Less: jewelry

This is how much I had:

This is how much I'm keeping:


The rest has been organized and bagged for giveaways, donations, and yard sale.

Oh, well. It's a start.

Books. Books. Books. Always too many books.

Last summer I gave 11 boxes of books to the university library.

I was going to keep only those books that fit on the remaining six bookshelves.

I got rid of all my fiction -- except Austen, Spark, Forster, Wharton, Woolf, Cather, O'Connor, Byatt, Patchett, Chabon, Waters, Thurber, Irish authors not published in the U.S. -- and some other stuff.

I got rid of all the non-fiction that wasn't on 20th-c. musical theatre -- except theatre history or theatre theory or theatre (auto)biography or theatre design -- and some other stuff.

I got rid of all the drama that wasn't -- oops! only a few duplicate anthologies gone.

I got rid of anything that didn't fit on those shelves -- except for those eight boxes in the closet. And the five boxes I took to California.

Well, I did finally clean out my sock drawer.
