purging boxes
Nov. 26th, 2008 01:21 pmMom was a pack rat. Not to full blown hoarder stage, but definitely a pack rat. So was my grandmother.
I got some of that. I'm not much of a card person, but I keep every card I get. (Well, except the ones from my broker and insurance agent.) I have Christmas ornaments. I have photos. I had old magazines that I thought I would get to one day. Got rid of those last week. Lots of other stuff.
Which brings me to where I'm going. I got rid of the magazines. I'm getting rid of some of the unused computer equipment. I got rid of kitchen stuff. I'm even going to purge some books.
Let me repeat that. I'm going to purge some books.
Of course, that will happen after I go through everything else.
Current target, boxes. I keep the boxes my computers came in, in case I need to move or get them fixed. But in all my moves, I think I might have boxed up the electronics once. And I've lived in the same place (more or less) for almost eight yeas. All the accessories boxes are definitely gone. I might keep the XBox 360 box in case I decide to Craigslist the player (which is a possibility in the purge). I'm trying now to decide whether to break the tower boxes down and keep them, or purge them too.
My conscious is screaming
