And while I'm at it - don't forget about this little gem I found last year at Christmas. If you live in the Chicagoland area and have a real tree to Get Rid Of, here's a company that will pick it up and recycle it for you (for a donation - I gave $35. Is that enough?)
Do The Right Thing! Recycling

Get cash for your old gadgets
This info was in Sunday's paper. I have not checked out any of the sites yet, but plan to (comments are directly from the Tribune). Truth be told, writing this post is a way for me to get another piece of paper off my desk while having a record in case I find stuff in the future to ditch. Wish I knew about these sources before I donated a TON of electronics to Goodwill last month...

Remember me?
Hey out there. Remember this blog I had? Me too...
So just to recap last year, I did indeed get rid of at least 365 things. Maybe they didn't all make the blog, but I know in my heart that I did it, and you're just gonna have to take my word. I took a bunch of pictures of random things in December and when I finally get them off my camera I'll update here. But believe me, I seriously lightened the load.
I really enjoyed doing this blog, and I will continue in 2011 as much as possible. Our baby boy is due in something like 32 days and that is kicking my ass. As will a toddler plus a newborn, I'm sure. But I'll always have Things I'm Getting Rid Of and will share as much as possible.
Thanks for reading!
