In order to help set aside money to pay for the 2011-2012 hockey season, I'm going on a spending diet. Notice, I did not say a fast, but a diet. :)
I'm also in a major spring cleaning mood, which is odd since it is -15 degrees out today. Hardly the "spring" cleaning weather, but I'm in a major purge mood. Unfortunately I'm very behind in yarn winding, so most of my purging will have to wait until the weekend. However, I did open a Bonanza account and have listed a couple items there. I also am going to list all of our DVD's on Amazon's trade-in program (how cool is that?) and do a major closet clean out of clothes.
I read an interesting post in a forum yesterday that really resonated with me... could I get by wearing only 7 articles of clothing (not including underwear and socks obviously)? And the answer is DUH... of course I could. I mean really... I wear jeans, hoodies, and fleece everyday... I really do not need all of the other crap in my closet. And even with my jeans, I have my 3-5 favorite pairs and the rest of the 10-15 pairs just sit there. So here comes the closet purge.
So goals for this week...
- Finish the Sunshine Yarn winding - - Thursday deadline, so must stay focused on that task!
- List DVD's on Amazon
- Clean clothes out of closet
- Get back to knitting sample sweater for Nutty Creations
