I heard about this woman who gave away 7 things a month, or 3 things a week…or something like that. She just had a box by the door; I think I’ll do the same. I have so. much. stuff. I figure I’ll start with 5 things a month—from clothes, to trinkets to rarely used kitchen supplies.

How I did it: A good friend took me to a sushi-making class. So, although I didn't COOK, per se, I did get to make my own sushi. It was so much fun! The sushi guy was across from us at a large table and showed us what to do and then would watch us, to make sure we were doing it correctly. Read how I did it…

Saw this on Goodreads and thought I’d do it, too. I have a “shelf” on good reads, but I think I’ll add them here, too so I can see them all together.
I’m going to be more lenient with Q and Z :)
