I didn’t know who Don Aslett was til I somehow wound up with one of his books last month. Clutter’s Last Stand somehow ended up on my library reserve list – I probably saw it mentioned on a blog or in a magazine article or something. Whatever the reason, it came home with me and TW talked about this guy like he was famous or something. Apparently he is if you’re into cleaning tips and stuff. I am not that kind of person sooooo I obviously have never heard of him.
I skimmed that first book and returned it pretty quickly. It was booorrinnngggg. But, I reserved another. Weekend Makeover – ack, that one was a wee bit boring but it is also dangerous. It makes me want to get up and throw things away. A lot of things. In fact if anyone who lives in my house notices something that belongs to them is missing – it might be because I got throw it away fever because of this book and ummm. threw. it. away.
I would really, really, REALLY like to stay home one weekend soon and get rid of about half of the stuff in this house. Looking at the calendar, we might have a stay home weekend sometime around the end of September. Maybe.

Ohhhhhh are you gonna bring out your Clean Sweep birthday stuff???
Wanna come get rid of the stuff in my closet? I have some sewing stuff in there that I don’t know really know what to do with (maybe I need Michelle to teach me how to sew?). And um just junk. I swear my place would take way longer to clean out than yours…
Ummm way shorter not longer.
It’s Friday. My brain has stopped functioning.
I have got the new one. ‘For Packrat’s only- how to dejunk and de-clutter your life forever’ or something like that. I read the first two chapters and I’ve already cleaned out my whole bedroom (i still live with my parents, so that’s all I could do). I threw out alot of stuff I was hoarding. Hopefully my room stays clean.lol! I guess i don’t need to read the rest of the book.
Ha Karen, the clean sweep stuff is buried under the pile that needs to be clean swept!
Wow Tey, did your parents appreciate the clean up that you did? I wonder how I can convince my kids to clean their rooms that way. I don’t think the book will do it.
