So, it's been a while but that's okay. I've been busy working my butt off lately. Yesterday was the first time that I had two days off in one week (Monday and then Friday) so, since I was fairly relaxed, I decided to take on the challenge of CLEANING the house. This was a seriously daunting task. Part of me just really wanted a clean house and then another part of me wanted to start my 100 Things Challenge. After successfully taking inventory of most of my daily-used items, I already have near 100. This does NOT include things like cosplay costumes, pictures, books, etc.
I also talked to the boyfriend. He is completely on board with reducing the amount of things we BOTH own. It will be great having a partner in crime to work with while on this "mission".
Lastly, I have also been looking at ways that I can reduce/reuse my gentle worn items. Part of the reason I can't throw things away is the feeling that I "Might need that for ____ one day". The truth is, I don't need those items and I won't need or use those items. Obviously places like GoodWill dominate my donation list. However, what do you do with those 3 colored pencils or scrap fabric or whatever. My solution? Freecycle it! Tons of cities have Freecycle programs. Essentially, the idea is that you can place an offer for things you have that other might want/need. Likewise, you can post an ad requesting certain objects that you need. I've seen everything from furniture to pencils on my local Freecycle list. If this is something that interests you, I recommend you check them out.
Until next time!
