My Life in a Nutshell
Well, since it's almost the beginning of Week 4 of the challenge, I figure it's time to post Week 2's household evictions!  The challenge is getting harder (I'm actually up to Day 27 of pictures, which means I'm really bloody lazy in updating this blog), but part of me figures that I could probably go a few days past the end of the month.

Parts of my house feel emptier... of the twenty or so drawers in my bedroom, half of them are empty.  The shelves in my walk-in closet are half bare.  My kitchen table has nothing on it.

But overall, I can't say that it looks totally different.  But I know that in the end it will all be worth it - as long as I don't fill up all the empty space with more crap!

105 things gone so far... still close to 400 to go!!

One of my dreams is to have one of those homes where there's no clutter... the kind where you put one decorative piece on a shelf and call it a day.

Let's just say, my condo is far from that.

But, this month, I'll get closer to that goal.

A co-worker and I have decided to do the Minimalism Game - starting at the beginning of the month, you get rid of one thing on the first, two things on the second and so on and so on until you get rid of 31 things on the 31st (why did we choose such a long month - why we couldn't have done this in February is beyond me!).

We've made it through the first week, and are halfway through the second.  We've set up a Facebook page to post pictures of what we're getting rid of, and so far, so good (I just wish I hadn't taken two car loads of things to the VV boutique in the last couple of months, cause Day 31 is going to be a bitch, and I've already been told I can't throw away 31 grains of rice).

Here's a picture of what was ridded from my house in Week 1... 28 items gone, 450+ to go!
