"Lose It!"
* two coffee table books -- we don't even have a coffee table
"Use It!"
* The YMCA -- we joined the YMCA in December after realizing Bub was going to continue getting shut out of swim lessons if we waited for non-member registration. Hubby has gone several times to work out in 2009 whereas, until today, I had opted for the workout that is getting a toddler dressed and undressed--including swim diaper--for swimming lessons in the middle of the coldest January in recent years and with an infant in tow. The steamy conditions in the Y's family locker room, coupled with my own winter wardrobe, add to the intensity of that workout. It's like hot box yoga or whatever the hell it's called. But today while Bub was at school and Little Bit with our babysitter, I used 45 of the approximately 100 minutes a week I have completely to myself to walk on the treadmill at the YMCA.
Remember, tomorrow is Fess Up Friday (or, maybe I should call it something like "You're Fabulous Friday" because I want to celebrate using and losing and "fess up" suggests shame or something) . . . I'll work on the name; you work on preparing your list of the items you've been using or losing this week. I want to hear about them in the comments tomorrow.

As cold as it is today, I could clearly imagine the hot and sweaty "dress your child in the YMCA locker room scenario"
i envy your Y membership, but doubt i'd ever get on the treadmill anyway.
i do have some losing and using to report. i have been saving wool sweaters that have either been washed in the hot cycle, and shrunk, or have unmendable holes, with the intention of using them to make felted things. for instance, i had hoped to make a hand warmer for one of cosmo's friends. a hat maybe?
well, this week, that friend had a birthday, so i got out the sweaters and brought the sewing machine into the house (it is just too cold right now to work out in the "workshop/studio/garage," even with the heater on full blast). i made two hand warmers(one was an experiment [failed]) and gave one to the little boy today at his birthday party. it feels great to use up any so-called art supplies that i have been hording for the past 15 years. and as i was cutting and sewing them, i thought of how nice it would be to report back on your blog!
thanks again for the inspiration.
