I was so productive recently i can't even stand it. I live in an incredible that is ENORMOUS in size with exception of the bedrooms and i have A LOT of stuff. Needless to say i have a lot of things to fit in a little room. This past week i have had enough. I moved my bedroom furniture around to be alittle more space conscious. That helped. Then i decided i needed to also clean out my closet and dressers. I had a VERY hard time deciding what to get rid of..but i knew i HAD to get rid of something. I made up some criteria.
Throw away/give to goodwill if:
- it has not been worn in over a year
- i realisitcally will not fit into it again
- there are holes in it
- If it belonged to someone else i would make fun of them
So given those criteria, i filled 5 garbage bags to the brim and another bag with 11 pairs of shoes. 'Funnily' enough the point of this post was not to discuss the amount of crap clothes i got rid of. It was supposed to be about the incredibely hard decision i had to make today.
I was faced with getting rid of some of my favorite funny t-shirts. It was time to say goodbye to the oldies and make room for some hilarious new ones that i have aquired.
So please.....a moment of silence for:
"Ewe's not fat, ewe's fluffy"
"Happiness is Lake Erie"
"Somebirdy loves you"
"Diet Coke; because i love it, not because i need it"
And some of the newbies I have welcomed:
"in case of an emergency, breakdance"
"Sublimi'mawesomeinal"
"Haikus are easy;sometimes the don't make sense;refridgerator"
"Let's hug it out"
Soooo there you have it...change is good right? right. Tomorrow i will say my final goodbye when i drop everything off at the Goodwill. So if you see someone around with a worn green shirt that says "Happiness is Lake Erie" think of me...and if your ballsy ask them where they got it. :)

I need that Breakdance t-shirt!!!
not "ewe's fluffy"!!! i might have cried when i heard that. and the Diet Coke shirt . . . these are classic Katie shirts. *sigh*
Although the Haiku shirt ... i heard someone real cool gave that to you :)
I'm taking the guidelines into serious consideration especially since I don't have a job and tucked into the side of Sam's closet, where the door doesn't open, live my professional clothes...from before he was born.
