The car.

I'm SO mad that I forgot to take a before picture! Anyway, my car is (was) a freaking mess and I new I had to get it under control so that was my big project for today. And while I don't have a picture of the mess here's a picture of the huge bag of trash that came STRICTLY from the passenger seat and floor.


Pretty gross. I cleaned out the trash and took a rag and cleaned up all the spots. I still need to vacuum out
the floor.  But it looks tons better. (A before picture would really make my point.)

 On the passenger seat, I stored a basket that had important things in it: wipes, a cd case, car phone charger, sunglasses and a cup of pens and pencils. I still need to configure a trash can. My original idea didn't pan out, but I knew some parts of my plan would have to change.
It was interesting to see some stuff that was stashed under the pile of mess, including a pair of shoes and 2 shirts. I figured if I hadn't missed them, then I shouldn't keep it.
Which brings me to something else I'm proud of. I've always donated what I didn't need to the Deseret Industries, instead of just trashing it. But, I wasn't about to run down to the DI every time I had something to donate, and I did not want to keep them with the rest of my things, and just add more clutter to my life. So I found this basket- they really are handy.

I put this on the top shelf of my laundry room. It's completely out of the way. I didn't even have to clear a space, because nothing was up there to begin with. I can just toss everything I plan to give away into the basket, and when it gets full, then I make a trip. Simple.
