Forget Spring Cleaning, Fall Cleaning is Where its AT.

Fall...always seems to be the season for renewal. Brent starts a new school year, and this year Alice too. People are settling in, wearing more clothes, eating warmer foods, the sunny highlights fading from their hair. Its the perfect time to do some Spring cleaning.
There is just one question that crosses one's mind...how did all this STUFF get in this house? Honestly, I don't know. I'm envisioning a large bonfire in the front yard, and us on the second floor throwing random STUFF out the windows just to watch the flames swallow up all the useless items. Certainly not an environmentally-conscious answer, but one solution to the madness. Now really, is the STUFF a result of too many trips to Target on a less-than-exciting Saturday afternoon? Maybe we really thought we needed it...seemed like a good idea at the time. Did we purchase this STUFF thinking, "Yes! This will make great clutter once we get it home!"?
Okay, maybe I'm not ready to go live in the bush with only the bare necessities...but god help us please try to eliminate all the *%&^!!#@#$% STUFF this year.
