I realize that this first few months of flinging will be easier then the last few months of flinging.  There is so much around my house right now that we don't use, no longer need, is broken, or is just simply garbage (ahem, I'm talking to you junk mail pile).

January 14 - I decided to work in the Kitchen this afternoon as Husband and Child are not here and I'm free to keep, donate, or throw out whatever I want.  I've got Season 1 of Buried Alive (TLC's show about Hoarding) on for motivation and I'm making Onion Soup too.


Garbage
1 empty plastic pkging
1 lid to a container...but where the container is?  we're not sure...
1 container of some kind of fruity ice mix for drinks which my friend gave me for my birthday the year Andrew was born - so it's like 4 years old
1 piece of long foamy plastic (I think it was from when we had a couch that had a slipcover?)
1 pkg of cake mix (again, from my Mom...probably expired)
1 gross horribly old cough syrup (that my Grandma gave to us to use after my Grandpa died....in 2007)
1 mostly used pkg of heart-worm pills
1 kids dental kit that I found under the sink and it's all gross
5 little bits of paper and stupid things like a belt hook and magnets missing the magnet

13


Recycling
1 ancient ancient bottle red vinegar - down the drain and bottle into recycling
1 jar of ancient coffee from the first time Steve's parents came to visit...so like 2006
3 big plastic lid to some kind of container
1 jar that had old dried fruit in it

6

Donate
5 Frisbees (I'm pretty sure my Mom gave these to us because her old dog liked them - there was 6, I kept 1)
Package of Child Safety Stuff (plug covers, door handle covers,etc) - counting it as 5
4 toys
1 book
4 VHS movies
1 old lunch bag
1 dog harness


1827 - 13 - 6 - 21 = 1787 things to FLING
We've flung 224 things!!!

January 15 - Still working on the Kitchen...It's crazy how food and spices pile up and get old and then sits there because it's old and you don't want to use it.

2 containers of cocoa powder...I think.  the pkgs are unmarked...
1 container of Chinese Five Spice that I bought right after I got married (so like 6 years ago)
1 pkg of dill weed that we've had for years (probably like 6 now) 
1 container of onion salt that I got months before I even met Husband
1 pkg of poorly stored croutons
4 empty jars

1787 - 10 = 1777 things to fling!
