Sometimes In April
Ahh... today I have been spring cleaning, and all that jazz. Almost everything I own, clothing-wise (including every pair of underwear excluding the pair I have on... though you know what pair I have on, if you really know me... anyway, what was I saying?) is dirty - so it was about time. Since I will be moving into my own place, for real this time, and taking all of my stuff out of my grandmother's house, I am trying to consolidate my belongings and get rid of things I don't really need or want anymore.
It's hard!
Why am I such a pack rat? I am attempting to be heartless, but even with clothing it is difficult for me to forsake a shirt that has memories attached - even when I haven't worn it since seventh grade. For example, my matchbox twenty track jacket that I haven't worn in four years - well my mother bought it for me when we went to my first concert ... and it was seventy dollars (outrageous! especially considering we were on food stamps at the time... but she knew how much it meant to me)... How do you give something like that to the DAV?
Anyway, I had to come to work at 3 so I am taking a break and will attempt to resume cleaning when I return home. Sometimes it helps to look at things with fresh eyes.
Anyone want a pink sweatshirt with my picture on it?
No?
