…. one step closer to getting my life organized
Being organized and having a place for everything makes me happy. Today I cleaned out every drawer in my dresser and filled a garbage bag with clothes that have gotten too big for me or I just don’t wear anymore. Even my husband let me bag some of his old clothes. Amazing!
We did a huge vegetable shopping today. I’m reading an interesting book that recommends you cook all your vegetables the day that you buy them and then they’re ready for the entire week. It was a lot of work but my fridge is now stocked with prepared side dishes for seven days. I roasted a head of cauliflower, 2 bunches of broccoli, 6 beets, 2 sweet potatoes, and 1 winter squash. I cleaned and steamed a bunch of kale, beet greens and dandelion leaves and with the stems, leaves and cores I made a pesto. Very satisfying. I love trying new things. The book is called An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler.
I bought my husband a new wooden cutting board today. Our old one had split in two and K really misses having a large wooden board to work from. When my husband is happy, I’m happy.
Cheers!

I cleaned out Rahul’s clothes shelf last week…it made me so happy but Rahul is STILL lamenting the loss of some over-loved moth eaten kurtas 🙂

The clothes that my husband let me throw out were also moth eaten. I’ll never understand why he didn’t throw them out himself. Go figure!

Oh that is the best feeling in the world when you can clean out the closet and get rid of old stuff! Thanks for reminding me there are a couple things I’m ready to toss.

Such a good feeling to get organized! (But I secretly wish we lived closer so I could go through you bag for refashion possibilities 🙂 )

Every time I do this I think about you. I have saved a few pieces to refashion. Now I have to make my sewing machine more accessible. Right now it sits behind the bird cage and I have to move it somewhere where the dog won’t bother the birds.

Wish I could be so organised. Husband and I are hoarders. We hang onto things just in case they might come in handy…sometime.

My husband thinks I’m a bit of a hoarder but he never looks at what he hangs on to.
