Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

Desk Drawer – again!

Published on

,

As the end of the year approaches, I’ve decided to “start” decluttering all over again.  I began this journey in earnest with our bathroom.  I then moved on to my desk.   Here are the things that didn’t make the cut this time around.

1 box of pencils (16 pencils), counted as 1 but it could be 16!
5 postcards
2 protractors
1 chemical rings stencil
1 circle stencil
1 curvy line stencil
5 different types of address labels

16 (or 31) items leaving the house!!

    Hey, Barb, did I ever answer your question about my new site?
    I went self hosted, cuz my daughter sells for GoDaddy, and I got free hosting for 2 years, by going thru her.
    With all the trouble WP is giving me, about saying I don’t have a site anyway, IE locking me out of my wp.com,if I could go back, I would just pay to upgrade.

      haha someday this will be “over”. It’s nice to know we are looking at stuff differently than before this “adventure”.

      Hope you have a great Christmas! Hug the babies for me! We both start our 3 weeks off today and can’t wait to see the pregnant kiddo!

          haha Will do!

          Speaking of buying girl clothes, when we went to Ulta today, the Carter kids clothing store is next door. So proud of myself – everything on clearance and only spent $11.
