Hand-me-downs

Well, I did manage to get through some of the clothes I needed too ( no laundry washed or dried though - that's now on the list for today ) - I mean the clothes I have accumulated over the years. - You know the ones...the high school sweatshirt with the schools mascot, or that special concert t-shirt, that you can't fit in anymore, but just can't part with, ( you know the ones ), , hand-me downs, that have been handed down to you, etc. - I have SOOOO many clothes now, between my Mom, my Mom's friend, my friend, my Aunt who passed away several years ago now, and pieces I've "inherited", as well as ones she gave me while living, - Things of my Dad's since he passed, and alot of my own junk, -er.. I mean clothes ;) LOTS to go through...and yes, I am sentimental, and also a confirmed pack-rat.

...Went through quite alot of it last night, ( that's what's in the upstairs bedroom that I needed to get straitened up for my soon to be house guests ), and was able to get one and half trashbags ( I have clear ones instead of putting them in actual white kitchen bags, although they work too ), for giving to my cousin, who has lost alot of weight and really needs some clothes that fit better now. - and what isn't used I'll be giving to either the local women's shelter, or the Salvation Army.

I have to admit, some of the peices I gave away, I really do like still - but - I know mama ain't gonna fit in those tiny sizes ever again! ...yeah, yeah, I'm like most women and I am loosing some wieght that I have gained over the years, ( and I actually have! ), but I KNOW I'll never be the size I was when I got married at 25. Ahhh those were the days - How come we never apprieciate how good we look at the time? - oh well - ( just being realistic ) - a new day, a new size, a new start with giving some loved peices to others who really do need them ....makes it easier ;)
