Well, this month was certainly interesting. BEFORE I found out we were moving to New Jersey I did this:

I went through my nightstand and got rid of:

2 piano music books that I never use
1 Benadryl topical stick that expired in 2008
5 pages/scraps that I’d torn out of magazines but never needed. One was on the new standards for alcoholism. It really was interesting how very little you have to drink to be considered an alcoholic. But I don’t know who I thought I was saving it for. David and I don’t drink.
1 spiral notebook on which I’d tried to write a story. It was terrible.

Being organized means I don’t waste money buying something because I can’t find what I already own. Clutter gets in the way and wastes my time. Anyone else want to join the Declutter Challenge? Amy will post a linky at the end of each month so we can share our successes and encourage each other.
