Blog #2 and Clutter

So I started another blog today. Yikes, I'm not sure what I'll do trying to keep up two. The new one, A Branch on the Tree, is strictly for family updates.


My random thoughts will stay here.

My random thought for today: Clutter.
I really dislike clutter. It plagues me. My forgetfulness, combined with My Man's apparent inability to return things to their appropriate homes, makes clutter follow me wherever I go. Actually, it doesn't really follow me. It usually just congregates here:


This poor little piece of counter is off by itself next to the fridge. Since it gets so little kitchen action, it sold it's soul to the clutter devil not long after we moved in 11 years ago. I've tried all kinds of little containers and such to collect things to be sent to their rightful homes, but the containers just fill up, overflow and I'm left with this mess. Ugh. I think it's time to break up the party and send this clutter home!
Does your clutter congregate or is it antisocial and like to scatter itself about your home? What do you do to keep clutter in check?
