I Rock!

If I do say so myself.

After posting, I decided to bite the bullet and clean out my closet. I don't have a lot of clothes, plus I have a small closet, so it doesn't take that long.

I have 40 free hangers, not counting too-big clothes that are in the dirty clothes and two bags ready for donation. One bag to be cut up for rags. I'll probably have two more bags for donation when I get my laundry done.

As I was organizing, I looked to the floor. There were three suspicious white garbage bags neatly stacked in the back. I had forgotten about them. I pulled them out, and it was like Christmas in August.

Found:

4 size 1X winter shirts. All seven years old, but classic enough to be worn now. I bought these new when I had lost my 70 pounds before.

1 size 1X bathrobe--it FITS!!!!

1 size 20 jeans--can wear NOW!

5 pair capris that I can wear NOW!! (two size 18, one size 1X and two size 20)

2 size 18 shorts--can get them on, but they're snug--future exercise clothes!

3 size 18 capris--can get them on, but snug. May be able to wear them in September. If not, I'm out of luck--I am in Minnesota, land of no more capris after September.

3 size 18 jeans--too snug for now, but this fall! Woot!

2 size 16 jeans--they look so small! I was wearing these when I lost weight before--this was the size I got to.

I am so psyched! Granted it is all seven-year-old stuff, but perfect for around the house. I can still buy a couple of "going out" outfits. I bought all this stuff new the last go round. I remember I bought other things from thrift stores, but I didn't keep that stuff.

What's that passage, give and ye shall receive? I made the decision to bag up for donation, and ta-da, I found a gift I left for myself seven years ago that I had long forgotten about.

The tightwad in me is very excited!
