Weekend Uncluttering
How has your weekend uncluttering gone? Did you go all out, and achieve many things, or did you keep it slow and steady and just deal with the basics/one small thing?
Me, I spent yesterday taking kids to assorted training and giving two of them driving lessons, and if I had spare energy I don't remember doing anything with it, but today I have sorted small areas, such that there are several areas clean! I didn't find anything new to get rid of, but I did move several previously identified items to the box in the front hall that will be leaving Real Soon Now. These include coat hangers that don't match (How do these keep turning up? I've been throwing these out at least 5 years!), an IKEA zip up box that used to hold yarn (how good is it that I've used enough yarn to be able to reconcile the boxes to n-1), and umm, Stuff (I'm not going to look. That way leads to changing my mind). I also downloaded two digital cameras, discovering photos from 2-3 years ago. I've done about half the first pass through, deleting the really hopeless ones, and kind of grouping the others together. Still need to work out how to classify them so that I can find them (this is the first pass setting up of iPhoto on that account).

Unfortunately, we got a few party favors this weekend, I bought a few books to read then give away, and I found a nice water table on the curb. We brought fewer things IN than we sent OUT, but it still feels like a wash.
OH! And I gave away a hat and ripped out 3 knitting projects to reclaim that yarn. I was going to rip out the hat, but it was nearly done and surely someone will appreciate it this winter.
