...and it keeps emerging!

The clutter keeps coming out from hiding!  I just found more boxes and bags of things I must do something with.

It started with the mini fridge I took out of my bedroom (more on that in a bit) and wanted to put it back where I found it in the basement.  Well, while things were pulled out of the way so I could access the spot where the fridge needed to go, I found more of my stuff.  Sigh.  Boxes of books, pans, gadgets, we'll see what else!

It will take me time to go through them, but I will eventually.  Currently, they are sitting on the steps between the basement and main level of the house.  My mom was helping me as I pulled my boxes out and I didn't notice until afterwards that she had been putting them there.  She thought I was taking them upstairs.

The reason I had a mini fridge in my room was because when the fridge in the kitchen broke down, I didn't want to have to replace my cold items and needed a place to keep them.  Although there were other items in the fridge, I don't see this as selfish because I was the one who purchased the fridge a few years ago...the first time the kitchen fridge broke down.  At the time this was a favor to my mom, but it was hardly used, then put to the side.  Therefore, it is mine so I can do as I please. :)

By the way...the old fridge is STILL IN THE KITCHEN and freezer being used!

Old Fridge and New Fridge?

Yes, both refrigerators still remain in the kitchen.  Is there room?  No.  Apparently it seems the new freezer is not as large as the old, or something, because the old still has items in it, thus the reason it hasn't been unplugged and removed.  Ugh.

Fridge pic and purging

After work yesterday when I arrived home, I noticed the front door area had been cleared.  That surely sent my brain through a loop!  Anyhow, I soon learned that it was cleared because a new refrigerator was delivered and there was no way it would have made it through that clutter.

Below is a picture of what the old fridge looked like inside.  I'll add that the only reason it looks a bit bare and somewhat "clean"(at least compared to what it was before), is because a lot was cleared out when it quit refrigerating and things had to be tossed.  Ice blocks were put in the fridge daily to keep things cool.  There is absolutely NO organization going on here.

The two bags of strawberries in the freezer are mine.  They both were put in a separate freezer that unbeknownst to me it didn't work.  This resulted in a lump of strawberries which I've been chipping away at.  Not to mention I had to replace berries I purchased for my BF when I went to Costco since he paid me for good, frozen berries.

On a sidenote, I almost bought a container to keep my berries, but couldn't find the dimensions I wanted at the time.  I probably wouldn't find room to put them anyway!

So, here is the old fridge:

After work yesterday I dedicated my time to putting things away that had been sitting around since Sunday.  Clutter.  Once that was taken care of I sort of stood there looking around thinking to myself, "What can I get rid of now?"

I ended up tossing approximately 15 magazines, ironically, two of them had articles on clutter!  Ha!

I also decluttered this adorable Betty Boop doll.  She's adorable, but what will I ever do with her?  Out the door, Betty!

There were other things, a pair of UGG shoes, three scarves and other small random things.

I  would love to hear if any of you have thoughts on what you read/see here.
