Identify and Rid Myself of 43 Items of Überclutter

I tried to wear them on Friday. But I didn’t even make it out of the house before it was clear that I was going to seriously injure myself. My feet are too narrow for mules, I tend to walk right out of them unless I flex my toes with each step. And the heels were off center to how I step, so it was a struggle not to twist an ankle. Too bad, they were cute. They went into the clothing swap bag (which is were I got them in the first place).

Leftover strips of aluminum from the mis-sized garage door gasket I’d put in ages ago. We can put scrap metal in our recycling now!

Cleaned out all the bathroom cabinets. Tossed all kinds of little odds and ends. Why do I have so many nail polishes? I don’t ever use them. (Except I used some last night to justify not throwing them away, then I realized how god awful ugly the peach I painted my toes was and that bottle was tossed. My fingers are now purple and every time I glance at them I think they look bruised.)

Lots of uber-clutter identified. I’m trying to sell it all, which is such a freaking hassle. It will be a while to get through with this.

Can we count G W Bush for this? We’re all rid of him!

The owners manual for a phone that was stolen a year ago. Recycled.

33- random cord from the hood of a sweatshirt. Its been in the bottom of the closet for something like a year. Finally just tossed it.

29- Ugly Christmas decoration stuff I’d recieved over the last few years (box of Chrismas cards, Roudolf dishtowels…)
30- Heart-shaped pedestal picture frame
31- Set of stinky lotion/bubble bath from Bath & Body Works

All gifts for a white elephant exchange (I offered to bring extras in case other people forget or don’t notice the exchange on the invitation)

That suit! I put my first suit into the clothing swap. It got tried on, but no one wanted it, due to the ridiculous high-wastedness of the pants.

It along with all the other clothing swap leftovers (3 big bags of clothes) will be dropped off at the YMCA by the end of the week!

I was shocked to see just how many sets of gloves, scarves and hats I own. Seriously. No one needs that many scarves, especially me who doesn’t wear scarves!

25 – 3 or 4 scarves
26 – 3 sets of thin gloves and one set of snow gloves
27 – 3 winter beanies and a straw sun hat
28 – a couple bracelets that are pretty but I have to admit I never wear and have others that are similar in case by some strange event I did have the urge to wear jewlery.

All toward the clothing swap.
