Clean Sweep Part #1

According to my sister, my apartment needs a major overhaul. I apparently have too much crap. So, this morning after a yummy pancake breakfast courtesy of my father, my sister and I attacked my apartment. We only got two areas done today, the bedroom and the bathroom/linen closet. We plan, however, to continue with the living room, dining room and kitchen, on Wednesday. The cleaning today resulted in: 8 bags of trash, 11 bags of stuff for Goodwill, 1 bag of clothes to be consigned, and many empty "storage" containers (which I don't need anymore since I threw out so much stuff). Please see the pictures below to give you an idea of the enormity of this result. My dad also reminded me that I should get a receipt from Goodwill for tax purposes. At first I didn't see the point, but then if you think 11 bags of clothes at $1 per clothing item. That's a nice claim for donation to charity on my tax forms next year.
