No doubt about it, I am a disorganized person. No matter how much I try & tidy up...
I am one of those people who open the closet door, toss it ( whatever it is) in and close the door.
MyFP today is that I have recently moved, as some of you may know and be thoroughly sick to death of hearing about, and this old (farm) house is short on closet & shelf space.
So, what is a woman to do? How can I maintain this illusion of being totally together (HA) while having this gynormous mountain of (useless) possessions lurking in the 'carriage house'/ storeroom just waiting for the precise moment to explode and give me up?
YARD SALE!!!

WYFP is our community's Saturday evening gathering to talk about our problems, empathize with one another, and share advice, pootie pictures, favorite adult beverages, and anything else that we think might help. Everyone and all sorts of troubles are welcome. May we find peace and healing here. Won't you please share the joy of WYFP by recommending?
Truly, I had no idea how much stuff I had accumulated in my life until I packed to move last month. I had the wonderful fortune to live in the same place for 25+ years, and accumulated more than my fair share of things in that time. However, I now realize that I only require about 1/4 of those things at this point in time. So what to do? I regularly peruse Craigslist, and have found a few items for my current house through the listings. I found a great dishwasher for $40 and have sold several items the same way - in-fact my former tenants left a cord of firewood that I needed cleaned up and I listed it on Craigslist and it was cleaned up within a week.
My point is that the things that I found important in my earlier years I now see as excess baggage and I am working to lighten the load. There is a freedom and satisfaction in attempting to not make such a massive imprint on this earth. I am grateful for a roof over my head, a warm house on a cold night, good health for all my loved ones, food on the table, friends & family and a good night's sleep!
So aside from too much collected shit to unload what's your f*cking problem?
