Purge Thursday: Actual Trash

Right now my energy for organizing freecycle or going to the thrift store is nil, so I looked around the home office here and found a mess of clutter, like, can’t even access the shelves in here clutter. It’s a big job but for a start: A tote bag a friend made me in 1995 […]

Purge Thursday: Mess o’ Cassettes

Posted by

Probably just about everyone reading this is of the right generation to have been witness to the prevalence of the cassette tape. By the time I was choosing and procuring my own music, cassettes were in their peak of production. Of course, now the nostalgia market has images of the cassette on t-shirts, pillows, purses, […]

Posted by

Remember the optimistic, joyous, burden-removing start I had when I said I was going to get rid of one thing every Thursday?

Please note that chewy Spree is an abomination. Anyways. I don’t have much to show you today, no fancy pictures of my junk. Yesterday I found a large, sturdy shopping bag sitting in the bedroom from Christmas shopping or something. Rather than just throwing it away, I ran around the house grabbing obvious things I […]

This week I decided to hit the bookshelves. This is something that will undoubtedly happen again as the weeks wear on and I find myself desperate for things to get rid of. In this particular case, if you don’t know, I’ve been in a book club for 8 years now in which we read about […]

Purge Thursday: Candles

Posted by

I have a box of candles. Some are smelly, some are not. Some are tapers, pillars, votives, etc. They’ve been collecting dust for 4 years. I promise I only lit the ones for this picture that had previously lit – there are plenty of unused. If you want them and you are local (not shippin’ […]
