i'm doing some serious spring cleaning, fall or not. i've given my 30-day notice so i'm now evaluating all of my possessions with a new criteria: do i feel like moving it? if not, out it goes!

i've cleaned out all kinds of crap. i had boxes of notes from people going all the way back to the 7th grade. who needs that kind of clutter? and i've finally come to terms with the fact that those 3 pairs of jeans will never fit again and that shirt i bought last year wasn't really all that cute in the first place. just moments ago i threw away a set of tupper-ware wannabe bowls that i bought at target 7 years ago for $5 or something ridiculous like that. i figured maybe it's time to upgrade from the nasty old bowls now that my 5-year college reunion has passed (read "official adult"). but i won't be purchasing them until *after* my move.

throwing away things can be quite freeing. you might make a point to be really nice to me for the next month - you never know what kind of treasures i might bestow upon you.
