New Year, New Start

It's really hard for me to get in the mood to deep clean. After I do it  I always feel so much better and think, "Why was I living like that?" For instance, I have lots of cupboards full of stuff that I never use. I've had these white dishes for probably 10 years, they're very inexpensive and never used. I finally got them out of the cupboard and took them to D.I. Ahhhhh.
 This cupboard is just full of CDs that I hardly listen to. I decided to put the ones I still like on my i-pod and clear out that space too.
 The pantry is what I really dread.  I set the timer on the microwave for 45 minutes and made a goal to be done by the time it went off. It took me that long just to get everything out. So, it was closer to two hours but I talked to the kids as they came home from school to get their snacks out of the pantry and it finally got done. Now I know what I have and what I need and where everything is. It's a good feeling.
Now, for the closets...maybe next January.
