Purging Pointers

So, I spent all weekend cleaning out the guest room that is to be the future nursery and I learned a few things:

1. In four years you accumulate a lot more stuff that you realize. I should have a purge party every year to prevent this from happening in the future.

2. There is no need to save every shoe box you purchase. While a couple might come in handy, 18 is kind of a lot.

3. When folding up a bed skirt, you should not fling it haphazardly in front of you to smooth it out so you can fold it. It might - just might! - get caught in the ceiling fan and fling against the wall.

4. Beagles will eat all of the dead spiders and crickets from the closet floor. Don't worry about vacuuming.

5. There are some things that won't even sell on eBay. Just throw them away.
