Technically, the calendar says that it's the beginning of October, but this past weekend has me seriously doubting that. It was sunny, yes. But hot and muggy. And hot. And...and...muggy. And...
Well, you get the picture.
On the plus side, I didn't hear about anyone dying or nearly dying in the heat down here, unlike those poor people at the marathon up in Chicago. Yikes!
I've actually made a bit of a start on clearing out one of our spare bedrooms. When we moved into this house in July, we just kind of treated the two spare rooms like gigantic walk-in closets. Everything that we didn't have an immediate place for was unceremoniously dumped there. The upside is that we can just shut those doors and forget about the disaster. The downside is that we occasionally DO have to find something in one of those rooms, and what should be a simple enough procedure turns into a 20 minute ordeal.
So I finally felt inspired enough (or fed up enough) about it this past weekend to at least start trying to organize some of the stuff. Lots of the boxes are full of clothes that we obviously don't miss much because we haven't even thought of wearing them for almost 3 months now. With a Goodwill conveniently about 3 minutes away, I think a big donation is coming their way in the very near future. I'm just going to work on one room at a time and maybe....by the time all is said and done...I'll really feel as thought I accomplished something. Who knows?
Other than that, the weekend was fairly uneventful and my work day today was pretty damned boring.
Hmmm...Methinks I should have quit this post while I was ahead. :-)

Sounds like you made a very sizeable dent into the walk in closets. :)
