I cleaned the kitchen, cleaned out the fridge (which seems to always have modly cheese in it), cleaned the bathroom, opened EVERY window in my house and watched the hair\/dust balls roll around like tumbleweeds. Even though I had just swept. This has made me realize I need to buy a vacuum. Stat.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I also cleaned out my closet this weekend. J and C helped, and I must say we were very successful. Most of the time I had to be CONVINCED to KEEP things. I know that K and SS will not believe this, but it is true.<\/p>\n<p>The result? 2 garbage bags full of donation clothes. Including:<\/p>\n<p>1. That ugly pink\/white shirt (long sleeves) that fades from thread-bare to pink that K and SS both hated more than life;<\/p>\n<p>2. Every pair of pants I was saving to fit into when I magically lose all the weight I&#8217;ve gained since I was 14;<\/p>\n<p>3. Most of the t-shirts I owned from concerts that simply weren&#8217;t fitting. Sorry, Lifehouse and 3eb. I tried. Make bigger shirts;<\/p>\n<p>4. That skirt that was every color under the sun (kind of plaid?) that I wore probably twice that SS and K also thought was weird;<\/p>\n<p>5. Any t-shirt I haven&#8217;t wore in the past month;<\/p>\n<p>6. Most of my pajamas except the ones that I also wear for yoga.<\/p>\n<p>What did it not include? My Verve Pipe T-shirt (sorry K and SS, but I wanted it) and my Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s t-shirt from Rhode Island I got when I was 13. Some things are meant to keep.<\/p>\n<p>I feel better, but now I have no shorts for summer, and basically no clothes. And, before we even started, C and J both said, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe these are all the clothes you have.&#8221; So there, girls from the East, see? I am out of clothes! I don&#8217;t have any! I swear!!<\/p>\n<p>Next stop? Shopping with a group of ladies that know I am only allowed to buy practical items. We&#8217;ll see how it goes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend, I did a little spring cleaning.
