Tossed and relocated some more stuff out of the home office closet (looking better!) Started preparing some books to take to the office library -- about half of them were ones people donated to the library that I picked up last week, but processing them this quickly is a step up for me. Hope to get them done today/tomorrow so I can take them with me to the staff meeting tomorrow afternoon and they'll be gone forever from my house. Also started a filling a bag of books for the homeless transitional facility.

Test -- this thread doesn't seem to be working right (latest posts aren't showing up, although the name of the poster is.)
Later -- Well -- that seems to have bust it loose :)

Susan, I have this problem as well. I think it may be related to how long it is. What I find is that it happens when a new page gets created, but eventually it shows up. :)

On Saturday took two bags and a box to Goodwill, full of everyday stemware (we've been married ten years, it's time to use the good stuff!), some excess everyday tableware, various books, a few items of clothing, odds & ends, and a copper teakettle that I will never use again now that I have my electric one.
Last week: tossed duplicate charity appeals and a lot of paper from non-profit chapter activities.

Finally finished several decorative painting projects dating back to the summer, plus the project for our annual club Christmas luncheon. I put away the painting table and am ready to tackle some reorganization to permanently set up a painting space. This involves moving my husbands "office space", too, so I have my work cut out for me! I will be uncluttering a lot to complete this project!

DS and I raked and swept leaves, dealt with several branches broken during the last wind storm, and cleaned up unripe fruit. Between the frost and the wind, all of the figs were a loss. I had NO usable fruit from my garden this year: that's four grape vines, a huge apricot tree, two plum trees, and two fig trees -- the weather was simply too cold and wet for too much of the year. Despite the extra work harvesting makes, I'm bitterly disappointed.

Uncluttered my fridge tonight.
Out: Grapes; hot pepper rings that are several years old; a half-pot of chili; 1 serving of bean salad; cottage cheese that's been in there for at least a month; freeze pops of unknown vintage.
Used: Some spaghetti sauce (made chicken cacciatore with it); a roll of cheese cracker dough that my daughter constructed.

Recycled: one of those page-a-day calendars from an unidentified year
Out of respect for the person who gave it to me (I've forgotten who), I read all of the quotes on the pages. There were a few good ones but not that many. I would have kept it for re-use, but I already have more scratch paper than I know what to do with.

OUT: 4 magazines donated to the doctor's waiting room, including the new December issue of Martha Stewart Living. I'm getting a jump on decluttering the holidays.

Tossed: a couple dozen plastic hangers from the spare bedroom closet. Don't need them.
Into the goodwill pile: Three tablecloths. We don't use them every day, and I really don't need as many as I have.
Got two bags of books processed to take to the work library today -- hooray!
Lovely rain storm this morning which put the kibbosh on yard work but -- oh my goodness -- the plants are loving it.

Tossed: an old stick of deodorant
I don't know how long this stuff lasts, but I'm pretty sure it isn't that long.

Having a smartphone is helping me unclutter my email. Before this, I checked my email when I got home, bulk deleted all the various newsletters I wasn't interested in, read and dealt with the messages I was interested in, and called it a day. Now, I get a notification every time I have a new message. So I check my phone, only to see yet another newsletter. I never paid any attention to how many of these things I was subscribed to, I just bulk deleted them once a day, but when you see them trickle in, they get annoying very fast.
Today I got sick of it and decided to go through my Trash folder and unsubscribe from all the various newsletters I never bother opening. I got rid of 22 subscriptions so far, and I'll have to see how many more I had forgot about.
The downside? Now my inbox is getting flooded with confirmations that I've been unsubscribed. <Sigh>

tossed about 10 cotton shopping bags for groceries. don´t need that many.

Update: since my previous post, I found 11 more newsletters to unsubscribe from, for a total of 33.
I have kept a few that I'm interested in (5 so far), but I'm appalled by how many of these things I've been letting clutter up my inbox. Good riddance!

To charity:
- 1 charger for iPod. It is huge, and only works for my iPod, not my iPhone. I have kept the tiny one which can be used to charge both, and the USB cable is detachable so I can transfer stuff to iPhone/iPod from my computer.To be sold at auction:
- 6 miscellaneous vintage kitchenware items. There is a nice little auction house a block from where I live.I also have an empty kitchen table, for the first time in many years. Well, not entirely empty, there are a couple of candlestick holders, but the huuuuuge black laptop that has been sitting there more or less permanently for the past years (at least 5, probably more) is gone. I have upgraded my home network to a Time Capsule and a MacBook Air, and I have sworn that I will not let my Mac live on the kitchen table! The old laptop will probably be recycled as soon as I have completely emptied it of everything interesting/important. Perhaps I can get rid of it on Freecycle. It is definitely NOT worth trying to sell it.
