2.1.11

Here is it February 1, 2011... time to set some goals for this short month.  Lots going on this month so time to start prioritizing.  My mind is spinning with all of my thoughts and ideas - - along with everything I need to do!

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
Watch out everyone... there is going to be some major listings on Ebay and Bonanza selling stuff from my household!   It's TIME TO GET DECLUTTERED!
