I'm going in!
Okay, when I was doing laundry yesterday and couldn't help but notice three bags of stuff that we brought with us when we moved (1.5 years ago) that haven't been touched. I don't know what's in them, except that it's basement type stuff, but I know if I asked dh, he'd say "Keep them!" Well, I don't think so.
So, while the boys sleep, I'm not even looking in them, I'm just tossing those bags. Wish me luck!My Blog: http://amysreallife.wordpress.com

Okay, so here's what happened.
I never made it to the basement because dh pit a mousetrap down there and I didn't want to be the one to discover whether it worked! I'm a big chicken.
So, tomorrow I go in and I'M NOT PEEKING!!!My Blog: http://amysreallife.wordpress.com

Okay, I went in. I peeked in one bag, because I saw the word "Mortgage" and sure enough, found some old mortgage stuff. The other bags? NO PEEKING! Out they went! I also found some extra stuff in the basement and filled up one HUGE lawn waste trash bag. It's in the can outside now and I'm feeling pretty good!

Oh, oh! I sure hope hubby wasn't saving that stuff!
Amy! I just can't beleive you were brave enough to do that. But then... if I hadn't looked into or unpacked it in 18 months... I'd want to get rid of it too. (but I'd peek)
Good for you!!
