Cleaning out the Junk

I am a terrible hoarder… but I need to de-clutter soon, as I am planning some really major work on my house in the next year, and I have to get rid of all this stuff i’ve been acumulating all these years..

The old rule of thumb is if you haven’t used or looked at it in a year, junk it!

That is a good rule, I really do try to follow it. Hubby has a habit of saving things, esp. electronic type “junk”.He says, I may need this someday.

I actually don’t have too much junk, since I got rid of a lot of stuff when I moved.

I do hang onto all of my old books though. I can’t part with them!

We hold on to our old books also. Many are in our storage shed. So happy that we buy ebooks now!

I am like that with books, I am very attached to my books and I will never change to ebooks, I like to hold the real thing in my hand.

Some things do have emotional attachments. It’s hard to fight that.

I like real books too. The only way I see myself using e-books, at least at this point in time, is if I have to travel for long periods of time with limited space again. (When I studied abroad in Italy, I realized exactly how fast I can go through books!)
