On 2012 things for 2012

I did it! I got rid of 2012 things in 2012.

As usual for me, it came down to the wire. It was Dec 31 and I needed a few more things to hit 2012. I was holding a sleeping baby who didn't want to be put down. I knew there was a box in the basement that needed sorting, I had intended to toss some things from it to hit 2012. But ugh, the baby was cramping my style and impeding progress.

I asked The Husband if there was anything he could get rid of. And he stepped up! He went downstairs, got one crate of his old school stuff, and started going through it. Buh bye, old university stuff.

So we hit 2013 things out of the house in 2012. Yay us! But then I made him stop and wait for Jan 1. No sense overachieving when I'm starting again at 0 the next day. (Such a bad attitude, for shame!) Having things ready to go in the new year made for a good January 1 and a good start to the year.

One empty crate down. SO MUCH more stuff to go...

This was a good exercise for me. I am definitely doing it again this year - 2013 things for 2013. I'm at 135 things so far. Not great, but it's something.
