the UN-pack rat

i like to think that i am really good at throwing things in the garbage. and usually, i am.
i love the feeling of throwing things out. i never think "what if i need that" or "who else might need that". i like de-cluttering my space!

until today.

my mom told me we had to clean out my closet while i am home this summer and so finally i agreed. and we did well. we threw out tons of stuff. and made a huge pile for the church.

but in my gigantic closet, there are still some things that i just couldn't part with. for example...

• over 80 TROLLS. remember trolls? well i have a huge box full of them. but they might be worth something someday right???
• 2 boxes of backstreet boys STUFF. just a huge random collection of BSB pens, shirts, cds, posters, etc. but i loved them so much....i can't part with it just yet....
• a box full of ceramic PIGS! yes, pigs. i used to collect pigs and i had like over 200 i would say. i did manage to get rid of two garbage bags of stuffed animal pigs though...that counts for something right?

and that's just a taste of it...i had a moment....where i doubted my un-pack rat-ness....weird!
