In the closet.

So last night began the closeting process--cleaning out my closet(s). I have done this multiple times at our abode over the last few years. I end up tossing bags of clothes into the garage. The garage also holds a whole lot of other give away clothes from when we moved from the ATL. Clearly, I have a problem. I really want to lead this simple life of basic items. Get rid of a black shirt every time I buy a black shirt. But lets be serious, who needs only one black shirt? They are essential.

So last night I put my clothes that I'm not going to be able to wear for a while into some 5 gallon tubs. Then, I took the remaining weird items that I haven't worn in at least a year or 2 and am giving them away. Granted, I could take a lot of them to a resale shop, but that's a lot of work. And some of the things could be an exciting find for someone at a thrift shop. Then I hung up the items that my super friends have let me borrow. Ps. They are wonderful friends with very cute clothing.

Honestly, I really really want to be better about downsizing everything--well my things. We will obviously need to upsize baby things. It's really a strong desire and something I'm going to have to work at. I blame my mom--who may or may not be on the show Hoarders some day. I've told her this--it's not a secret. It will make cleaning easier, finding things easier, doing laundry easier, and someday moving easier.

So there you go, blogger friends. I have a goal. That, and to re-start working out (which I totally blame on the crapstown weather we've had.)
