1 pair of jeans. I just bought 2 new pairs so I probably should find a second pair to purge.

I give myself full license to purge my 40 Lenten items at any rate I see fit between now and Easter. That said, let mr present items 1-7

1. Blue monogramed sweater (f you moths!)
2. Green sweater (double f you moths!)
3. Blue v-neck top with neck discoloration.
4. White too small / shrunken twin set
5. White cardigan from I swear 9th grade
6. Red double v-neck top
7. Black skirt (how many of these do I own???)

33 more! Yay!

Spring Cleaning?

OK, it's hardly spring... snow days are definitely a major perk of this job, but it is around the corner (or at least far off on the horizon). With this in mind, guess who still has too much crap? this kid.

As if getting rid of facebook weren't enough, I propose that beginning tomorrow I rid myself of one clothing related item every day for 4o days. That's 40 items by Easter. Note that this is all clothing related.

Deep breath...

Holding Myself Accountable...

I have too much stuff; I use most of it, but I really just have way too much stuff. A while back I had this grand plan that if I could just get rid of 10 things everyday for 10 days then after 10 days I'd have 100 less things... all I need to do is start getting rid of the stuff...

So here's the idea... Rather than just contemplate mathematical ways to get rid of my crap, I actually get rid of the crap and document the process in hopes that this will A) make me accountable for the purging and B) enable me to see patterns in what I have too much of and make subsequent purges less painful.

No restrictions on what goes - I have too much of everything, so this is really one of those time when truly anything goes. The only rule is that it must actually go - I can't just relocate it to somewhere in the house; unusuable items will be pitched, everything else goes to Goodwill. I'll provide lists and rationales and maybe pictures when necessary... (perhaps one big picture at the end???)

Time to start cleaning...
