ON TARGET

Speaking of Target, can't wait until we have one here!  In the spring, I believe.  Can't get me enough of those great things I really don't need, but I am enticed to buy.

Now speaking of things I don't need, I set some arbitrary goal of recycling one garbage bag (or more) a week to keep things clutter free and dejunked, and throwing out one garbage bag.  I have met and exceeded my goal each week of the last month.   Last week was especially productive with 5 bags going.  Sounds like I have a lot of junk, but really,  just a lot of stuff that I don't wear, need or want.  Today I cleared two closets and found some purses to sell, winter gloves missing their mate, some shoes that I think make me look like a grandma - even though I am a grandma and a cool vintage dress I was going to have dry cleaned two years ago and haven't yet.  I held it up to me and it isn't even my size - yet I hung onto it for too long. I went thru the laundry room and threw out a bunch of unmatched socks and used lint sheets.   I can't think of a useful way to reuse dryer sheets.  I always feel more energized when I have some space in a closet or drawer.  I am a little paranoid these days about having too too much stuff since in the last 4 months we have moved both sets of parents out of the family home; and they had too too much stuff.  Feeling good about meeting my goal of 1 bag+ 1 bag.  I am on target.
