The good thing about the heavy winds we have had for the past 24 hours is that I no longer have to rake my front lawn. The not so good thing is that we have to call someone to remove the uprooted tree in our backyard. This morning I packed/organized for a few hours before going to the gym and "riding" the elliptical for an hour. On the way back home I dropped off NINE garbage bags full of clothing/shoes that we no longer need/wear in a clothing donation dumpster. The label on the dumpster said the clothes will go to support the Colorado sled hockey team (kids with disabilities playing hockey on sleds). I have to wonder WHY in the WORLD we've been toting around NINE bags worth of extra clothing that we never wear or need??? These are clothes and shoes we've owned for YEARS and have probably followed us through three to five moves, yet for some reason we've hung onto them. It takes moving into a house with very little closet space and no space in the master bedroom for a dresser to finally snap us into the "shed" mindset. It sure feels good to have a much more manageable amount of clothing lined up in my closet though! Now back to packing.....
