Just came back from a speedwalk with 2 friends and three dogs. Stopped at Starbucks and did not, I repeat did not have a crack latte. Iced green tea half sweet for me, amigas! It is always such wonderful incentive to know that you will be in a swimsuit surrounded by strangers! But I have been eating whatever the heck I feel like and really enjoying it. It has cost me two pounds. Time to get serious....seriously.
Speaking of serious, I have seriously been looking at all of the crap that is in my house. It is once again spring, and I feel the urge to purge. I am tired of opening closets and having stuff fall out on me. Fed up with shoving things under the beds to store them. Tired of looking in every drawer, nook and cranny to find that I have so much stuff in them, but can find nothing. So it is time to get real, and clean out the old. It is sometimes fun to have a full closet. But in reality, I only wear about 10% of it. And I am usually pretty good about getting rid of anything I haven't worn in a year. I am really good with the kids, as it helps them be more organized and neat if they are not struggling through clothes that no longer fit their growing bodies. But looking at my own closet, I need to do something. I have 100 pairs of thongs. 55 bras. Some from when my boobs were 2 sizes smaller. I have pants and dresses that are simply no longer part of my everyday life. If I have somewhere special to go, I will usually buy something new and trendy to wear. Cosmetic bags, hand creams, old receipts, magazines, extra extra guest towels. Why keep all that stuff? PURGE I say!! So today, I will clean out the old, get rid of the old, recycle the old. And maybe some of that old will seem new again.
