Day One: Yeah, this is going to be hard!

Ok, so I was all gung ho to get this rolling. I took a bunch of pictures of some of my worst areas (YIKES!) I set out bins for "Sell", "Donate", and "Return" (I have a lot of stuff with the tags still on it, many things still in the bag with the receipt!) and I bought a box of heavy duty trash bags for the "Trash" pile.
Then I sat down for what I thought would be a relatively quick and simple first task: go through Sunday's newspaper.



For those of you who know me, you know that this is actually quite a challenge for me. I thought at first, I'll just pull out sports, the coupons, and the classifieds, take a quick look at the front page section, then throw the rest away. I wish I could have stuck to that thought process. Once I got in there, I started reading all of the sections. And instead of pitching full sections, I was going through taking out a page here, a page there...it was BAD!!!
