Today is my hubby's 32nd birthday. Looks tired doesn't he? Don't let him fool ya, he did it up right with 18 holes of golf with his dad and Allen:) I made him the ugliest/yummiest carrot cake (his and my fav). OK, so you all know my struggle with laundry-really it stems from not having enough space for my collection of clothes, really I promise it does...:) It's not like I have all these GREAT clothes--I just have a big problem getting rid of any. I have the I might wear that someday-syndrome. So here was my crazy idea. I told Brian today that I was going to put ALL of my clothes and I mean ALL of them on the darn driveway and sort them out once and for all. He thought I was nuts, but also would love for me to get a handle on it so he helped me -on his birthday- mind you...before the golf:) take ALL of my clothes down to the driveway, where I proceeded to sort through the years of unworn clothes while the girls napped. People were driving by looking at me like I was nuts, and the (nosy anyway) neighbors looked out their window more than once to check out what I was up to. It was amazing to me how many clothes I've saved for no reason. I came up with 4 garbage bags FULL of clothes going to Goodwill tomorrow. I did however keep every one of my 15 brown shirts. That's right-I'm not ashamed!:)
Pictures of the mess!
Next is shoes....

Happy Birthday, Brian!!! I'm happy to see that you had a fun day!
The carrot cake sounds yummy!
All those years of trips to the mall in four bags?!! ;) I wonder if those bins went too ;)
Happy to hear that you have it under control... :) The shoes you definitely 'might' wear again though.
LOL, you are so funny! If I was one of your neighbors, I'd be peeking out the window too! What a good way to spend some time outside in the beautiful weather though!
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this laundry problem...I've settled with the idea that I will never catch up (until I have a closet 3 times bigger, anyways.) I also have the "I might wear it someday" syndrome. I think more than once, I've said, "well, maybe I could wear it for Halloween." Horrible.
Love this idea....maybe we could do this with toys....
so proud of you honey!! doesn't it feel good??
A walk in closet would feel GREAT!:)
