.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800387502967637493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-1138802336412308592006-02-01T08:58:00.000-05:002006-02-01T08:58:00.000-05:00So can I hire you to come do that with my stuff? ...So can I hire you to come do that with my stuff? :)<BR/><BR/>Oh and loved the story about the grocery store...the world is full of funny people.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881958296233044289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-1138752952077989922006-01-31T19:15:00.000-05:002006-01-31T19:15:00.000-05:00*cheers* I totally agree that simpler lives are be...*cheers* I totally agree that simpler lives are better. Who needs the stuff that hasn't been touched in a year or more? <BR/>I am sorry Andrew if she has taken it to the extreme, but I am sure one day you will look back and think what a brilliant wife you have!
