This week I’ve been trying to make my lunch hours “productive” by cleaning out several boxes that moved in with Jim — 4 years ago next month! LOL I kept saying to myself, “Why do we have so much stuff?”
Old boxes full of “all in one” motherboards with Duron processors, video cards made by companies long since gone the way of the dinosaur (remember Voodoo anyone?), all kinds of cabling supplies — this is all his crap btw, lol. I’ve already cleaned out my crap. :mrgreen: hehehe I’ve filled several garbage bags full of clothing to go to Hannah Home tomorrow, as well as kitchen stuff that we don’t need or use. Most of the clothing is mine and Jessie’s — although Jessie delighted in unpacking the bags of mine when she discovered that she could wear some of the old tops that I had from high school. She says to me, “Hey, these are almost my size — *gasp* you were so tiny! That’s so CUTE!”
heh, yeah, I was a skinny minnie … wish I could say the same now … of course back then I had a figure (or rather, lack thereof!) that Olive Oyl would envy, LOL. But anyways …
For a long time I was a makeup-hoarder … I’d buy pretty/shiny stuff, but never use it. I swear, I had a HUGE box full of it — mostly unopened! So it’s going to Hannah Home too. :) I even have a couple makeup mirrors that I received for Christmas a few years ago, but never opened, much less used — those are definitely going … I need the room! :D
I cleaned out a LOT of my old goth and clubbing clothes, lots of rosaries and crosses I had bought online and other related paraphernalia, several evening gowns, LOTS of shoes, lol … I can remember looking at each item and was amazed how with almost everything, there was a particular memory attached to it – a place, a song, or someone …
All the more reason to get rid of most of it, I guess. Most of the goth stuff reminds me of Fsckhead anyway.
But enough of that…
The job is going pretty well, but keeps me mega busy. (which is a good thing, lol) Also, I am *so* looking forward to this weekend. My Ladies Night Out group has a meetup this weekend and we’re having potluck dinner at the group leader’s house. I’m thinking of making some of my yummy Taco Soup. :grin:
I may upgrade my WordPress installs Sunday, but then again I may just decide to chill out … after all, I’ve worked and cleaned all week, when does a girl get a day off? ;)

When I first moved out I took 5 boxes with me, then a year later I moved back home and brought 11 boxes back. Yet I have no idea what I bought in that year. I swear i just horde stuff.
