geekchickI'm in a mood to get rid of stuff. I've gone through my closet, made a pile of things to clean and ebay (like a ballgown skirt or two, and the glitter pvc circle skirt that i've had for a year and never worn, and my corset dress that I haven't worn in a couple of years), another pile of things to take to goodwill (lots of old business clothes and my law office interview suit), and stuff to pack up for the summer. At some point, time to go through a few of the boxes still packed and see what I can throw out. I didn't do a whole lot of purging of stuff this last move, although I threw out many trash bags full of stuff in the previous move.
I'm such a packrat. I keep stuff forever, even though once I do get rid of useless crap I feel better. I'm just too bad with the "but I might use it, someday". And I just keep getting more Stuff. The curse of retail therapy. I'm feeling down, I go buy some boots or some clothing that's great clubwear (forgetting of course that I never go to clubs), and then I'm right back where I started.
I am trying to simplify my life somewhat. I'm failing miserably, of course, but I never really expected anything different.
