When my friends and I had a recent discussion about our Lenten sacrifices, one friend told us about a woman who had given up one thing each day for all 40 days of Lent. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do what this woman had done. This blog will document my daily purging. Sometimes it will be just one thing, other times a group of similar things. But every day, there will be one less thing sitting in my house and one more thing in the hands of someone who needs or wants it.

Day 35: Two Jeans and a Corduroy
Finally, the day comes when I stop and realize that it's pointless to keep pants that are a size too large, and not at all flattering. Recently, I have found myself spending inordinate amounts of time digging through this section of my closet, trying to find one of the two pairs of jeans that actually fits decently. No more. If there's only one pair of blue medium-wash GAP jeans in there, it shouldn't be too hard to find the Perfect Boot Cut version with the safety-pinned right belt loop. I won't have to analyze all the pockets and re-read all the labels twice. I won't have to bring in a flashlight to check for wash variations. I might actually have time to dig beyond the top of the clean clothes hamper for a shirt.
