another box of books - only kept 2 out of the entire box and maybe I can toss those two soon. Went through a box of dd baby stuff and my girl scout things - I need to scale back on that stuff too. Think I will take pictures of some of it and and toss them. Tore up an old sweater. Went through drawers of papers and got a couple more bags to toss. Went through kitchen cupboards and pulled out a couple things dd wants - huge mixing bowl and cheese server - washed those so I can pack them. All those bags sitting by the door - now I will muster up the courage to toss them out!

And why I kept it all these years in the first place - because I didn't move. Moving is a great motivator to tossing.

I am in the toss it all mode. Most of our stuff is in storage until we get another place. I figure out of all the stuff in there only about 3/4 of it will actually go into the new place. More tossing when we move in.

Good memories - but bad - deserted memories too.
