I did some long overdue closet cleaning tonight and have three bags to donate tomorrow. I could and should do the same with my dresser, and toss out the dozen or so wrong size old bras I have lying around, but it's a start.

I cleaned out my make up bag and tossed my oldest shit out! Also, all of my lip stains, because FUCK lip stains, they're the worst.

It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. |

Lip stains tend to work better for me than lipstick (perhaps because I'm a person of color and have darker lips). I get better coverage and it lasts longer without smudging. Plus you can kind of layer colors. |

Plus you can kind of layer colors. I have a pasty, matte face. On me, lip stains literally look like I colored on myelf with a magic marker. Layering lip gloss on top doesn't do much, cause the gloss gets eaten within a half hour. I have tried something like five different brands (hence the purge) without success. I do have to reapply lipstick more often, but at least it looks decent rather than like I bit a pink pen. |

Ahem, on a 90 degree day, I can consume a soft-serve ice cream cone in its entirety without a single drip and without the aid of napkin. Yaaay! Related, but itโs like 32ยฐ (C, the only real temperature measuring system) and I had a meeting today. Iโm out of decent short-sleeved shirts so I rolled up long-sleeved ones and got through a day which included a fair amount of walking uphill without getting sweaty. |

Speaking as someone in the midst of moving, the lightness and joy of being rid of useless objects is immeasurable. If only I could convince my boys to feel the same.....they cling to garbage like it's gold. I'm trying so hard to be understanding, but seriously - any boxes of stuff that we have moved from basement to crawlspace to closet over the years without using or admiring just can't be that important. Frankly I'd like to shove it all into the yard and set it on fire. |

Muahaha. |

Frankly I'd like to shove it all into the yard and set it on fire. I agree, on the whole I have no problem tossing things out - I'm just lazy about actually doing it. I do get sentimental occasionally, but actually my husband is far worse about holding on to old objects. I would have donated my wedding dress a month after the wedding, but 8 years later we still have it, not preserved or anything, it's definitely not an heirloom, just in its original bag, crumpled to all hell. |

"Oh those [pokemon cards/food and wine mags/broken toys/filthy rotten grateful dead t-shirts]? Huh, don't know - must've gotten lost in the move." I get what you are saying. But you know, we recently had an auction and got rid of most of 4 household's worth of accumulations. In the process of cleaning out the old house, I have found quite a bit of relics from my and my folks past, and what really struck me was that it seems like some of the stupidest, most insignificant random items have brought back some of the strongest memories and emotions. Of course, most of it is stuff that already survived several purges over the years and is scattered through maybe a dozen boxes going back over three generations, so it's not like there are rooms full or anything. But I am glad they kept a few bits of the oddball stuff. |

I know how to make origami frogs (but nothing else), and I can sing the alphabet backwards. These are probably my most useful talents.

I rode on the Philadelphia subway all by myself yesterday. I'm a big girl now. First time I ever rode the MTA (NYC subway) I got on the wrong direction and asked a cop for help and he had the thickest Brooklyn accent and (despite a childhood in Philly) I couldn't understand him. Anyway I was super proud when I mastered that. |

I"m a ninja at paper cranes and cootie-catchers ...okay, what's a cootie-catcher? I missed this childhood thing! Unless it's a fortune-teller (which, IIRC, one area I lived in called a "picky number thing"). Then I'll just add it to my list of regional names for the fortune teller. |

Cootie-catcher is accurate: I totally call "shenanigans" on picky-number thing, though. No child on Earth is that prosaic. I swear on every copy of the Dragon Age Series, the two world of Thedas books and the comics I own, sir, picky-number thing was A Thing! I swear it! Cootie catcher must be some sort of coastal thing. I have never heard that term. But now those who make cartoons are spreading it to the childrens, killing our picky number things! |

In fact just the other day my son's teacher made one and none of us could think of what it was called. We also had Trapper Keepers but I don't recall anyone ever calling them that. |

For ages now, my iPod hasn't been sitting properly in its various docks. Last night, something fell out of it - I think it's a bit of the lining from my bag - and all is well again.
Not really an accomplishment on my part, but it was still the highlight of my week.
