Preciousssss Pj's

The clothes fast is over.

I actually held off on changing clothes until just now, even though it actually ended at 1pm today. It was kind of hard to hold off because I SO wanted a clean shirt, but there wasn't time for me to change, and I wanted to get a picture when I actually did. I actually woke up this morning thinking- I might just end the fast a couple hours early. What was the point? I have learned and a lot, and I got the point, right? What's a couple of hours? I was lying in bed day dreaming about a clean shirt while hubby was getting ready to leave for work. When he came in to kiss me goodbye, he said, "You made it babe! Only 6 hours to go! Great job!". Oh. Okay. Guess I'll do the other 6 hours.

So, I have just put on a clean pair of pajamas for the first time in 7 days. I hope I never say that sentence again. LOL. I have to say that when I opened my pajama drawer I sort of gasped to realize how many pair I actually HAVE. I'm actually not sure I've got the point completely because when I walked into my closet, I muttered, "Myyyyy precioussssss." Um Yeah. I did.

I do feel pretty good walking into my closet when I realize how much I've paired down from before. Ballpark- I have paired down to about 6-7 of each item- long sleeve shirts, short sleeve, tank tops, cardigans, clothes I hope to get back into. It's still a lot, but WAY less than I had. Which means, someone, somewhere has a few new outfits to help them transition.

So, here's the quick rundown. Here's what I wore this week:



Guess what? That's 14 pieces of clothes, 3 bras, 4 pair of shoes (which I actually could have gotten by with 2, but hey), 2 pair of socks,and the full load of unmentionables (not shown for all of our sakes). I should mention that the pink shirt was only worn twice and the dress, and Rangers shirt, once. Sooooo, you do the math. And after doing yard work in my only pair of jeans and Rangers tshirt on Saturday, I should tell you that those two pieces were immediately retired to the laundry bag because they were beyond help.

Here's what I did NOT use from the bag:



Ummm, yeah. The workout clothes. Not so necessary when you really think about it. Getting sweaty was not at the top of my priority list this week, as always. But especially when it's a HUGE pain in the butt to wait on your hair to dry.

So, we're done with clothes for now. I'm sure I'll be pairing down even more. Especially after gasping at my pj and excessive collection of bras.

Next up, possessions. Aren't they the same thing?!?!?!?! Stay tuned...
