Hoarding

As a counterpoint to the last posting, I am hoarding clothes.

Even though people tell me that clothes come quite affordably in China, I am hoarding.

Okay, "hoarding" may be a bit harsh. T-shirts and slacks are not dripping from the woodwork. We do have boxes of clothes destined for the GiveAway Party and then Goodwill.

I pulled out two large bins full of clothes this morning. The label said "Pre-Baby Clothes". These are the shirts and pants that haven't fit since before I got pregnant with L--. Rather than dumping the boxes directly in the give pile, I thought I'd try them on one more time.

Everything fit.

That's right.

Every skirt.
Every pair of jeans.
Every top.
Every set of slacks.
Every pair of shorts.

Everything fit. And looked good.

My wardrobe more than doubled in this one lovely morning.

And after a total of over 50 pounds lost, my diet is over.

Hallelujiah!
