I'm house sitting this weekend, so I'm hoping to be successful on Friday and Saturday. It's actually Thursday night when I'm starting this, so hopefully it won't be too difficult. (I might need to catch up on Sunday, but I'm feeling optimistic!)
1. James Taylor t-shirt (too big)
2. assorted magazines and newspapers to recycle! (prompting the creation of a "recyclables" box for this project - does the box count as one object? or can I count all recyclable items from one day as a single object for that day??? I might give myself some leeway here)
3. discman (why do I still have this?)
4. TWO old cell phones! (and the requisite chargers, etc.) I guess I put these in one of those bags to mail off and be recycled?
5. old laptop - again, the questions about proper disposal have kept this around for WAY too long
6. Box of books to take to school (for classroom library) - I consider this purging because they're all books which could "walk off" and I'd survive.
7. A second box of books for school - definitely counts as a second item!
8. "Teacher Planning" type books to take to school - WILL NOT return to my "home" until I am in possession of my own office type space - definitely not anytime soon.
9. the box my digital camera came in... yes, this counts. yes I am this bad. (and yes the box did go into the previously created "recyclables" box)
10. two packages of "Christmas" peeps - I was letting them "age" (and I had one yesterday - they are definitely aged to perfection) but I A) don't need to eat them and B) am tired of looking at them - GONE!
WOW - two sets of purging in 24ish hours! well done, emily!
I was also thinking that perhaps it was fitting that today Oprah's show featured hoarders... I'm certainly not one, (and I don't watch the show regularly) but it definitely made me feel a little less terrible about the crap I keep - and realize that if I don't get rid of stuff like the aforementioned camera box it could get really ugly!
