It's Diet time again! No not that kind of diet! My house needs to go on a diet!

I came up with the idea of putting my house on a diet a while ago, and now I'm going to attempt to share my diet plans with you (all 3 of you who are reading this). The idea is to loose a 100 things in 10 days! It's a radical sort of diet-binge dieting if you will-but it works! Each day, for the next 10 days, you get rid of 10 things. It becomes contagious as you begin to purge your house of the unnecessary clutter. Just like the fat deposits on our bodies, things tend to gather in different areas around the house. You must decide what to tackle each day. Here's what you'll need...nothing, you don't need anything. Just grab 10 things and give yourself permission to let them go. Confront your inner hoarder and allow yourself to let go. It's an amazing feeling! Just the other day I was cleaning out a container that was left outside in the rain. It was disgusting! The tote was full of water and items that I meant to take care of months ago (actually left over from a camping trip last August). There were some good items in that muck and for an instant I was considering salvaging some of it. BUT I DIDN'T! I grabbed up that hunk of blue plastic and dumped it into the conveniently located trash can and sighed with satisfaction at having done so. To tell you the truth I almost pulled a couple items back out of the can, but I resisted. Try it! You can do it!
