This weekend has been spent packing up half my room so my parents can come to the city tomorrow and bring it home. I'm only doing half because I have another month to live here and obviously... I need stuff. The second shift happens in a couple weeks, and then I'll be living out of a suitcase the rest of the month. Exciting, right?

Anyway - I decided that this would be an exercise in purging a lot of the crap that I've accumulated in the past two years. I produced 4 bags of trash - more to come, I bet - and 6 bags of clothes to donate to the Salvation Army. I could probably come up with more but I figure I can always do that in another shift when I'm home.

I do want to bring these 6 bags to the Salvation Army tomorrow, so I can get them in time to submit them with my taxes next year. So I had to take them all out and inventory them. Here's the breakdown...

Long-sleeved shirts: 26
Short-sleeved shirts: 14
Sweaters: 11
Tank tops: 16
Jeans: 13
Pants: 10
Sweats: 3
Skirts: 13
Dresses: 4
Outerwear: 11
Belts: 4
Bras: 2
Hats: 6
Scarves: 14
Vests: 2
Bags: 4
TOTAL: 153 PIECES!!!!

What's that? You don't understand the magnitude of 153 pieces of clothing in your living room?

Allow me to provide a visual:

The most frightening part is that I still have mounds and mounds of clothing, both here and at home in Jersey, waiting and collecting dust. MOUNDS.
