Mike's Give It Away Journal - Week of 6.23.14

Week 18 of my Give It Away journey




Monday 6/23
Still working through the items I pulled from my closet. I like all the shirts I'm now giving away but had to admit that I rarely wear them.





Tuesday 6/24
Here is another book I came across and decided to give it away.







Wednesday 6/25
Over the year, I've collected several shirts from work. This one is from the 2009 PMA show in LA.  TRUETRAC was only a few days old when we drove to LA and manned the booth. Johnny, James, the stuff for the booth and I packed into my car and made the six hour drive.


Thursday 6/26
Today, I'm giving away one of my favorite hoodies. Last year, I happened into an Under Armour outlet store when they were having a one-day sale on hoodies. All hoodies were $20 so I bought three. I don't need three hoodies so I'm giving away this one. For now, I'm keeping the bright orange one and the one that repels water.




Friday 6/27
I used this Motorola Bluetooth headset for a year but could never get it to fit in my ear comfortably. I bought a new one over a year ago. I think I kept hold of it because I thought I might need a backup headset. This is true for a lot of the stuff I keep around.

Saturday 6/28
How many white dress shirts does one guy need? This guy only needs one.







Sunday 6/29
Back on 6/21 I gave away a Christmas present that I never ended up giving to my daughter. Today, I'm giving away another one of those Christmas items.

Week 17 of my Give It Away journey




Monday 6/16
When I was first married, I wanted a leather jacket and assumed I would wear it all the time. That jacket was stolen and I bought this one to replace it. I didn't wear either one often and so I'm giving this one away. Don't worry, I still have two other jacket in case it gets cold.


Tuesday 6/17
I recently went through my closet and found this t-shirt that I rarely wear. I'm giving to They Are One for their rummage sale.



Wednesday 6/18
Our friends have a house on a lake. I bought this to keep my sunglasses from falling off on the boat. It works but I ended up buying another one that also floats just in case the glasses and strap fall off.







Thursday 6/19
My oldest played for his 6th grade school soccer team a couple years ago. I bought this shirt to match their team colors. Haven't worn it for a since. Time to give it away.




Friday 6/20
I wore this dress shirt on special occasions for many years. When I was looking through my dress shirts, I realized that I hadn't worn this for quit a while now.



Saturday 6/21
I bought this for my daughter this past Christmas, not realizing that my wife had already bought her stuff. I stuffed it under my bed to keep it out of sight and came across it a couple days ago. No need to hang onto it till next Christmas.






Sunday 6/22
I like this shirt but rarely wear it because it is too warm for indoor use.

I started going through a pile of books and found several that I plan to give away. I don't remember reading this one but it looks like it has been read a few times.

Today, I'm giving away another item from our kitchen. This skillet has been sitting at the bottom of a drawer for 10 years. About time to give it away.

Wednesday 6/11
Giving away a couple more books today. I think I read the Steve Martini book but don't remember any details.






Thursday 6/12
Here is something I'm sure everyone will want. A cell phone belt holster for a flip phone.








Friday 6/13
Here are three more books that I've either already read or never plan too.





Saturday 6/14
I went through my closet this week, so you will see several shirts like this one being given away. I only wore this shirt a couple times a year.







Sunday 6/15
I went through a phase where I made pancakes and waffles several times a week. That was years ago. This waffle iron was just the right size when the kids were small, but now I have to make batch after batch to keep up with them.
