100 things part 2 (I’m still on a numbers kick)

A few people have asked me how I did on my 100 things challenge

If you didn’t read the post, well what the crap!? Anyhow, the basics of it was that I was going to donate, destroy or give to a friend – 100 things I own.

So this is what happened:

-I donated/destroyed 50 pieces of clothing. I didn’t want more than half of my 100 items to be in any one category so I limited myself to 100 items of clothing. I did this by only counting a pair of socks as one and by under counting the total. Basically I donated 30 some shirts (some t-shirts, some sweaters, some brand new button up, etc.) and threw away 40 or more socks. I didn’t think the socks had enough life in them to give to anyone…and it felt kind of gross.

-I threw away 50 random items (knick knacks, magazines, stuff, etc.) that didn’t really have sentimental or perceived value. If they had perceived value I probably would have donated them or given them away. If they had sentimental value, I probably would have given them away a while ago. I just don’t get sentimental about stuff. I feel ok about that. It’s just stuff. I gave away 10 books. Most of these were free books given to me over the years that haven’t been opened. In fact not one of the ten was a book I’d read at all…and I gave away/threw away some c.d.s. None of these were Dennis Miller’s Off White Album, so don’t panic.

-I gave away 4 tape dispensers. These weren’t really mine and they don’t go into the official tally. I jus think it’s weird that I had 6 in my office that I share with no one…unless you count God…and why wouldn’t you? Shame! (that’s why I have two by the way, he loves tape)

-I gave to each of you this post. You’re welcome.
