(postponed) spring cleaning: part deux

Here we are with the second installment of my Spring Cleaning. After much ado, I now have the time and energy to dedicate myself to minimizing my belongings, so it won't be much of a burden when I move next spring. My strategy is to be minimal, yet make sure to keep all the objects I'm going to need when I'm in a tight spot in the future. At first, this sounded like a very difficult task, but as I got a better look around on all the things I've amassed in the last couple of years, I know I'd have an easy time picking over what I can recycle for my future projects (I'll be using this word a load from now on, in honor of my re-found love of crafts, it's more that I now have time, rather than lost appeal), and what I need to chuck in the bin.

Of course, I have music setting my background while I bust out my mad-cleaning-skills; bringing out my inner Snow White. Though I will not exploit woodland creatures to lend me a paw. If I don't eat them, I certainly do not have them clean. Anyroad...a sample of my mix-tape includes: "Coffee Shop Soundtrack" - All Time Low, "Dance Inside" - All-American Rejects, "Dressed Up To Undress" - Breathe Carolina, "Five Minutes To Midnight" - Boys Like Girls, "Get Over It" - OK Go, "Secrets" - OneRepublic, "Summerboy" - Lady Gaga, "Thunderstruck" - AC/DC, and "Weightless" - All Time Low.

I dusted, laundered, and sorted a section of my closet. I now have dust-free shelves, a clean stack of clothes, and organized shoe racks. On my next cleaning, I'll be going over my shelves again for books and sorting out clothes to donate, and clothes to put in the "recycle/project bag", which is expanding. I'll need to run out to Joann's and grab a new measuring tape, seam ripper, pins, and floral print fabric. Why in Merlin's saggy left, did those items (except for the fabric) disappear? I'm just going with the previous reason: my friends filched from my supplies thinking I meant "take" instead of "borrow".

It's time for another Yoga class! As always, I came over an hour early just have some reading time in the library on campus. I just started on Mary Carter's 'Accidentally Engaged'. It's a story bout Clare Ivers, a psychic who gets tangled up with an engaged man after trying to return the bride-to-be's rock of an engagement ring. Did I mention that Clare accidentally talked the bride out of the engagement? Well, I hope my prediction of how the story ends up playing doesn't happen in the way I'm thinking it would. It'd be more exciting if there was a plot twist, but I guess I'll have to wait for that seeing as I'm only on page 9.

Continuing on to Yoga; for class, we only had to do sun salutations and a small bit of a fitness test. So we would be getting out half an hour early today. Depending on how quick you are. The sun salutations took bout 20 minutes because we repeated the whole sequence 5 times. As for the fitness test, it's just flexibility and step ups. It was great fun to watch both classes do all that at once. I wish the class was Monday to Thursday, but then again, that's summer school hours. I'm really looking forward to taking it in the summer again! Along with Pilates. It'll be a productive and healthy way to keep out of trouble this summer.

In the case with my post from yesterday, I will now include an update of my "Sailor Moon relapse". I watched some more episodes of Sailor Moon right when I got home. I reached up to episode 19 and stopped for the night. Considering I left off with 14, I feel accomplished. Probably because I can't wait for the revelation of the characters' identities, that I can't keep myself from slowing down from watching.

Now I think it's time to get some more reading done, so that I can return the book to the library soon and check out another novel that caught my interest the other day.

PS: I'm really getting hooked on the SM beginning theme song! Even though it's Japanese. I'll be seeing that on my playlist as soon as I get a new USB cord for my iPhone.
