Today, I'm feeling. . .

. . . a bit like these guys. (images from Cute Overload)

Well, today has been busy and very productive. It has also been both depressing and inspiring. I slept in and then started cleaning things out. I started with the cabinets in the bathroom and then moved into the laundry room, guest room, front room, kitchen, and, finally, the master bedroom. I was both glad and distressed to find that the vast majority of my clothes no longer fit. After cleaning out all the closets and cabinets, this is all the clothes that I have left:

Seriously. That's all.

Here is the "spare" closet in the guest room (it contained 3 coats when I took this picture).

The closet upstairs it totally devoid of clothes. In total, I only have a couple of dresses, a couple pairs of jeans, a couple pairs of dress pants, a couple skirts, a couple of suits and a hand full of shirts left. I did keep a few souvenir shirts that I boxed up, but I have 4 trash bags and a stack of suits to take to Goodwill next week. Some of the pieces I got rid of were painful to part with - especially my red suit. Frankly, it was too big when I bought it, but I have worn it for special events for years.

Aside from the handful of clothing, I am also left with these:

Now comes the REALLY painful part. . . buying some new clothes. I'm not going to jump right in because I'm still losing weight - nearly 70 pounds so far! - but, I'm still going to need a few things. Especially sweaters - I kept a couple that are a little too big, but they are Christmas sweaters, so they had to stay!
