Weekend uncluttering

What have you uncluttered this weekend?

I've been throwing out empty containers from the laundry, but not much else. Electronically, I've been filing emails. I'm joining some friends doing a 100 day project, nominally starting 1st September. My goal is to sort through all the unfiled/flagged emails I've had lying around for far too long. So, I created the File of Shame, moved everything older than two days in there, got rid of some 'temporary' folders that I haven't looked in in months, and came up with nearly 3,000 emails. I've dealt with nearly 300! Sure, these are easy ones (school notices from last year, junk mail, Facebook notifications), but every little bit helps!

Big piece of furniture OUT

We had this huge desk that was given to us (without our asking or desiring) by my father in law and I finally sold it on craigslist. Not for as much as I really wanted but I was getting to the point of paying for someone to take it so really it's a win win. The wall got a little banged up but I can't complain too much. A touch of paint will fix it up and we need to repaint anyway.
