So today I'm going to give away 100 things, starting with my closet.
There's a lot of stuff in there that needs a good home.
Winter holdouts, pre-Texas (14 years)
Maternity leftovers (10 years)
Things I might fit into again (6/5/4/3/2 years)
I'm talking about the really cute stuff...
You know the Serentiy Prayer? Here is my cleaning-out-the-closet version:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot wear;
courage to find the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

DO you know Shelly's blog? I love it when she gets rid of 14 pairs of shoes. I don't think I even own that much.
Oh I remember when you did that with my stuff. Cowboy boots, for example, "oh take them, Erika won't mind!" And I didn't, of course, and was mad that you were right...
Mirjam -- I think we've got two different Shellys. : )
Those cowboy boots! You will never let me live it down -- the rainbow stitched ones you got from DI or something for freshman year equestrian class and then never wore again -- I did offer them to someone WITH THE PROVISION YOU MIGHT WANT THEM BACK.
I don't remember ever just going through your stuff, though. You LOVE to make me look bad. I might have to post more old photos. : )
I could have used those cowboy boots this year for the rodeo! You should have let her keep them so I could use them 15 years later...
Love, love, love this post. I am committed to getting rid of 100 things....which should be easy since I am cleaning out the big van to head on our road trip tomorrow. Do old french fries count? :)
That is awesome. I should totally count the things we get rid of. Quantatative cleansing. :)
