Sunday afternoon I decided that Alex’s closet was cluttered enough to be deemed Officially Hazardous, so yesterday I spent most of the morning sorting through old books, old clothes, old toys and old shoes.
And in case you’re wondering if I took a picture of the final product, well, OF COURSE I DID.

Now granted, you can only see one side of closet in the picture, but the other side of the closet is cleaned out, too. And besides, do you notice THAT WHOLE BIG SPACE WITH NOTHING ON IT?
I’m telling you: that whole big space with nothing on it is one of the crowning achievements of my life.
Or at least of my life in, you know, May.
And ever since I finished working in that closet, I have been on what my mama would call a RIP IT. I’ve stripped beds, mopped floors, cleaned bathrooms, washed and put away about eight loads of laundry, and I’m about to tackle my baseboards as soon as I post this because I believe it’s been well-established that I am an all-or-nothing girl, so as far as I’m concerned I can either clean my house until it shines or sit on the couch, eat Cheetos and watch HGTV.
And today I choose to clean.
But tomorrow there’s an excellent chance that the Cheetos will win.
(Now please hold for one second while I mop.)
(I’m not even kidding.)
(I’m making you sort of tired, aren’t I?)
(IMAGINE WHAT A DELIGHT IT IS TO LIVE WITH ME!)
(Okay. I’m back now.)
Anyway!
At some point in my massive housecleaning extravaganza, I decided to tackle the bar in our living room, and I kept finding CDs tucked away in drawers. And after I happened upon about the ninth CD, I was all, Why do I have all these CDs taking up valuable storage space? Couldn’t I be using this space much more effectively? Like to store Windex? Or Pledge? Or Clorox? Or some other cleaning product that would help me to maintain the completely unattainable level of clean that I am striving for over the next two days before I get back on the couch and eat Cheetos again?
Oh, make no mistake, people: I am a CARNIVAL of insanity.
So!
I now have this stack-o-CDs that I don’t really need anymore because they’re either a preview copies someone sent me or they’re left over from a giveaway or they’re already on my iTunes or someone is sneaking into my house at night and leaving stray copies of contemporary Christian music in random drawers behind the bar in my living room.
Regardless!
I’d love to send one of you the whole stack-o-CDs. There are probably eleven or twelve CDs in the stack right now (Third Day, Leeland, Casting Crowns, Matt Redman, etc. and so on and so forth), but that number could increase as I clean out additional drawers in additional areas of the house where I’m doing some additional cleaning.
CAN ANYONE TELL THAT I’M HOME ALONE TODAY?
So if you’d like to win, just leave me a comment and tell me so. I’ll close the comments sometime tomorrow morning and then select a winner using random.org.
Please know that my crazy and I thank you in advance for your participation.
And have a great day, y’all.
This giveaway is now closed.

By the way, I am suppose to be cleaning and yet I procrastinate because I just don’t feel like it and cheetos and HGTV, namely House Hunters sounds good to me.
Have a great day,
Patty
Sounds like some great CDs!
I’m only doing this to help you downsize ;) (Kidding…please enter me in the contest)
Whoohoo, sounds like Girls Gone Cleaning…thanks for making me feel guilty that I am SO not a cleaner!! :D Yay, CDs…count me in!! :) Enjoy that brand spankin clean house o’yours!
Sounds good!!! THanks for sharing the fruits of you labor!!! :)
I would love to win. Sorry about the last comment or rather lack of comment. Me and the enter button don’t get along to well.
Ok That was some kind of crazy, but I loved it….seeing as how that’s just exactly how I roll…..anyway, I would love to win the stash-o-cds.
We must be on the same page because I can’t seem to be able to control my cleaning urges today either! I totally could use some new tunes.
I would be proud to take those CDs off your hands!
pretty please?
thanks!
I have been cleaning all day. Laundry … kitchen pantry and cabinet reorganization… going through children’s clothing and trying to clean our bedroom. I finally sit down for some time on the web and find another cleaning frenzy.
I would love to have new CD’s to listen to and to clean by!
Sign me up for some crazy.
thanks!
LOVE listening to music & would truly appreciate some new CD’s…
Sounds like fun… count me in!
Do you mean that there is music beyond the ‘SHREK’ soundtrack . . . (have 2yr old in car) . . . ?? I would LOVE to hear it!!
I’ll take your stack-o-cds
And can you come clean my house when you’re done?
Count me in!
oo! oo! enter me in the random-cd-stack-drawing.
my baseboards are calling your name. hear ‘em?!
Since you are not giving away “maid service” I’ll settle for the Cds.
I was thinking you are either home alone getting all this cleaning done, or you are JUST THAT GOOD! I can’t get anything done when all the kiddos are in the house.
The music selection is great!
Yeah for a cleaning spree!
And yeah for new music! I love music – but I’m also kind of stingy – so it’s not often that I check out a new artist.
I would love a CD of some good music.
I was on a cleaning binge yesterday too. It was nice to have a day to clean.
I’d love to win some new music! This sounds great!
Clara
Yay for cleaning! I too will get busy cleaning. My husband knows when I have one of my cleaning “spells”. He knows to get out of the way and let me be!
Pick me, random number generator!
And yes, I’m cleaning, too!
Would love to be in on this opportunity. Thanks, Boo!
I would personally love to be the recipient of your left over crazy..:)
I’d LOVE to win some new music. I don’t think I’ve bought a new CD since 2000…I’m so not cool.
“Carnival of Insanity” – I do believe you’ve captured my entire life in a single phrase.
Love your blog.
Cara
I’d love some free music! (And I was drooling over that ultra clean closet of Alex’s….can you send some of that “cleaning crazy” my way?!)
Pick me! I need some good music in my life right about now!
Hey, I’d love to win some CD’s. You can choose to dust them off or not before mailing. I will accept them just as they are.
You are truly an inspiration! I need me some crazy! And some new music to clean by wouldn’t hurt either:)
Sign me up, too, please. You named some of my favorites. Thank you.
I would love to have them.
yes, please.
I would love to be in on this very cool giveaway! Thanks so much!
My kids would love me forever if I won your stack of CD’s. According to them you are a very cool mom, all because of your taste in music.
I’d love to win some music! I’m always behind on buying cd’s and we end up just listening to the radio…so this would be great!

What I would actually like to win is you coming to my house and putting those cleaning powers to use here. Because, it seems that I did not receive those same powers.
Count me in! My ipod needs some new tunes that I’m too cheap to buy.
Count me in! I’d love to win some free CDs!
New music sounds fun! Can you come deep clean my house while you’re at it?
Cleaning closets is therapeutic! I’m motivated to tackle at least one today. Thanks for sharing, and please add me to your drawing for the cd’s.
