I have a head cold and feel pretty awful. I came home from work a little early and tried to lay down. Laying down made things worse. So I got up and started cleaning a bit. We hired someone to help with cleaning and they are doing the first cleaning tomorrow.
Most people have a junk drawer. It is usually in the kitchen and holds all of your foreign change, broken pencils, rubber bands, etc.. We have one of these in our kitchen.
We also have a junk room. We call it the media room since the majority of the junk is all of the books, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, 8-tracks, and old forgotten computer media. It also happens to be a great place to stick things when you want them out of the way and you are not quite sure what to do with them.
Well the room was exploding out into the foyer. Something needed to be done. I started cleaning. It is like trying to eat the entire never-ending salad at Olive Garden. No matter how much I chip at this thing it still looks like a complete mess.
But none of that is very blog worthy. I just wanted to let you all know that I have found 4 years worth of unopened and untouched white pages and yellow pages from the phone company. We’re talking around 50 lbs. of useless paper. The good news is that all that paper is out in the recycle bin right now. The bad news is that I am not sure I remember ever doing anything with any of the other 4 years of white and yellow pages that have been delivered to this house. Does this mean I am only half way done with cleaning the junk media room??!?

Moving repeatedly does two things: It cleans out your jusnk drawer, and leaves you with several boxes that you never want to open, because you know it will take a week to sort through each one. But at least I haven’t been moving the phone books!
