This past weekend was awesome. Paul and I had a fun date night on Friday going to see Ironman (which was great, but with a bit of violence and things crashing -- needless to say, I was hiding for a good part of the movie) and then we buckled down for the weekend.
On Saturday, we went through the collection of things amassed -- in total, we are donating 4 huge bags of items to the Salvation Army. All my shoes are going with that collection.
It felt very refreshing to clean out the forgotten attic. I have a fantasy of just filling up my Civic coupe with all the items we own. At this point, we would need a couple (dozen?) Civics. This was a great first step, and I am looking forward to paring down further.
I also went through my book collection (gulp) and about 20 books are on their way to the Salvation Army. The paperwork pile was attacked, along with my filing "box". Everything is neatly organized and makes sense. So when I got mail on Saturday, the first thing I did was go through it, filed what needed to be filed, and shred the rest.
There is a lot of paper recycling this week!
We also played Cashflow on Sunday. This is the first time, in a long time, that we broke it out. We had a good time playing, and it made me want to put aside the time to play more often. I always feel like I learn quite a bit.
So...it was a great weekend, and now for this week, I will be focusing on the house hunt. I will write tomorrow about the results of my quest.
