Today, I got rid of...yay!

iamkeri1 · 11-10-2011, 10:26 PM

Sold that foosball table two days ago. Unfortunately it did not genreate good Karma. Sometime during the sales transaction or in the moments following when I sprang out of my garage to yell at a dude who was driving through my front yard to get to the industrial parking lot next door to me, my purse dropped off my scooter without me noticing it. Only a few minutes went by before I noticed it, but I never did find it. I figure it fell when I was in the yard yelling at the guy. Hey universe - wazzup? I didn't even swear at the guy (and to his credit he didn't swear at me either) Maybe he picked it up, maybe someone else did. So I parted with some things that day that I did not intend to. Drivers licence, credit cards health insurance card and other ID, pics of my kids when they were little. My UAW union card that I have always been proud to carry, a "Free Hug" coupon I have carried since 1981. Two two-dollar bills; one my dad gave my mom when they were first made in the seventies, and one my late hubby gave me in 1987. I always said that I was never broke as long as I had them. Lastly and sadly a picture of my hubby taken when he was nineteen (around the time we met) that there is no other copy of.
Parting with the foosball table felt good parting with the purse felt bad -very BAD

Smooches,
Keri

I got rid of a half dozen bags of clothes that have not fit me for over a year.

Little victories are good.

Every other month or so I should be able to do the same, I boxed things by size and dated them over the last year so there won't be any sorting.
Things will just "expire" when the date hits and off the boxes will go without even opening.

This time next year I will only have two sizes.

'Cause we all have our moments.

A big bag of assorted things went to the Goodwill, including two pairs of brand new pants I got at a Barney's sale, but they were low waist and I never wore them.
Also, I am working through my stash of yarn, knitting baby things for a craft shop for the holidays (they asked me) and for my etsy site (opening anytime soon). So lots of stuff will be leaving my apartment! However, the yarn stash only got a small dent in it, because it is huge! How can anyone have so much yarn? A knitter, that's who!

Another two huge garbage bags of clothes that do not fit.
Cleaned out my shelf of plastic containers... where do all those lids come from?
Cleaned out my fridge... not sure what was in that bag... nope not at all
Cleaned out my linen closet, got rid of sheets and pillow cases I am sick of
The one I am most proud of... I sorted through and dealth with every single piece of mail and "tend to later" mail... what a RELIEF... I can't even describe it.

Today, I am going to list a book case, never out of the box, on one of those sites... I thought I had room for it... nope did not.
