What: Earplugs.
Origin: Mid-90s international travel.
Usage: Nope.
Why kept: Aaargh. See confession.
How long kept: Since the mid-90s...and see confession.
Destination: Textile recycling.
Confession: I got rid of the rest of the contents of the little business class travel kits earlier in this project. I stashed these, Out of Sight, Out of Mind in the medicine chest?
I kept these because I might have a houseguest who snored? And thus I Might Need Them?
What was I thinking?

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!
