Hangers are like rabbits!

I'm convinced.....somehow these little wire contraptions that we use in everyday life are like rabbits. They breed and multiply and need a place of their own. At least in our household. Yesterday I was feeling a sort of organizational moving and I set forth to clean and organize my husband's and my walk-in closet. Stupid...that's all I can say. I had some sort of assanine idea that I could get the job done in just an hour or two. Well....5 hours later I still had a mess in my bedroom, hallway and anywhere else you can thinkof. And it's all because of those stupid hangers. No, not really but they are a nuisance.

It's probably because my husband gets his shirts laundered (he has an anal retentive part of his nature that demands crisply heavy starched collars and cuffs...which I can't possibly create with an iron and bottle of spray starch...so I don't even attempt it). Each week five of those little blue wire hangers make their way into our closet...that's 20 per month and 240 per year...But, I swear, I must have found about 500 of them, or so it seemed.....Envision being in an empty room with 2 rabbits and within a very short time you're surrounded by a gazillion of the white furry creatures and you're going insane!! Well that's kind of how I felt yesterday.

Then, fortunately, my sister Peggy came over and I was able to give her a bunch of hangers (she said she actually to go to the store to BUY some of them---she must have neutered or spayed hangers at her house) and a box of clothes that I just simply don't wear anymore and she was excited to receive them......what a joy for me....

I realized a few things after my day with the hangers:

1) We have way too much STUFF!

2) It feels really good to de-clutter and give STUFF away to people who will have use for it.

3) I detest too many hangers!!

Have a GREAT day and weekend!
