Live Photo-Blogging the Weekend Crap Cutting Marathon

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I kind of have a purse addiction. So you can understand that it was hard to get rid of these. I am so brave!


Let's not discuss the 12 purses still in my closet.

This is an antique from the 1990s. I am pretty sure there is no one from this decade who wants it (plus I lost all the accompanying software) so I guess it's getting responsibly e-cycled.



Can I remember the last time I needed to staple something at home? No. But luckily were I ever to need a stapler, I have three in various sizes and colors!



The white-board markers are from my days teaching for the SAT. Don't ask me why someone over the age of 10 needs scented markers. I kind of want to sneak these all stealth like in to a school somewhere. I'm not entirely sure that it's worth the potential breaking and entering charge though.



This is a pretty cool clock, n'est ce pas? I really like this clock. Notice, however, that this clock is clearly on the FLOOR and not say, on a wall. I am having a hard time letting go of it, but I am also kind of skeptical I will ever hang it up.




That's a lot of crap!



This is my kitchen trash can.


It's way too big for my tiny kitchen. When I bought it, I was resigned to it's size. Doesn't everyone need an enormous kitchen trash can? Now that I generate almost no trash it's become somewhat of a pain. The small trash bags I use are swallowed by the can. Today it occurred to me, why do I need this big trash can? So I decided to move my smaller bathroom trash can into the kitchen.


See! It fits under the sink!

I am very happy with my new kitchen trash can. But I still needed some sort of trash can for the bathroom. What could I use?

Brilliant or crazy?


Brilliant!

Ahh, I love looking at other people's crap! I think I'm decluttered out - not that I don't have it after a month of shoveling stuff out of the house but I think I need to take a break, regroup, steal more of the kids' toys while they are sleeping, that kind of thing. Though the photos do invigorate me . . .

Ah well, have fun! Nothing like a decluttering purge.

you are inspirational! Seeing that I'm moving in two months I've been eyeballing items in my closest thinking about what to get rid of. It's so hard! I don't really think I have much to part with, i.e. I only have one stapler and one smelly pen (seeing those brought back childhood memories). However, do I really need 10 long sleeve t-shirts? But which do I part with they all have memories attached :(

We have the same garbage can set! For the two of us plus dogs, the larger one is a decent size... plus our kitchen is the largest room in our tiny house... but the bathroom one is a nice size! I've never really understood bathroom trashcans... I never have any TRASH to throw in them. It either gets flushed (kleenex) or recycled.

Way to go, Arduous! You kicked some serious butt this weekend. And I love your new bathroom trash can.
