{How's that for a feel good day-after-Valentine's Day title? Haha.}
If you couldn't guess by the headline of my post, I am shopping around for a dumpster. I am on mission organization...and a huge part of that organization is going to start with purging the stuff that we do not need. I am talking about clothing, paperwork, movies, furniture, boxes of stuff that I don't even know whats in it because we haven't opened it up since we moved, the first time. {Seriously...we still have boxes that we haven't opened since we moved from the townhouse to my in-laws, and then from my in-laws into our new house.} So my new motto...if we don't use it, we're gonna lose it!
I'm going to divide our stuff into keep, sell/donate and toss piles. And it'll make our lives that much easier if we have a dumpster to catch everything that goes into the toss pile.
This sudden need to purge is happening for a couple reasons. 1) My parents are coming up this weekend and we plan to paint our basement. That task will be SO much easier if we don't have mounds of boxes in the way. 2) I am a very neat and organized person. I like things to have a place and to be in their place. Right now, nothing has a place, and it's causing things to be so unorganized. When we moved in, we just shoved things into drawers and closets so we could start to live in our house. All of that mess has been causing me to slowly lose my mind haha. 3) If I do a spring cleaning of our house, maybeee I can will the Springtime to arrive that much sooner!!! Okay, clearly that's just wishful thinking...but a girl can dream, can't she?!?
So after some Internet browsing I managed to check out about 7 different dumpster rental services. I found the company with the lowest prices, and they shockingly had the best terms for our needs. They'll drop it off the size dumpster we want, leave it for up to two weeks and haul it away...all while letting me order online using PayPal {yay for not having to call and talk to strangers...I hate doing that, and get all awkward}. They can also deliver it same day you order in most situations. A couple stipulations...if we are over on the weight limit, we get charged an extra fee per ton that we go over, and if we keep the dumpster for longer than two weeks, we get charged extra per day that it stays in our driveway.
It all sounds pretty peachy to me! Now I just need to figure out what day I want our giant garbage can to arrive. Hmmmmmm.....
