Yesterday was a busy work and housekeeping day.  So when Emme’s afternoon nap rolled around, my Preptember motivation was half passed nil.

But I made myself go upstairs and get to work.   I cleaned Dan’s bachelor era microwave and lugged it downstairs.  Today, he delivered it to a friend of ours needing a nuker.

Then, I tackled a massive Sterlite of clothes I’d been saving for awhile.  These were clothes that I wanted to keep.   After going through them, I have no freakin’ idea what I’d been thinking.  A burgundy velour tank with lace trim?  Pale pink cords?   Why did the salespeople let me buy these things!?!

When I saw a $158.00 tag on a maroon velour blazer I’d never worn, I just about flatlined…. until I saw the reverse side with the $29.99 price tag.  While there’s no excuse for buying something that says “Let me sell you a house!” I do feel slightly better that I hadn’t totally jumped the shark.

From this bin, I filled 3 large shopping bags for Goodwill.  I figure I should donate them soon, because I know people  will be looking for clothing just like this.

After all, Halloween is coming up.
