25. magnetic organizer w/mirror
I bought this a few years ago for my old place but never hung it up... it's cute but I don't really have a place for it in my house. So out it goes.

(minus)365 :: Day 1
Day 1 of my year-long-purging-of-material-crap challenge started off iffy... as in, I didn't even remember the challenge until about 4:00 in the afternoon. But I rallied. Hell yeah, I rallied. Here's what I subtracted from my life today:
1. buttons from old jobs
2. angels from old collection
3. pedometer
4. watch
5. necklace
6. pile of bobby pins
7. mini Peanuts lunch box
8. picture frame
9. candles
10. shelf w/key hooks
11. vinyl tablecloth
12. Dune trading cards
13. Post-it holder
14. playing cards
15. puppy seat belt
16. double showerhead holder
17. locker lock
18. wireless mouse & keyboard
19. napkin
20. mail/desk organizer
21. unopened pack of underwear
22. Star Wars watch tin
23. unopened 2001 Peanuts calendar
24. tree topper
Um. That's not bad, right? Like I said before, the goal is *at least* one item a day. But when I'm going thru boxes, I'm not gonna stop at one thing unless there's only one thing I can find. In addition to these items, I also filled a trash bag w/misc paper, junk & broken stuff.
As for what is getting donated, tossed or sold... it's a big goal to try to not to throw a lot of usable things away. But, there are some items that I don't want even wanna bother with at a yard sale. Bigger stuff like the tree topper, desk organizer, etc., I'll stash in the basement for my spring yard sale. While clothes and knick-knacks will prolly get donated ASAP. But little random things like buttons from old jobs will just get tossed, because who would want those?
Alright, 1 day down... 364 to go.

Yo, 2011!
Well. That was a quick year. But now it's Onward, Agnostic Soldiers. Ha.
So yeah, I got some ideas for 2011. Here are two:
Closet Makeovers: I have about 10 closets in my house and none of them are living up to functionality standards right now. But I have some ideas. Oh, I have ideas. So I thought I would tackle one closet a month until they all meet my magical mystical perfect closet standards. And FFS, if I can't handle finishing some closet makeovers, I should just cut my losses & sell this house. (Hahaha... it's funny cause it's true)
-365: Read that like: minus 365. I used to love stuff but now I hate stuff so I'm pledging to empty all the boxes and get rid of (at least) 1 thing everyday. Using the highly scientific donate, sell or toss method. And yes, sadly, there are at least 365 things in my home that I neither need nor want. Thus this little challenge.
"OOOHH, AAAHH," right?
But wait there's more!! Well, maybe. We'll see. But there's this for now & that's something. Hehehe...
