Tonight we needed to take a break from the linen closet because the shelf liner wont get here until tomorrow. So tonight I moved onto my next basement project......clearing out the armoire so that guests have a place to hang and put stuff when they come.
So I started around 7:45pm tonight. I went into it really strong, I was planning on basically getting rid of everything because I did not think most of it fit me and I was standing by my two year rule. So at first it went well...and a lot of stuff made it in the "give away" bag (Cheryl there is a lot of stuff that would be great for you for work) then I started getting to some things that really were much harder to give away. I started to kind of go back to where I was when I got these things, and sometimes it was good and sometimes it was a little painful. Anything that survived to get this far had sentimental meaning and I tried really hard to not let it get to me. But it did....a little. I think I did alright. I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that three skirts that I was ready to say good bye to fit me! I was actually surprised....I thought these were two babies ago....however they fit! So those got to come up to my closet. I brought up a sweatshirt that I always found super cozy and a really pretty silk shirt. Otherwise all that was left in the closet are two coats that are my Moms (Mom- the brown Searel and the green silk rain coat!) two black tie dresses....I mean I will use those but they cant go in my closet! the shirt I had on when I met Daniel, a skirt my Dad got me on our last trip together, and one skirt that I kept for stupid sentimental reasons. However for that last one, I felt I was aloud one reasonless sentimental skirt. Now the closet has lost of room for guests and Cheryl will get some cute shirts!
This might not have been the most compelling post...but it all got done!
Tomorrow.......line the shelves!
