Look What I Found This Week
This week, since the weather has been so un-winterlike, I decided to do a little "spring" cleaning. Since I travel so much, all my stuff (except for my one suitcase that I travel with) is in storage. This week, I went through that storage, to see what I could get rid of. Of course, if you are like me, you know that sometimes going through your storage to "get rid of it" results in a walk down memory lane. So, grab a beer (inspired by Kim) and look what I found this week! In addition, I did do a few other things. They are also included below.
Before I went crazy and started doing a major sorting movement, I had my extended family's Christmas party (in January)! It was great to see all the cousins!

| Some of my younger cousins -- pretty in pink |
I went running. Only twice! I have been slacking due to the fact that I have had so many other things to do this week! I need to get back on track, so to speak!
 |
| I found a new trail! A little overgrown but FUN! |
Instead of running, I have been helping re-roof a house! It is a lot of work!
I also went to an auction -- not to buy anything, but to see how it worked, in case I want to sell anything. BUT...you can get some darn good deals on things! I saw one 46 piece dish set, a nice one too, go for about 5 dollars!
Okay, so you have gone through old stuff, right?
I wonder if you keep as strange of things as I do.

{1} My diary from when I was about 8. Complete with fool proof locking device!
{2} My first medal from my FIRST running race! 1986.
{3} My first digital camera!
{4} My "best friends" necklace from Jr. High! Remember those!?
{5} SO MANY books. It is really hard to get rid of them though!
*in case you can't read, they are "travel/memoir/reference" and "Not Read Yet" *
*These are the "not read yet" books!
A whole box. I am SO embarrassed! I need to get a move on with my book reading goal!*
But...and you should be very proud, I got rid of FOUR bankers boxes of books! FOUR! I am sad, but happy!!
And, last but not least, we had a bonfire. To burn the old files I threw away (tell me, WHY did I keep some of them?) as well as....the Christmas tree! How sad. Except I don't know if you can see or not, but my parents were VERY excited about it.
Okay now, you need to help me. Am I normal? Or do you keep things too? What item is it hardest for you to get rid of? What do you do with your Christmas tree once you take it down?
