We spent months hemming and hawing over whether we should buy a new house. While the prospect was enticing, we've decided to stay put and freshen up a few things here instead of dealing with the hassle of moving or spending gobs of money on a new place. Since then, I've been on a mission to get rid of the worthless stuff we never use.
After cleaning out and throwing away a huge garbage bag full of things from our kitchen drawers yesterday afternoon (I'll take Pens That Don't Work for $500, Alex), I tackled the basement. I cleaned out and put into the Goodwill pile a bookcase and a bunch of board games, then went through a zillion shelves in the utility room. I found stuff that was left here when we bought the place...six years ago! It was therapeutic.
After taking another armload of junk upstairs, I hustled back into the basement, nearly satisfied with my progress. But I started to wonder if I'd taken things a little too far when I heard Chad whisper to Lucy: "Just sit here and be really quiet. I'm starting to worry if we make too much noise she's going to throw us out, too."
