Do you need the random crap?
My old dresser at my parents' is mostly filled with files, sewing stuff and other random stuff that needed to be kept.
I really need to get a place. So far I've claimed grandma's old chairs when my parents decide to get rid of them (I told them I'd put them in storage if I didn't have room when they decide but that makes mom plan on keeping them longer! She makes no sense,) the oak table in the kitchen nook, a couple side tables that were my other grandmother's, the dresser/washtable mentioned above..... you get the idea. This isn't "when the parents die" stuff, this is stuff they want me to have, and I want.
But, no room.
Speaking of which, I really need to replace the floor covering in the dining room. It's ricemat and has deteriorated badly (10 years!) and I'm tired of it. I only need something 8'x8' or smaller, so not that big a deal. Maybe I'll get around to that tomorrow. Trashing it is going to be a pain.
Do you need the random crap?
Um. Yes?
I think I'll give it a shot, and maybe get rid of a little bookshelf I had for my school stuff -- I can integrate the books on my other shelves and put the papers I want to keep in a drawer.
How do you get tricked into running?

You spend the weekend with juliana who casually invites youto do a 5k for breast cancer.
Um. Yes?
I was playing the role of msbelle! I'm a packrat.
The problem is, I have literally no closed storage in my living room -- it's all open shelves. So I do have some baskets and stuff, but I could really benefit from something with doors, which is why I think drawers will do for the moment.
Jesse - we went to that as is section of Ikea and bought some doors and attached them a bookcase. That could work.
I'm not going back to Ikea any time soon!
How do you get tricked into running?
First, they say come with us. Starbucks, right? So I get my purse. No, you won't need that. We're walking. Walking where? Walking. Okay. And so you're walking for five minutes. Now let's run for one minute. Why? And then we'll walk for two minutes. That sounds good.
But then you're already doing the running thing, and then you're so far away from where you started, and it's all very cruel and confusing.
That kind of trickery is just wrong. I'm taking a stand here.
