The less "stuff" we have, the freer our minds are. Hmmm.

So where were you when I was staring at the blank computer screen hurting my brain trying to come up with a decent title?<br /><br />Hey, Chicken Mama - I know. The hair and other glunk just didn't show up in the picture. And, frankly, I was too embarrassed to take a shot of what was growing under that blue plastic basket when I took it out.<br /><br />You have no idea how long I've had some of those lipsticks. I did save one "pricey" tube for you though.<br /><br />Hi, Jen - Well, I probably wouldn't have had the gumption to toss all those lipsticks if I hadn't recently found the most perfect one. It looks good on me (I think) and is a muted shade that seems to compliment any color clothing I have on. And I'm not kidding when I say the ones I dumped were old. Can you believe early 90's? (Oh, I'm so ashamed!)<br /><br />Hi, Kate - Gotta admit I was thrown for a second there this morning when I opened the drawer and the RED jumped up at me! But I like it.<br /><br />Hey, Beth - So glad it tickled you. I really wondered if people would start reading it and delete me from their computers forever. ("Good gawd, what drivel!")<br /><br />Hi, Karen Sue - Wow. Wanna come redo our bathroom?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-38295012279243826572010-01-21T10:27:43.334-06:002010-01-21T10:27:43.334-06:00I'm in the middle of a 'simple' bathro...I'm in the middle of a 'simple' bathroom redo. I do more DIY that hubby, but neither of us messes with this kind of plumbing. Old blue tub out, new large,white shower in, old ornate (read UGLY) medicine cabinet out, new bigger, sleeker (read wipe-off-able) in, old vanity with blue sink out, new white in. So I am hearing you about the clutter and the tossing. The old vanity just went into a dumpster, so I just pulled the drawers out. I did throw a bit out, but I will be relentless when I put stuff back. Great time to get rid of junk. I combined 3 boxes of band-aids into one box, along with collecting them from where they had scattered through out the drawer. It's good to be me. I get such joy from some small acts of cleanliness.<br />Congrats and pat yourself on the back! Job well done. Sometimes this can be catchy!

I have a couple of give-away bags I keep my stuff in (mostly the free samples that the bags came with!)<br /><br />And I'm with Chicken Mama - in awe of throwing away lipsticks.
