Clutter Monster

Well, the wedding went fine- I think I was allergic to the carnation corsage they put on me about 1 hour before I had to sing, because about 15 mins after it was placed on my shirt, my throat got cloggy and my voice was almost hoarse. But, I got the song out and the wedding was sweet. The couple is a really adorable pair and the husband is going into ministry. I couldn't help but think ,as I watched them stare into each other's eyes adoringly, that some day he is going to be passing gas on her and they will be trying to find "alone time"... ahh when the magic is gone. But- the good part of marriage comes when you can be yourself, and they love you anyway. On another topic- people who know me know that I have a tendency to be a packrat. I admit it. One would think that I grew up in the depression because I hang on to everything "just in case" I might need it in 10 or 15 years. (You know, legwarmers may come back!) Unfortunately my husband is the same way. And- when we moved, we lost 2000 square feet of house. We have a lot in the garage.... (None of which is a car.) Well- husband got a new motorized "toy" that has a soft-top convertible and needs to be in the garage. I stacked some stuff to where he could get the car in, but really you couldn't get out of the car. So- he has taken it upon himself to actually clean it out. Well- so far, it looks worse than it did. It looks like all of our junk had babies while we slept. He is throwing away stuff and I am taking it out of the trash when he isn't looking. (Of course, he only throws away my stuff.) At least we know we will be moving- but we still need to get rid of a lot of this stuff. I need to find a support group. The worst thing is, he is just putting stuff inside the door for me to put up in the house- well why does he think it was in the garage in the first place? If there was room in the house, I would have put it in there to begin with! It is a never-ending battle... I need someone to just come clean it out while I am not here and I would not even know what was thrown out. Any volunteers?
