Purge Day 8 - Tuesday

I definitely thought Monday was only day 6. It's a bit of a relief to know that I'm well into the downhill stretch (only 30 items left...).

1. bra that I do not wear (I could do something awesome like take a picture of me wearing it, but I'd probably get fired and feel like a major slore for doing that - so I'll pass).

2. bra that I do not wear

3. fuzzy slipper socks - If I had to choose between my slippers and these socks, I'd take the slippers - so I'm choosing, and the slippers are staying - bye-bye socks!

4. package of rubber bands (hair ties) not strong enough to hold my hair up to my preferred standard (ever since I had really long hair, which I no longer do, I haven't been able to go back to the smaller rubber bands - and when I run I use TWO of the jumbo ones, so I go through those rather quickly too).

5. assorted half-used cosmetics that I'm not sure why are still in my bathroom

6. THIRD box of books for classroom library!

7, 8, 9, box of reading quizzes from another teacher - One set of quizzes for Romeo & Juliet, one set of quizzes for the Odyssey, and one set of quizzes for Animal Farm. I'm definitely a hoarder when it comes to teaching materials, but I figure that by the time I'm teaching high school again (if that even ever happens), I'll be completely ready and wanting to create my own materials.

10. a very gross, very dirty (in the dusty sense) doll. I always have issues getting rid of "toys" - but this really has no sentimental meaning, and is beyond the state of being clean-up-able such that I might allow any future as-of-yet non-existent child of mine to touch it.

OK this is officially hard - I definitely need to go through all of my paperwork and purge files, but even if I do bank account, IRA, and student loan purges, that's still just three items... then there's also the matter of the VHS tapes - maybe I need to just resolve that WHEN I buy a new TV (hopefully soon), I will get rid of the entire box? (If I had the cash flow to purchase the TV now, I'd make the old TV & box of VHS tapes items 99&100 as a present to myself!)
