Green Clean Day at the Ross School of Business on Friday May 19, 2013 on a beautiful day in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan.
My goal was to get through my entire closet. I set the rule that everything had to be tried on unless it had been worn in the last six months. No more skipping over things or stuffing them in the back, saying "Oh, that probably fits. I'm sure I'll wear it again." That strategy meant that I had clothes dating back to my first marriage... a long, long time ago.
I got rid of my caregiver wardrobe (machine-washable jumpers with pockets, to hold prescriptions) and most of my consultant wardrobe. It was hard to part with the consultant clothes -- they were expensive and beautiful. But assuming I ever pick up my Coach briefcase again, I can't go into a meeting looking like this. I had one jacket that almost reached my knees. Why did we dress that way... why??
Now that I think of it, I got rid of almost everything on this list. It went to my favorite thrift store where some teenager will squeal with delight over the 80s treasures she'll find. Yes, I still had a few shoulder-pad classics.
I didn't make it through the whole closet. By the time I reached evening wear, I was exhausted. I'll save that for another day.
While on the topic of keeping oneself up to date, kudos to Pete for telling me about Young@Heart. He sent me a link to their covers of "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Staying Alive." (Don't miss the female solo -- awesome, funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking.)
I love their version of "Schizophrenia" too. Rock on!
The summertime heat in the Mojave Desert can make it difficult to give your windows a thorough cleaning, and the August monsoon season can make windows especially dirty with water spots, mineral deposits and outdoor dirt. Add to the natural elements the effects of spiders, insects, pets, dust,...

It's not glamorous, but I spent much of the afternoon Sunday filling up these giant bags with old clothes to donate. My dogs for scale.
The much overdue closet cleaning resulted in 7 bags of clothes that I will now take to Goodwill this weekend. May I never wait this long to clear out my closet again!

Every time when you run out of the cleaning agents in your home, it can be quite cumbersome for you to carry on with the cleaning task. You should not be entirely dependent on the artificial cleaners which you get in the market as their absence can put a hault to your work and make the house look dirty. Even the local cleaners in Melbourne suggest their customers to try the homemade cleaners for daily cleaning.
once everything had been cleared out and aired in the sunshine, the urge to put everything back was blunted by the fact i had sat down and had a cup of tea
This is a photo of my bookshelf and sink. My sink's really old, is made of cast iron, and is on table legs.

Engaging in a bit of a shortcut while spring cleaning. A very bad habit of mine. The shortcut, not the cleaning. I'm trying to make the cleaning into a bit more of a habit.

Spring Cleaning 2009 Series: Since I haven't been posting very much since I got my new computer and my photos got disorganized, I did a spring cleaning and organized stuff and found some half-decent shots that I had not posted.
I keep salt, pepper and sugar in these vintage canisters. The tops scrape a little when I unscrew them but at least they are big so I don't have to refill them too often. My grandma gave me the recipe box for Christmas. My ironing board is jammed in an awkward nook. It works for me.
we 4 girls were on our own spring cleaning team... it was lots of fun!
sorry i haven't uploaded in a while... our camera broke and we just moved... two pretty good reasons.
