Reduce, Recycle, Redux

Really, it is kind of unbelievable how much stuff a family can accumulate in just 8 months.  I mean, right up until the very day we moved here, I was practically a weekly visitor to our Goodwill location in Delaware. It got to the point that the guy at the donation drop off saw my car rounding the corner and knew it was going to be The Chick Who Was Moving to Pittsburgh.

Now that we're moving into our new house in just two weeks, history's repeating itself.

What I donated today. *

Don't. Give. Me. The. Look. Snoopy.

Just.

Don't.

I'm sorry, didn't we just do this purging thing?

Why, yes, we apparently did.  On March 8, 2011.

Now back to the packing ... and making sure all felines are accounted for before sealing up the boxes.

An "everything but the kitchen sink" (obviously) box that I packed earlier this evening.

* Donated items .... because I lost ALL MY ITEMIZED DONATION LISTS when we went to do this year's taxes and lo and behold, I remember that I BLOGGED ALL MY DECLUTTERING SKILLZ and all of a sudden when the blog becomes the source of a POTENTIAL TAX DEDUCTION then The Husband has a newfound appreciation and love and respect for such trivial blog entries such as this. Yay me.
