			Got rid of some assorted kitchen stuff, some I don't need, some I upgraded...dropped off at the Goodwill, where I picked up a signed cookbook by French author/chef, in French, and a brand new chocolate brown Irish sweater, handknit, all for $10. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	These are the dangers (thrills) of visiting the Goodwill store, even just to donate! A girl can't help herself, can she? But the rule is to give more away than pick up! Elle*  |

			two days ago I discovered the "free" section on Craigslist and ebay classifieds 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	What a discovery!!! I listed and old stove and apartment sized washer that had been lingering in my garage for several years. A guy picked them up today who was unemployed and actually intended to use them rather than scrap them. He brought his young son with him. That reminded me that I had some old kiddie bikes in the shed. He took all three of them and a large "big wheel." He has six kids. He said he fixes up bikes and sells them, so one way or another, some kid will be riding those bikes. Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhh Additional benefit - this made a big dent in the crap in both my garage and shed. I love it  |

			I have been trying to declutter and have not been able to do so. As soon as my foot heals (I has surgery Tues), I am going to do a "clean sweep" approach that I read about in a blog I follow. This involves putting away literally everything I own.  Then as I need something, I will retrieve it. At the end of 6 months (my own deadline), everything unused is going to be disposed of! Viola, end of unneeded items!

			Now that I have discovered the "free" section of craigslist, I feel like I can take on (actually, get rid of) anything. My son and I moved a bunch of boxes from a place they were not easily gotten into, to a more open space. Tomorrow I am going out there with a pad and pencil and I'm making a list of the things I want gone. Then I will be listing them on craigslist either for free or a small sale amount. I might actually get rid of everything I want gone.

			Got rid of more stuff out of the shed. My dad had an old wheelchair that no one I knew wanted, so I posted in on free/craigslist, along with several large old tarps that were really in my way. The response for the wheelchair was immediate, and the lady who came to get it really needed it. The same people took the tarps, so I got a two-fer. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Watched Oprah's show about hoarding. Hoarding, thank god, is not a problem I have, but still it made me want to go home and get rid of everything. I have claustrophobia and could barely stand to watch that clutter on TV. I would not be able to live in it. Anyway, I still want to give/sell lots more stuff. I have a bunch of stuff put together out in the garage for a sale I hope to have next Thursday  |

			Hey Words, I have never seen this thread until today. Last year I sold my place where I had been living for the past 17 years. I had a major purging of "things." I am still going through some things and getting ready to do another paring down in the Spring of 2011.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The hardest thing to part with are my books. I am trying to use a library more often and less of purchasing books. Now, if I could purge the few extra pounds.
