I purchased some camo pants for my husband yesterday.  I have three pair in my own size which is one size larger. He told me he cannot use them so I thought I would sell them. THEN I THOUGHT let me try these on. After losing 30 pounds  Ican   YES  I can get into them and button them.  I cannot breathe, and they are tight, but I can do it! So into the hope pile these will go and any others he cannot use.
This is one of my weaknesses.  Declutter?  Of course not. This is stuff I cannot live without. Oh okay. I can live without it. Why should I try when they are so awesomely cuteness. And when I want to shoot some families and kids with some country style portraits, they would be perfect!!! The one on the left is one that a client purchased for my photography. The one in the middle came from a basement estate sale. It was covered in spiderwebs, but has since been cleaned and made for safe use. The largest one was given to me in two pieces, and has been in several photo shoots.  YES, they are all part of the family and will NOT be sent to the thrift store.

Declutter Budget-The budget has become more cluttered with over $50,000 in medical bills($8,000 is our portion).

Declutter House-The house has been more of a blessing. I try to keep up on three rooms and gain some progress in others. I had a small lunch party with some girlfriends last week. WE have been working on our yard, and it is looking great.

Declutter Body-I lost 3 more pounds to 196 making that a 30 pound acheivement. YAY! With the onset of summer, working in the yard, riding my bike, and doing more exercise, the calories have increased. I have bumped a little, because I was not paying attention.  My diet consultants have called me daily to let me know they will not settle for a half heart, no loss existance. So yesterday, I took control again and should have to resize my clothes in the closet again next Monday! At 197.5 this morning, I am expecting to start moving down again.
I am adding a catagory to the OPERATION DECLUTTER! Declutter Photography. This will consist of finishing projects and letting some props go.

This week is busy. I have two presentations that I am doing at Libraries for their summer reading programs about Caving. With my yard, I am trying to clean a small portion each day. The pool is coming right along.
