I'm trying to make it a weekly habit to empty the "outbox" near my front door (it's actually a large French straw market tote that hangs below the door knob so I won't forget). But even conveniently located, lately I've become rather lax about emptying it. So today these things went out: - 5 brand-new Clinique GWP items: eye shadow, blush, lipstick, makeup remover, and makeup bag, to a social worker who will deliver them to a women's shelter - 4 CDS, 1 DVD, and 1 book back to the library - 2015 Italy calendar returned to bookstore (I mistakenly bought the wrong one in haste, but later found the right one online) Now the tote is empty.

I sent an old mascara with a battery operated vibrating wand to the battery recycle place via DH. The mascara was a gift with another purchase. It took a while to explain the concept to DH... when he understood he said 'no wonder they were giving them away - who would buy something like that!' I think that I agree with him.

3 bags of regular trash, one large box and 3 new show boxes went out last night. I have room to walk again. Today I found tent pegs, we no longer have either tent. They look like steel so I will re cycle then at the same place I take my soda cans. I made $19.50 this week from all the coke and beer cans I have found/collected. Its now 70 cents per pound so if you have any in the garage/basement now is a good time to cash in.

Today I took a new pair of good shoes to goodwill. And a new never used rusk sack...back pack that it sturdy. My shoes I bought too small and kept them for 8 years....could not bring myself to let them go. The back pack was under the bed waiting for the someday I'll need this to happen. I don't feel great about giving up either but I did it.
I looked in the A/C box and there was a 36 pack of toilet paper...yay Easy to take out. Then I put the a/c that was on the floor in the box and in the corner making More room.
That was a good day for achievement as its a work day.

Yesterday's item was a pair of rollerskates that our youngest no longer fits. It went to the curb and someone took it.

Yesterday gave granddaughter one of daughter's old bookbags for her dolls. She was carrying them in a plastic grocery bag.
Daughter was happy because she likes things to go to the right person. When I comes to her niece she will let her have stuff she has out grown.
I was happy because one less bag in house.

Just pulled the holiday decorations down from the attic (for once getting an early start on Christmas, yay!) and, while we were there, also pulled out a few cheap baskets and weird Thanksgiving and Halloween decorations (2 holidays we don't normally decorate for, so I don't know how that stuff got into our attic in the first place) and put them straight into the trash.
