I thought we were through donating for June, that’s why I posted my June recap. But I finally, FINALLY, believe I have gotten to the bottom of Olivia’s get rid of spree. I’m sure she will still have things to donate, but this was her biggest purge in years. It was a lot. Here’s what went to live with someone else.
Pajama’s and jeans. 
Camisoles and tank tops with more jeans and a shirt.
More tank tops, skirts and a pair of fingerless gloves from when she was TWELVE.
Bra’s.
And more bra’s.
What we call at our house “soft pants”.
Shirts, a belt and a hairbow.
Shorts and more shorts.
Oh look! More lamp shades from my house. And a dog bowl. Where do these things come from? That was a rhetorical question. I know exactly where they came from, I just don’t understand why they are still in my house at this point.
A purse.
Random dishes that we DO NOT NEED. Although, here’s a funny side note. I told Denton a few weeks ago that if there is anything in the house that he definitely does not want to go away he needs to let me know. (I’m not talking about his personal belonging like guitars, PlayStation’s or his clothes – I mean community things in the house)
I didn’t even get all of those words out of my mouth before he interrupted and said no. Let it all go, he said. Literally the next day, he hollers down the hall at me and says “Where are the little plates?!?”
I knew exactly what he was asking about. They were the saucers that came with the set of dishes we received when we got married. And I donated them over six months ago, because they were the only things left from the set. It took him six months to notice that they were gone. Mind you, we have small plates. Just not tiny saucers. His complaint? He didn’t need a small plate for what he was eating, he needed a saucer, because it’s easier to wash. Never mind that he does not do the dishes. These are the things that we used to argue about. Just get another type of plate from the hoard I have collected, Dear and let me go about my day.
MORE random dishes that are never used.
ARGHHHHH, another tea kettle. I seriously think Liv hid this one from me, because she said as we hauled it away, “But what if ours breaks?”. Do not worry, there’s always Amazon. Or Wal-mart. Or the thrift store. I just cannot take all the stuff anymore.
Oh look. These are things I found in our garage. Weights that I bought Denton, years and YEARS ago that do not fit his persnickety weight set, that have sat and rusted in our garage for all of this time. I always ask if they will take something, so do not fear that I am dumping my garbage on my local Salvation Army. 
Another extra, sitting in my garage.
Here’s another example of something that most people would throw in the garbage. They have a lady who will come into the Salvation Army specifically to buy bags of these empty containers for pennies on the dollar because she will reuse them to make her own candles. Yay for keeping things out of the landfill.
Okay. That truly is the last of it for June. What have you hauled away recently?
