Update on Kristen’s Spring Cleaning Challenge: Good News and Bad News (or, Confessions of a Chronic Clutterer)

Okay, so about a week and a half ago, I agreed to participate in Jen’s Spring Cleaning Challenge, promising to tackle the File Box of Doom. And here it is:

The good news is that, thanks to some nerve-steeling, I no longer have a File Box of Doom. I even threw out the box! The bad […]
