Day 20
Away from home, but I'm certainly not keeping all the paper stuff I got...can that count if I get rid of it tonight?

day 18
Well, today's tossed item is better than yesterday's...the clothes had been heaped at the foot of the bed for a couple weeks before I took them out yesterday.
Today, I tossed a donut maker that I got at a garage sale. I haven't figured out exactly how a plastic cylinder with a spring in the middle can make a donut out of batter, but if you want it, it's yours.

day 17
I guess taking the trash out to the street doesn't count. So once again, I'm getting rid of clothes.
You'd think I did a lot of shopping...or didn't wear very many clothes...to get rid of clothes all the time.
I do like shopping at garage sales and Goodwill, I grant you that. But as to wearing few items, right now I'm wearing a winter vest, a fleece jacket, a sweater and a long sleeved tee shirt. And, of course, pants, shoes and socks.
So I really don't know where all these random surplus clothes come from.

day 16
Got rid of a lot of money. In exchange, got a new minivan.
A minivan. I ask you, what self-respecting person with nearly grown kids gets a minivan? But the 4-Her liked the dvd player.
And that's why we got a minivan and by doing so, got rid of a lot of money.

Day 15
I didn't know what I was going to get rid of today. The 4-Her and Highschoolgeekgirl had done some room cleaning, and there was a big pile of books in the middle of their room...thought I might have to use those for mine, but it sure seemed like cheating.
Then I realized that if we're going to pick up a new used car tonight, I'd probably need my drivers license (which has, of course, been missing for about a year).
The best and most likely hiding place: the area around and under the dresser/tv stand in our bedroom, an area rife with yuck factor. Sigh.
So I dug around under the dresser, and behind the dresser, and in front of the dresser, using a flashlight, a broken yardstick and a Louisville Slugger (that didn't help much, actually).
Didn't find the drivers license, but I found a lot of papers that we don't need anymore.
So tonight's item: a plastic garbage bag full of old papers, broken pens, dust, yarn, etc.
Plus I found well over a dollar in change, mostly quarters, dimes and nickels, so I got that going for me.
