What: Cute Charlaine Harris book.
Origin: Borrowed for airplane reading.
Why kept: Out of Sight, Out of Mind. I also couldn't remember who it belonged to.
How long kept: Probably a year.
Destination: Return to Lender. (Thanks, "M".)
Confession: Before my bitter break up with Time Warner Cable, I had considered upgrading to HBO so that I could watch True Blood, based on Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels. (This is a different series, witha female protagonist who can find where dead bodies are buried. Hmmm. Not everyone can be Cormac McCarthy.)
There's a vampire joke in here somewhere, having to do with Time Warner Cable, but I think I've got to let go...

We're sisters recovering from our propensity to accumulate stuff. Self help and organizing methods have worked...uh, not so much. Instead, we've decided to get rid of one thing a day, every day, until the end of 2010. Join us!
The Rules
One thing a day. It counts only when it leaves the house.
We'll report on origin, how long we've had it, usage, where it is going, and why we've held onto it.
Click here for more on The Rules, which are arbitrary and subject to change without notice!
Oh, yeah: sense of humor and kindness are both essential.

The Reasons
Someone Might Need It.
It's Perfectly Good.
It Might Be Useful.
I Might Fix It (and it will be useful).
It Was A Gift From (fill in the blank).
It Belonged To (add name of dead relative).
I Forgot That I Had It/Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.
Someday, It Will Be Fashionable Again.
It Will Fit Me Again Someday.
Free-Floating Guilt.
Nostalgia.
It's Worth Money, If Only I Had A Buyer!
It Was Free.
Should Have Said "No."
Good Crafting Intentions Gone Bad.
AAArrrgghhh!
