Aright, here we are to finish the Declutterathon day .
When we last left Melinda, she was agonizing over the decision of trashing or recycling the baby bib. Let’s take a peek, and see what happened.
YAY!! She did it!!
We’re proud of you!
{mutters} Yeah, yeah. Where were we?
Sentimental clutter.
Must you keep rubbing it in??
Sorry. Next item.
Oh, well, why do I still have this?? I made it, so I need to give it to a daughter!
But you have 2! How are you gonna decide between the two?
Hmmm, good question! Could I give it to Mama? Since I’m her daughter??
[shrugs} I guess, that would eliminate any further agonizing.
Let’s do it!
Oh no!! My Aunt Jessie made that for me! It’s not going anywhere!!
But it’s not framed or anything!
I’ll frame it.
[quirks eyebrow} Will you really??
Yes! I’ll do it right now!
But that would interrupt the flow of your de-cluttering mojo!
Then will ya give me a break??
Okay, we’ll check back in on this later.
AFTER the 21 days of the Declutterathon!
Oh alright, after it is. Next!
What is that??
A hand loomed potholder, of course!
A what??
Aw, c’mon! You’re as old as me! You remember those little looms, where ya weave the loops. And about ALL they’re good for is play potholders!
Oh, yeah, yeah. Now I remember!
Ok, but who made it?
I dunno! If you can’t remember, do you need to keep it?
Well, sure!
Whaddya gonna DO with it?
Use it as a potholder, of course!
{hmmph} We’ll see!
Next! 
I don’t even know what it is!! I remember Mama brought it back from one of her missions trips. Maybe I can give it to PP, as a kind of maraca?
That’ll work.
Now this is interesting! I thought you didn’t want PP to have screen time at your house?
I don’t!
Then why do you have books for her that read themselves?? Isn’t that screen time?
Uh, um… Not really!
Come again?
It requires her active participation, to move the stylus across the page, so that it reads!
Uh, yeah, okay. Whatever you want to tell yourself!!
Now, THIS paper is totally STUPID!! Why would I have kept the requirements for my teaching certificate, AFTER I already HAVE my teaching certificate???
Because you’re a hoarding slob??
HEY!!
{shrugs} Just trying to help!
Easy decision- recycle. Next! 
Oh brother! Another stupid paper! Why would I keep the letter of eligibility for my teaching certificate, AFTER I have my teaching certificate??
{Draws in a breath to answer}
DON”T EVEN SAY IT!!
Fine! Ya don’t need to yell!
Recycle. Hey, this is getting easier! 
Uh oh, did I say easier??
{nods head}
Well, of course I get to keep it, just like all my old diaries! Whoever writes my biography will need all of them as research materials! 
{sarcastically} Why, of course! You’re an important personage!
Anyway….
Oops! These belong to Sandy. And she moved to Georgia, about 6 years ago. I see a visit to the post office in my future!
Whoa, we’re going great guns, but nowhere near finished yet! But, I’m tired of talking.
What?? I can’t believe that!!
Alrighty then! What I really meant to say was, I’m tired of typing!
Now THAT I believe!!
More Declutterathon Day Dos tomorrow! Hurry back!
Hey WAIT!!
What?
Wasn’t today supposed to be the “dramatic conclusion” of Declutterathon Day?
Oh, right. Well, we’re slow, and very verbose! What can we say??
