purge

i am kind of a pack rat. you wouldnt think i could literally hold on to as much stuff as i do with all my moving. but it happens. i have a hard time letting go. in the back of my mind i always think. hmm. i wonder if this will come in handy some day. maybe a halloween costume. or theme party. funny. because i think i have heard my dad say the same thing. you really do turn into your parents. ha. he has held on to this awesome. leopard print. corduroy. blazer since the 70s (?). i hope to someday have something like that. make the kiddos think i am cool.

i have since decided i have way too much crap for one person. and half of it has sat in boxes in our garage for a year. i have over the last couple of months been more apt to throw things in a bag for donation. or in this case a garage sale. it just so happens. two yulies is hosting a huge sale this weekend. so i will be driving my five large bins of stuff over to her house. thats right. and it feels great. to purge. cleanse. and release.

i had some club tops from college. really going to need those. no. skirts that dont even fit. tops that are too short. shoes. oh. i tried to say goodbye. it was hard. purses. yep. cut that collection in half. i even found sweaters in a drawer. i had not opened that drawer since last summer when i moved in. when i opened it. i screamed. i had totally forgot about them. now that says something. wow.

there is some good to being a pack rat. like when LEMonade was visiting. when i was handing out items i had nestled in my drawers. she said how much she loved it when i did this. my freebies. if i have something. but dont use it. i give it to friends. could be clothes. jewelry. hair products. again. i have a lot of crap for one person. but you know. there are those glorious moments when i can dig something out that i have held onto. and it has made a come back to be used again.

i once had this fantastic idea to start an ebay business. i loaded up a trunk full of things from my parents garage. and it never left. i never got started. and instead i sold that car. so after being a storage place for a while. it all went right back into the garage.

i hope this a profitable sale. and if it isnt. it has actually already been one for me. it was a great feeling to rid myself of so much baggage. ha.
