21. a bunch of movies… I think I took too long, so my husband just gave them to someone for their garage sale. ha. so I guess I’ll just count them as one, then.
22. Egyptian beading kit. It was an awesome gift as a kid, and I used it. There were lots of beads left, tho, so I decided to pass it along and let someone else get some enjoyment out of it.
23. a… book… of some kind. I feel like such a fool saying that, but it was a manual or something. not literature or anything.
24. Song of Solomon (that Marlene Dietrich movie) cause it was good to see it a couple of times, but I don’t consider it a keeper.

I tried to get rid of another book (manual), but I keep finding uses for it before I put it back in the ‘get rid of this crap’ pile. But I think I’ve got it pretty well memorized now, and I had my husband read the part I wanted him to read, so I think I’m going to finally get rid of it. Soon.

I was also going to get rid of a few more clothes, but I decided to alter some of them instead. I’ll give away the rest later, or maybe try to sell them to Plato’s Closet or something.

When I finish decorating our loft (with stuff we already have, of course) I want to have dinner in there. Cause it would be a nice change without having to actually go out. We’re so blessed to have a house. I want to be more grateful for it.

My son and daughter have both been to the west coast and midwest at least a few times (their grandparents live there), and we all went to Myrtle Beach last fall (that’s … haha). We also took my daughter with us when we went to the Mayan Riviera last winter because she was still nursing. Too bad she won’t remember!

I also show my son videos on the internet (love the internet!) of animals, places with lots of cars (haha… he has to have the vehicles… he is a preschooler, after all).

I think I’ve also been working on this goal by teaching my son to respect all life… human, animal, plant, etc. =) When he gets a little older, and when my daughter gets older, also, I’ll teach them that everyone is different, and sometimes very different from one another, but that we love and respect all of them.
