Downsizing at it's best!

Generally, downsizing is a negative term associated with lay-offs in a business.  Luckily I'm not the victim of such a thing.  I'm a volunteer.  I'm voluntarily downsizing my life.  Not getting rid of people, but getting rid of the things I want and figuring out exactly what it is I need.  Luckily, I'm starting from a reasonable place.  Aside from my car, everything I have fits in my room.  Now, of course this is all relative.  Some people would need to downsize just to make 6 foot piles of belongings that fit into their bedroom and others live out of backpacks year round(Kudos to Brad, Jay, and Alli for making this work and still looking cute).  I've never been one to hesitate to throw away my old shit, but lately I feel like I have less and less things that are easy to throw away.  So here's what I got...

1.CLOTHES/SHOES In the clothing department, things have been simple.  I either wear it more than once a week in season or its going to goodwill.  There are a few exceptions for items like dresses and cowbot boots.  I try to follow the same criteria for shoes.  I might even take a leap of faith to leave my whole 2 pair heel collection behind in NJ.  Wyoming doesn't strike me as a fancy shoe kind of place. 
2. MY ROOM-When I think about what I'll be doing when I get there, I can't help suppose that the first week or so I will spend a good amount of time in my room without furniture or friends.  So I'll certainly need room decorations.  Luckily I have a solid collection of maps and outdoor brand posters that I will use in an attempt to make my room feel more 'homey'.  Bedding will also be a necessity, but it could be a month or so before I actually get myself a bed. 
3.  MY OUTDOOR BIN-This is a box of essentialls.  Backpack, hiking boots, camel back.  You name it, chances are good its in there and waiting for the Rocky Mountains. 
4.  ELECTRONICS-laptop, camera, i pod.  done.
5. BOOKS-I'm trying to limit myself to 10 but it's hard. 
6. THINGS/MEMORABILIA-ugh. the things category.  Let me start by saying that my javelin IS coming to Wyoming.  No questions asked.  But where do I draw the line with journals, pictures, notes, etc.  I think one shoe box is fair.  More than fair actually, especially considering how far away I'll be, these little treasures will make me feel quite happy to see. 
7. KITCHEN-Project marj glass and my 5 trillion nalgenes and to go coffee mugs. 

And that's it.  That's what I'm taking with me. Maybe downsizing isn't so bad after all...
