Clearinghouse - Junk in my trunk.

Purge list:
  • t-shirt drawer
  • cami drawer
  • work out drawer
  • pajama drawer
  • underwear drawer & bra/swim drawer
  • sock drawer
  • junk drawer
Junk drawer.

Last on the list to purge my dresser is the junk drawer. Most people have one of these in their kitchen. Mine just happens to be in my bedroom. Kitchen organized, bedroom not so.

Taking stock:
Contents =
3 small purses
2 wallets
1 travel cosmetic case
1 sunglass case
1 pilates dvd
8 orphan socks
2 pair matching socks
2 pair new in package socks
7 receipts
1 $5.00 silver certificate
1 matchbook from the Sands casino
2 key chains with 2 old keys
1 leather journal
1 corkscrew and cork
1 paper drink umbrella
1 rubber bat
4 fest buttons
1 travel manicure kit
4 bottle lens cleanser for my glasses
5 screws
1 set bra straps
2 lavender sleep masks
1 skeleton key
a pile of love letters and cards
7 rings with boxes1 necklace with box
1 antique brooch
2 baby pictures of yours truly

Some of the items you may recognize from my underwear/bra drawer. The junk drawer seemed like a more logical location for these. There is not much in here I wish to part with. Okay, I no longer need the bra straps since I previously purged all my bras and disposed of them via the free table last week. The two key chains will probably make their way to the next free table as well. Although I have sleep issues, I have never used the sleep masks. They are outta here. Socks. sigh Yes, more socks. A comment was made during the purge of my sock drawer on how amazing it was to have 69 pairs of socks and not one was missing it's matching half. See Jennifer, I lose them, too! I have a whole bag of lost souls that these eight will be joining. The matching four will find a happy home with the remaining 43 pair I own. The receipts from purchases I was evidently hiding from Hubby will be accounted for and filed with the rest of the year's purchases. The purses, wallets and cosmetic case will relocate to my shoe closet which has yet to be purged. Sunglass case and lens cleanser will relocate, too. Maybe I will add the cleanser to the free pile? I use vinegar for that now anyway. I always knew I had a screw loose, but five? Those should be in the basement. The miscellaneous keepsake paraphernalia and letters will stay, I'm sentimental like that. The jewelry will stay put, too. If you ever want to rob me, I guess you know where the goods are. Oh, and the pilates dvd; one of these days I will stop spending so much time on my arse blogging and will use it. I have some extra junk in my trunk that could use a little purging if you know what I mean. Better put it somewhere less hidden, like the basement... where I never go.

Purge list:
  • t-shirt drawer
  • cami drawer
  • work out drawer
  • pajama drawer
  • underwear drawer & bra/swim drawer
  • sock drawer
  • junk drawer
Perhaps this post would be more appropriately named Warehouse. As in, where in the house should I relocate this stuff to?
