I have a clean attic!!! I can actually see the floor--dirty as it is--I can actually see the floor! This is probably the first time in more years than I care to count that the shelves are bare and the floor is practically bare except where things are supposed to be. Amazing. Ok, ok, so there are still a bunch of boxes sitting around. I went through every stinkin' box and threw stuff away. But there were things I just couldn't part with. Whatnots that belonged to my grandmother, hankies that belonged to my mother, baby clothes that I wore and my kids wore, playbills from broadway shows, scripts from some of my favorite shows that I have directed etc etc etc. I also inherited a lot of antique glassware from my aunt and I am going to wait to get it appraised before I plop it on a table at a garage sale. I also have TONS of hockey cards from the early 90's. Any takers? Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit surprising but I collected hockey cards for awhile. I am a Bowling Green State University hockey nut and used to know many of the players personally including some who played in the NHL. Sooo, I collected cards. (See you learn something new about me everyday!) Now, I want to get rid of the cards. As I said, any takers??
So, my attic is clean. My garage is full. My back is killing me. And I now have to find the time to have a massive garage sale. Ugh!!







Ok, I admit it, this doesn't look a whole lot better but this is all stuff going to someone else so it will be gone, I promise!!

I'm done and if I go up in that attic anytime soon, it will be tooooo soon!

Congratulations! It can be a symbolic experience, unloading stuff. You're making room for new, splendid things to enter your life!

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
The hoarder in me, the one who loves family heirlooms, is falling into a panic wondering what you got rid of???
I keep thinking about all the slide carousels (I assume those are still there?) and even those diaries of all my childhood station-wagon-vacations you so painstakingly wrote. Are they gone??
Must. go. sit. and.... breathe!!!!

Wow, wow, and WOW. I am very impressed - are you interested in a temporary job cleaning MY clutter?! As for the hockey cards, they sound like an ebay item to me!
Never fear, Karen, the hoarder in me saved a lot of things. And no, I didn't throw away the diaries or the slides or grandma's dishes or the old pictures or old magazines and newspapers etc.
Wow - that's an awesome job well done!! :)
