Purge Thursday: Spree!

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 want to get rid of until I filled the bag up. The bag which is on its way to goodwill is currently holding:
- 4 stuffed animals
- 4 pairs of jeans
- 6 more candles/candle holders
- 2 bras
Next time I’m out and considering tossing impulse buys into my shopping bag, I need to think about how annoying it will be when I’m going on a purging spree through my house tossing things in a bag because I know I don’t need them and can’t use them. Of course, you never think those things you’re buying today are going to end up this way, do you?
I once came up with this rule, based on my fetishy relationship to tiny houses and my fantasy life where I live in one, wherein if I were trying to get rid of something I would say, “would I want this in my tiny house?” and hope to make a snap decision based on that. As time has passed, I’ve stopped applying this directly because I should make use of the house I do live in, which is far from tiny. But it’s still there in the back of my head, and was certainly present yesterday on my purging spree.

I love tiny houses! They are so sweet and cute and perfect. Big houses actually kind of wig me out. I don’t think I would be able to relax if I owned one. So much to worry about.
I know when KC and I get our apartment (whenever that will be) I will definitely going through the purge. There will be a lot to get rid of.
