We have to clean out the room we've been using as an office/storage/home of the elliptical machine. More importantly, we need to clean it out before we go visit Lauren and Ed in July, since we plan to haul a van load of baby stuff home with us and need a place to put it all.
In order to clean out the office, we have to make room in the extra bedroom to put the stuff we don't want to throw out. There's not as much stuff in there, but the closet it full and the bed is covered in the maternity clothes people have given me that I've sorted through but haven't found a permanent home for yet. And of course I have multiple bridesmaid dresses that will never be worn again.. And then there are the shoes that breed under the bed in there...
In order to find a home for the clothes and shoes, I desperately need to clean out my closet, which still mostly contains the work clothes I haven't worn since February. Some of it I can still use, but most of it I don't need at all at this point. I have a lot of dress clothes and suits that need a new home. Greg has a lot of clothes that need a new home. I could easily start my own thrift store with all the stuff I need to get rid of!
So, I guess I start in our closet, then the back bedroom, then maybe I can get to the office eventually. I can't actually move much of the stuff in there anyway, the boxes and furniture are too heavy. But if I make room somewhere else, Greg can move it all easily enough. Now to get started. After I take a shower. And maybe get a nap...

UGH! I need to clean out closets in a BAD way. But I hate that as much as you hate packing!
You know who LOVES cleaning stuff out, especially old stuff and just stuff you don't want anymore? MEMEMEMEMEME I LOVE IT. The FlyLady stole my gig, man. That's not to say I'm organized, but I absolutely despise clutter, and having anything around my house that I don't need.
So for reals, if you want help, please call me. This is, like, one of my favorite things to do.
Freak.
And I would completely embarrassed to have you in any bedroom in my house right now. It's just that bad. But thankfully we'd already organized a lot of it the last time we cleaned out, we just gotta find a new home for the boxes of stuff we didn't want to throw out (and re-examine our reasons for not throwing it out last time!).
Are you getting rid of your elliptical machine?
