Why Did I Keep This Stuff!?

I am trying to find the pink slip to Mike's truck. I am having no luck. Our bedroom is the last frontier for a lot of junk. And, I knew of a couple of boxes where I had been stashing junk. Junk that I really didn't need. So, I am going through them and have managed to toss away a grocery bag's worth of junk so far. And, as I am going through this box, I am wishing that I could go back in time and get into my head back when I tossed this stuff into the box in the first place. I found some receipts and calendars dated from 2001, so I've had it kicking around for 4 years. I found old receipts, papers from the girls schools. And, a bunch of expired coupons. Why did I keep all this in the first place? Why didn't I throw it away 4 years ago. I have no idea what I was thinking back then. I am trying to prevent an accumulation from now on, so I won't be wondering what was going through my mind as I'm going through boxes in 2009.

Well, I think Kelly found out that if the pink slip is lost you can always get a new one from the DMV, right?

Of course, you should probably wait until you've gotten rid of more junk before you do that. :-D

Don't worry. Even if I find the pink slip, I intend to continue cleaning out our bedroom. My goal is to get rid of about 80% of the stuff in there.
