94-95 two more silver-plate serving items
96 an antique camera (thinning my collection)
97 old fan
98 old iron
99-100+ nail polish (I keep finding more stashes of colors I never intend to wear)

I've hit the 100+ every month so far this year.

I finally mailed off 31 pieces of my daughter's clothing for a total of 59 so far for the month.

I'd made a New Year's Resolution to get rid of 1,200 things this year, but it's become clear I've had to prioritize other things. So far, my total for the year is only 278.

However, I expect to have some time to do some major decluttering in the second half of August, so I do think a goal of getting rid of around 700 things this year is pretty realistic, and that would still make a big difference in my home. I hit that number a few years ago (after starting with a goal of only 365), and it was a bit of a triumph for me. Mostly, I just want to be sure that for the next few years, I get rid of more than I take in, and I think when I hit around 700, I can be pretty confident I've done so.
