One of the few good things about having to start a new blog is that you can recycle your awesome titles from your old blog! Booyah.
Anyway, as some of you know, my wallet has more cards in it than that of your average person. It seems perfectly normal to me, but every so often I have to go through there and take stock of the nonsense. After multiple people commented to me in Europe about the sheer volume of crap in my wallet, I felt that the time had arrived.
After going through it all, here is what didn't make the cut:
- Amtrak rewards card (I take the bus, yo)
- White House Black Market card (poor grad students don't shop)
- Stem cell donor card (Remember the time I had not one, but TWO marrow donor cards? HOW DO I DO THIS? I've never donated anything other than blood)
- Business card of the chick who highlighted my hair for free 2 weeks ago (Sorry, but I only get my hair colored for free. No interest in becoming a future client)
- Victoria's Secret free underwear coupon that expired on June 8th. (Doh!)
- 3 business cards for my 3 temp agencies. (I know how to reach them and harass them to give me work without these things)
- $3 gift card to Peets Coffee that I've had since December. ($3 is just not worth the space this thing is taking up)
- THE PASS (I am particularly sad about the passing of THE PASS, which is a card that can get you free drinks at random NYC places. I tried calling THE PASS number a few days ago and alas, it is no more)
- Social security card (Okay, I'm not throwing this out obviously but no need to carry it in my wallet anymore)
In case you're interested, here is what is STILL in my wallet:
- Driver's license + my 2 expired ones (I like having them around because..dunno. I like looking at the old pictures?)
- Metrocard, Charlie Card, a one way ticket from Penn Station to Millburn, my teeny tiny JESUS NYC subway map that is so small I can't read it but I will NEVER throw out the Jesus, and a NJ Transit train schedule
- Credit card, debit card
- CVS card, Duane Reade card, $25 gift card to Best Buy that I won from some dude's blog, Shaw's card
- Student IDs from both undergrad and grad school
- NYC library card, Border's card, my little Mannersmith tipping chart that I got during grad school orientation and that I never use because I always use the tip calculator on my cell phone but I couldn't bear to throw it out anyway
- Health insurance card and 2 blood donor cards, 1 for NY and 1 for New England (BOTH NECESSARY, SHUT UP)
- A photocopy of my mom's AAA card, which I really don't need because I don't drive ever but, you know, whatevs
Man, I'm so cool. And now my wallet feel seriously thin.

How big is your wallet that you could even fit all that? By the way, there are keychain versions of NYPL, Borders, CVS, Duane Reade, and Shaw's cards!
