1000 Item Challenge Day Fourteen

1000 Item Challenge Day Fourteen - WE HIT 200!

Yesterday was a 4.5 hour training day (#IronmanLife), followed by going to Plattsburgh to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (GO SEE IT) and have dinner, so no organizing/decluttering happened.

However, we are back on today with a fresh new selection of items heading out the door.

First of all, to follow up on Friday's post, we did indeed go to the dump, where we dropped off an old air conditioner and CRT television. It was only two items, but they were both really big and took up most of the back of the car. (Which right now looks worse because I'm sorting through memorabilia down there, but that's another story for another time.)

I didn't get a picture of those two items, but I'm totally adding them to today's total.

Big-ass television
Air conditioner
Old photograph book page
Nasty makeup brush
Television manual
2 old childhood drawings. (And no my mother doesn't want them - she gave them to me when SHE was clearing out years ago!)
Pillowcase
Show ticket
Show playbill insert
Faucet part (yes, ANOTHER)
Social security paperwork (Hysterically enough copyrighted my birth year, so it may be from my ORIGINAL Social Security card! LOL!)
5 finishing nails
3 other pieces of random hardware

Today's Total: 21 items out the door

Overal Total: 201. Woohoo! And I know I keep saying this, but once again, over 200 items gone and you can't even tell. I mean, even getting the television and air conditioner out of the basement only made a subtle difference. I do like the goal of 100 items a week to keep myself on track so I'm going to stay with that for now.

1000 Item Day 57 - Back from Ironman

Hello! The past two weeks were too crazy to do more than just throw the occasional item in the "get rid of" pile. Not only was I getting ready for Ironman, I had two huge projects thrown on my plate at work, I had to take a day trip to Boston, AND I had to spend a weekend sherpa-ing my boyfriend through a race of his own. Phew! So glad I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks - I need it! Anyway, back to the grind, at least until I leave for Seattle. This is so much a "haul from today" as catching up on stuff I piled up. This week I'm hoping to get back into the groove with decluttering and create that capsule wardrobe. Pajama shorts Running singlet Running dress Mason jar Contacts case 2 Paint stirrers 2 Pieces of paperwork Running hat 2 Screws Today's Total: 12 items Overall Total: 712 items

1000 Item Challenge Day 41

Another day scrounging around for that ten-item minimum, but got it done.: Race bib (I usually keep these but I actually won an award and already have the plaque on the wall.) Newspaper (Yes, it was cool to keep the paper from the Sox's first World Series win in over 80 years, but...I never even look at it. Maybe this makes me a bad Bostonian, but out it goes.) 3 Photos 2 Screws (Really scrounging the bottom of that formerly overflowing Junk Drawer that was stuffed with hardware.) Jewelry...bag, I guess you'd call it? Hoodie Pendant Today's Total: 10 items Overall Total: 520 items
