Today's task is the hall closet. I have put it off for over a week now after putting it at the top of my daily list. Inevitably every morning I rise, take K-man to daycare, come back home, consult my list, and find something else to do other than face that catasphrophe at the end of the hall. Today's calling is to tackle this job and get it off my conscience.
Out of this spectacle of disorder, there are piles for the following:
- To Save
- For the Hubby to inspect and decide to keep or toss
- Trash
- Set out on the curb and let someone else take it because it's still perfectly usable (extra iron anyone?)
- The Urn
Yes, we have an urn. It was a wedding present. Someone bought it for us off of one of the wedding registries. We didn't register for it, I promise. How it got on there is one of those mysteries that will never be solved. Nevertheless, we have an urn. It was at our engagement party with flowers in it. Very pretty and kind of creepy. The urn has spent the last five years in the hall closet - hidden but not forgotten. So, my question is, what do you do with an urn that you have no intention of using for ashes? Should I set it out in the "Set out on the curb" pile? Do you donate an urn? You can't really re-gift it - that's creepier than getting it for a wedding present (I think). And really, I don't want it moving with us although it has developed a sort of celebrity status in our list of all things odd.
Candy dish, anyone?

Wow. I think my mom has that urn... seriously. Do you have a Freecycle site down there? Great way to get rid of unwanted, but usable items.
