Subject: RE: Summer Declutter & Fitness - JULY '13
For me, this is the month of the annual yard sale. I have been bagging things periodically but now is the time to get things all marked and delivered to the yard sale site. It happens to be in a very large garage that is used only to store a motorhome during the winter....otherwise it is completely empty. Actally, it's big enough to store 2 motorhomes...not sure why they built something so big...anyway...tables will be set up by mid month and we are welcome to set out things up 2 weeks early. I hope to take advantage of that and not wait for the big push at the last minute.

I have a financial goal in mind. I am wanting to add a room to our house...a small room, no bigger than 11x11. It will have hardwood floors, 2 windows, room enough for an electric fireplace (that we have and don't use since we added the pellet stove), a stereo, flat screen tv and my yoga mat. Yoga has gotten very difficult to get to and expensive since I need a sitter and classes are already not cheap. There really isn't any room to have a quiet space that doesn't need to be precleaned every time I want to practice...so I proposed a small room dedicated to my yoga practice. If I can set enough money aside for it, it's a go. The biggest expense will be the windows.

I like the declutter thread...keeps me on track sometimes. My house is still cluttered but perhaps less cluttered than it once was...or maybe not since we have a very busy toddler.

What would you change the name to Maggie?
