Carrie's Country Cottage

TOO . . . . . MUCH . . . . . CLUTTER ! ! ! ! !

Back in November of last year I decided that I was going to clean out the storage room as part of our fall cleaning.  We lost some panrty space in the process of re-arranging things when Austen came, and I was hoping to clear a bit of space on the storage shelves to use for boxed goods.  Well, we all had the flu that week and did not get anything done.  Gradually some of the other cleaning has gotten done.  But, I have not yet ventured to start the storage room because I know that it will create a much larger mess before I can reduse the mess.

WELL . . . .  this weekend it is getting done!  I have asked Manly (okay lets be honest, nearly begged) not to work out at his folks this weekend so that he can be POD while I clean and organize.  I am hoping to start shopping only once a month for groceries and I NEED to have someplace to put all the "stuff".  It is odd, I am a bit excited to have the time to myself to clean.  I am rather looking forward to it. 

While cleaning I need to brainstorm.  Our 14th anniversary is coming up next week and I want to do something special for Manly.  He is a very spontaious guy and always surprises me.  I want to plan something fun yet inexpensive.  If you ladies have any ideas they would be welcomed.  (One year I filled his car with balloons that each had a Hershey's "Hug" or "Kiss" candy in them.  Manly had to pop the balloons just to get into his car to go to work.  He was finding candy all the way up to Memeorial Day.  He would bring the candy in and ask:  "How about a Kiss / Hug?"  It was fun.)

Well, lunch break / recess is over.  May your day be richly blessed!

In Him;

Carrie

Have fun decluttering this weekend. We will be catching up on some cleaning and hopefully painting!

I love the baloons in the car idea. I may have to use it! LOL This year my beloved Matthew turns 30 and I want to do something special for him. What a wonderful idea.

Now how are you going to beat that one this year for your anniversary??? LOL Let us know what you decide on!!!! LOL I might have to steal that idea as well.

God's Blessings,
