I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
I'm s.l.o.w.l.y getting close to the half-way mark in my purge goal. The challenge, I've found, is not finding thejunk treasures to part with, it's more finding time to find the treasures. I am, of course, surprised that I don't have time. I do believe that my mind lives in its own universe where there is nothing BUT time. However, the rest of me lives in real time - what little there is of it. Got that?

134- My 3-in-1 small appliance. I realized that I use exactly 1-in-3 and that the fact that it is non-stick (which raises alarm bells in my now-PFOA-consciousness) means I won't continue to use it. It is not Teflon, so not on the list of harmful. Yet.... I am opting for a plain old crockpot. With glazed ceramic bowl. Of which I am sure they will find causes unknown risk to us all. Sigh.
135- This book was inspirational back in my catering, 'just call me martha' entertaining days. Now, you'll get placemats and - on a good day - matching flatware.
136-138 More casting off of the plastic. Even though these are reusable bags, I am heading in the direction of fabric that I can toss in the washer if need be.
139-140 Even though there are days when I could actually drink two cups of coffee simultaneously (is that physically possible?), I am paring down. The cup on the right is a Bennington Potters cup and was a bit difficult to part with....
Except, now I have this beauty! (Which actually means that I am adding something, which reduces the total number by one, technically, but it's my game and my rules. Pfft.)

Susan,
Mug with Humanity, interesting....can't wait to read your next post.
Your doing a good job going through everything and taking your time to find the perfect treasures.
Yes, I got that! You've explained perfectly why I am always so sure I can get EVERYTHING done that's on my list . . . and never do.
That new mug ROCKS!
A book on beautiful place settings. Hmmmm. At my house, you'll be served on Corelle plates with paper napkins. BUT---I will be THRILLED at the company and I do make a mean apple pie....so I must be forgiven my lack of "fancy eatin' dishes"!
Where are all these treasures going? Just curious . . . :o]
Wow, you are really progressing on this. I am purging my cupboards and donating to the Oldest Daughter's (shared) condo. It's felt good to purge and re-organize.
