Closet Blogging

I went to clean my closet and the ants... had completely disappeared. That's what I hate about these kinds of ants. They appear... and disappear.

And who in the hell knows why? Not me.

Anyway, I had set out to clean out my closet and I came to some realizations.

First, if I were to build a house again, I'd put an electrical outlet in my closet. It makes it easier to vacuum during that once every 10 year deep closet vacuuming.

Second, I own A LOT of black sweaters and I love every one of them. All of them. In particular the one my Mom just got me for Christmas. I will never get rid of any of them. I have to tell my husband, when I die, I am to be cremated wearing one of my black sweaters.

Third, I still refuse to get rid of my three sweaters from the 80s. Outback Red Rules. (Had to throw that in there for Morrigan.)

Fourth, I can't get rid of my sweatshirts from college. I'm coming up on 20 years and I can't get rid of them. I am hoping my eldest will want my gray hooded "Property of Alcatraz" sweatshirt. But all the others? I just... can't.

Fifth, for someone who lives in Florida, I own WAY too many sweaters and sweatshirts. I need to fix that. By moving.

Sixth, I don't see myself ever parting with that damn dress I wore for our rehearsal dinner. Not like I could ever fit in it again. My body is very... box like now. I'm short. When I had kids... I lost my waist. Oh and I have a tummy. So, tight black wool dress stays in the closet. I love that dress... even if I could never wear it again, even if I got down to my high school weight.

Seventh, I still can't get rid of two pairs of pre-pregnancy pants. I just... can't. I so want to fit into them again... GRRR.

That's it for this year's closet blogging. Come back next year when I tell you... "I still refuse to get rid of those sweaters from the 80s".

I have a couple Outback Red items that I have hung onto. Never heard of the rules, but I am guessing...

You could take them out of your closet and tuck them away somewhere. Outback Red...*sigh*

It is nice to have an outlet in your closet. I do my ironing in there....when I iron.

Bou, you must never get rid of those college sweatshirts. Ever.
Because if you do, they will somehow end up in the possession of one of my in-laws, and they will give them to me for Christmas.

But do you still have the 80's leg warmers?

BTW, I still have a pair of parachute pants...lol
