Totally going minimalistic.

So to coinside with my love of being able to just pack up and go, I've started the 100 Thing Challenge.
[URL]http://zenhabits.net/2007/09/minimalist-fun-the-100-things-challenge/[/URL]
I believe I have over 2000 items in my room if I count each one individually. If I count them as collections, there's probably still a good 500. This doesn't work very well in my get up and go hopes. So I'll be posting to this blog an inventory with pictures of everything I have. If you'd like anything from there, please feel free to PM me and I'll let you know if I'll part with it or not.
Just from looking at my closet I see . . .
1. Hat
2. Hat
3. Beanie
4. Beanie
5. Hanging storage thing never used
6. Stockings (don't ask)
7. Mickey Ears
8. Guy Fawkes mask
9. Socks
10. Bootineer from prom(can't spell and too lazy to check)
11. Color Printer
12. Piratey pants
13. Card collection
14. Rolls of Film
15. Desk Orgranizer
16. Bedside lamp
17-22. Dress shirts
23-32.T-shirts (not including those in the laundry)
33. Sweater
34-35. Pants
36. Work shirt
37. Apron
38. Scrubs
39. Leather Jacket
40. Mechanics Jumpsuit
41. Graduation gown
42. Shoes
43. Dress shoes
That's just what I can see from my chair into my closset, close to half of my budget. So that's my Summer project that I will hopefully by finished with by early July.
Another thought . . . I have two bookcases right now although half of each are just filled with random little memories. Could totally cut down to one bookcase or if I really wanted to be pack up and go then no book case at all. Still just in the planning stages but something I really do hope I'll finish!

Hey Chris! You're a very sweet and generous guy to just give this all away, but instead of doing that why don't you just have a nice yard sale some Saturday morning and make yourself some money with all this stuff instead?Posted 07-21-2008 at 07:16 AM by Mad Madame Momba

Thank you for the compliments and the suggestions, not to mention hello again.
I would have a garage sale but I work Saturday mornings until about 10AM, about time when it's too late as well as too warm to set things up. I'll see how my schedule works out as far as getting a yard sale up and running. I doubt that my parents would help out sadly. There really isn't enough stuff in my room to warrant a garage sale and neither of my parents really have the time (read: want) to go through their stuff again for a real garage sale.
I have a few things that are not even worth trying to sell, just stuff I was saving in hopes that I would find another use for, but never did. I'll try craigslist as well as ebay. But in the end if no one buys it, hey, at least someone else is taking it and it's not sitting around in my room doing nothing at all for me.Posted 07-21-2008 at 11:52 PM by Light Mouse
