I just wanted to explain to all my readers who come here to see what I get from Rite-Aid(for free or almost free)why you haven't seen me shop there since something like January or February of this year.
Yah see, I really don't need to buy any toiletries right now.
And I probably won't need any for a few months more.
The last week or so I have been making trips to my storage locker and have gotten the last of my tubs of spare toiletries I was keeping in there.
Yes, I am down to my last 5 tubs of toiletries stockpile items.....well, if you don't count all the toilet tissue. ;-)
And I finished clearing/cleaning out the Daughter's bedroom. Got a box of items to ship off to Salvation Army, paired down what it stored in the closet and got both dressers cleaned out.
The dressers are now filled with toiletries.....
There are 5 more drawers I didn't pull out to photograph.
There are also 2 tubs in the hall linen closet which I think I can combine into 1 tub now as some items have been used up in those.
And on tonight's agenda is reorganizing and going through the hall linen closet.
On the Decluttering Front--
We sent a broken inflatable bed(had to be re-inflated every 4 hours!lol)and an old lumpy futon mattress to the garbage last week.
Then #1 Son took my oak Queen Anne leg, butler-style coffee table back with him when he left this morning(pardon the dog hair tumbleweed in the photo)......
He and his GF can use one and this one is small so it will fit better in the apartment they will most probably rent. Hubs kept his mother's coffee and end tables when she died(which have been living in a bedroom upstairs)so we'll use that coffee table in the den now.
I have another smallish Asian style coffee table which may or may not go in the redone living room. but I am not ready to part with it yet, just in case.
I am not a big fan of coffee tables anyway, because we are "horizontally surface challenged".....meaning-we see a flat surface and we can't help ourselves but pile it with crap. 8-)
This morning, since I was on a "roll" in the getting rid of stuff department, I also boxed up a set of 8 Christmas themed drinking glasses and a Wizard and Dragon Votive candleholder from the kitchen and the dining room hutch, respectively. Now Hubs has room to put his beer glasses in the kitchen cupboard and I don't have to have them sitting out on the counter 24/7. I swear, some days with the barware and the empty bottles, my counters look like they need an intervention by the Bar Rescue Guy.....
I have decided to make the curtains for the living room out of that lime green bolt of fabric I have. Hey!, they may end up being loud compared to the other colors in the room, but I'll like them. ;-)
So what has everyone else been up to in their copious free time this past week/weekend?
