Purging (edit)
…my life of crap I don’t need. No, I am not a hoarder, I just have a lot of things. I’ve started with my video games. I love video games, don’t get me wrong. But there are games that I’ve played no more than an hour, or never played at all. I’ve found 19 games that I can get rid of. These are games that I know I will never play. All of them but 1 are PS2 games, and I haven’t had that system hooked up since February… do you really think I’m going to play these games?? No. I’m not. So I don’t feel bad getting rid of them at all. These games are going to the pawn shop. (Also, I can get rid of a guidebook along with one of the games)
Next, I think I will tackle my clothes. I have clothes I haven’t worn in years on the bottom of my closet floor, hanging up, in bins… yep. So those clothes will go to a used clothes store…whatever they don’t take can go to a Goodwill. Perhaps that will be a project for next weekend.
It’s not spring cleaning, it’s fall cleaning. I will feel so much better after getting rid of this crap.
Also, I am one step closer to self-publishing a book of poetry and prose! Yay!!
So I’ve gotta get dressed and head to the pawn shop….
EDIT:
So for 18 games (Madden 06 was too old) and the guidebook I got $45. More than I thought I would get! So I went to the mall and went to Bath and Body Works. I shop for lotions about twice a year, when the sales and clearance is really good. Last year, I bought a lot more than normal and I JUST started running out. I’m one of those people who can’t have dry hands..it’s like seriously an OCD thing. If my hands are dry, I start freaking out and get very anxious. Anyway, they’ve got a lot of new scents since the last time I was there!!
I bought Dark Kiss (OMG delishisness!!) and they have a new scent that comes out Nov. 1st, but they had a sample bottle for $1: Secret Wonderland. This smells good too. They had other new ones, but I didn’t wanna spend all my money so all I bought was the Dark Kiss and 2 samples bottles of Secret Wonderland. On the back of the Wonderland there are coupons for a free signature item with the purchase of a Secret Wonderland item. I love coupons, they are so wonderful!
Also, in my email, I noticed that B&BW is starting to hire for the Holiday season. I was thinking of applying to work during the season… make some extra money to pay down my debts and extra cash for Christmas shopping money. The thing is… 6 years ago I washed my social security card and it didn’t fare well… it was fucked. So can I just use my birth certificate when I apply for a job??? I don’t know!!

Goodluck with the publishing!
I like a good stuff-purge every once in a while. I need one but I’ve been putting it off since I’m moving out this month anyway so I might as well do it while I pack.
Yay for the book!!!! I will be ordering a copy as soon as you say it’s available
As for the purging, I really have to go through my clothes. It’s frightening. I don’t wear most of them, but I’m terribly sentimental. It’s one of those “A friend of a friend I met that one time thought this would be a nice gift, I can’t get rid of it” sort of things.
I just did that too. Now Im onto my photo equipment. I’m tired of stuff.
aw. foo. if i lived near you, i would have wanted your clothes.
yay! can’t wait for the book of poetry and prose (: good luck for the both publishing and purging ^_^
So I hope that means you are feeling better. It sucks being sick. I’m anxious to hear some funny stories from you.
always god to purge no matter what time of the year it is or what you are purging.
Yes you can use a birth certificate but it isn’t hard to get a social security replacement. I think you can just call the main office number and it takes a few days to get it in the mail
Congrats on the self publishing!
I like to buy lotions too. The scents are the reason I buy them. I can’t stand buying unscented lotion.
