I decided that I have way too much stuff (surprise!) and that letting lots of the trinkets and smaller stuffed animals go that I don’t really care about was the right thing to do. I also threw in some older electronics and clothing that I knew wouldn’t be useful to me anymore. I went to a Salvation Army, dropped them off, and don’t miss a thing!

How I did it: When I saw that a $25 donation was enough to really help a group of women in the Middle East fix a car, I just couldn't say no. There was something... I don't know, perhaps I can just imagine what it must be like, and I felt for them. They've been repaying me back slowly, but I'm not too worried about that. I'll be sure to donate that $25 again as soon as I get it back, anyway. :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went through my older stuff - boxes of small gifts, stuffed animals, baskets - and put them old bags that I didn't need anymore, either. Then, I dropped it all off at a Salvation Army.It feels great! I still have more to do, but it's a great start! Read how I did it…
How I did it: We're just lucky! Also, he's super sweet to me, always wants to give me kisses, and loves me the most! We both win!He has always been a nice guy to me, and perhaps the only boyfriend my family ever accepted (especially my younger, highly selective little sister, who's opinion I cannot escape). Read how I did it…

Actually, I made if for my little sister’s cat. He’s still afraid of it, though. ;p
08/08/08! Besides the killer date, this concert was very, very pretty and totally worth it. Go! Team and Girl Talk beforehand helped up the ante, too!
