Christmas Ornaments, Pepsi Clock, and More!

House key. It's useless since I have a new lock.

Day 28 - Saturday January 28, 2012

Cassette tapes and floppy disks

Getting it all out of my house. It all adds up!!!!

Day 2 - Paper

The new year brings plans of organizing. This time of year stores offer sales on file cabinets, storage boxes, and other things for organizing your desks, drawers, and closets. Today I went through much of my paper clutter trying to tame the mess, shredded it, and dumped it into the recycle barrel.

This is only a small  part of what was shredded!

Two bags of shredded paper!

Day 299 - Paper Clutter

I went through a desk drawer this evening and found a stash of old bills and other old papers that were no longer needed. They will be shredded and put into the recycle bin.

Day 252 - Paper Clutter

Today I shredded another round of paper clutter. It's going into the recycle bin.

Day 228 - Paper

I went through and cleaned out my file cabinets a little bit. Quite a bit of paper was shredded and brought out to the recycle bin. Less paper; more room! I still have tons more, though. I think I mentioned previously that I have lots of paper clutter.

Day 23 - Paper Clutter

The end of January is just around the corner and it's time for W2s, and it will soon be time to do those dreaded taxes. This means the paperwork will need to be in order. Well, my file cabinet is pretty crammed so I weeded out the oldest paid bills and shredded them.

Shredded and ready to go!

You will be seeing more of this. Paper clutter is my worst enemy. Arggg!!!
