July 06


This is a Bagster. It is an eight foot by four foot by 2.5 foot container designed for refuse. Basically, with a few exceptions, if you can fit it in there, the Bagster people will take it away.

Boyfriend and I spent the entire weekend cleaning and decluttering. While our goal wasn't explicitly to fill the Bagster, it was nice not having to worry about how much stuff we carried out. As you can see, we did fill the thing -- starting off with the 80s-styled dresser that was my first furniture purchase on my own. Beating it to bits with a hammer was spectacularly cathartic.

We made a dent in the household clutter and will hopefully make more progress now that we have some momentum. Meanwhile, I'm pretty proud that we've let go of so much crap.
