**HAPPY DANCE**
I think I've been watching too much "Hoarders" (in fact, I'm watching it now 
).
I have been on a mission to throw some (bleep) out!
My husband and I have got three apartments crammed into one very small place. It's my old place, my husbands old place and all the stuff I brought over from my mom's house after she died last year. AND after I lost my teaching job in '09, I have half my old classroom in here too. We have (had) boxes everywhere; in closets, on top of our kitchen cabinets, on our back porch, even under our kitchen chairs!
Last week, I started throwing stuff out. Clothes no one's going to wear went to Goodwill. A box of binders of old handouts from college and my old job went in the garbage. I managed to reduce my 3 boxes of Christmas decorations into 1 box and one Christmas tree bag. My mother managed to keep every card from every birthday, holiday and special occassion. She was ill for 16 years and she kept EVERY "get well soon" card (she lived in a much bigger apartment than we do). I kept a few from each category and threw the rest away.
I feel awesome!
Now if only I can get rid of my husband's computer parts collection without him knowing......
