Inventory.

I think it's arguable that I am still a pack rat though. My apartment is filled with stuff. I used to consider myself a pack rat. Anything and everything I kept whether it had meaning behind it or not. Then one day I was going through a box of crap and I realized I didn't even think about the stuff. I started to get rid of it and I haven't regretted it since. I don't consider myself a pack rat because I can throw things away if I take the time to look at them. So, I think I'm more lazy now than a pack rat. A pack rat saves onto things because he or she will probably use them. I just stash things into a box until I can get to it. Or, (I think i've mentioned this before) if it's a piece of mail or something with my name on it, I promptly stash it in a box labeled "Shred." ... I don't own a shredder...

Anyway, it all comes down to this. I was feeling restless this morning so instead of plopping on the couch for an afternoon full of non-stop knitting I decided to do laundry. I don't do laundry often, because every time I do laundry (and I mean every time) I end up going through all of my clothes. I can honestly say that this time, I did not find a single shirt that I said, 'Hey, I don't remember you." This is a very good thing. I did, however, find a lot of clothing that I will never wear again so I threw them in a huge bag and I plan on giving them to Goodwill. (Just a tip though, if you are going to give away clothing, separate clothing that is wearable read: no stains, holes, or dirty and pure trash. They don't sew up holes. They don't take out stains. They'll wash them, but give them a break. Don't make trash and give away clothes the same pile!) Now I have a clean closet and I itemized each piece of clothing.

The bad news is, I am screwed as far as shirts to wear to the new job. I went out and bought three pairs of dress pants (I had 0, I've been living in jeans for over a year...) and a cardi. I ordered online two dress shirts and two sweaters (I could have knit grumble grumble). Once that shipment comes in I should be okay, but I'm slightly holding my breath. I am a size 16 in shirts and I rarely find one that fits... Also... my pants are at the tailors until Thursday... Skirts it is!



P.S. Just a sneak peek of what will be listed. After an hour of messing with swift, meter, baller, and Josephine-y, I only have one ready skein of alpaca. Besides, I have a big surprise for everyone regarding the store, so I beg just wait a little longer!
