Doing Hard Things
>> Saturday, January 31, 2009
I did a hard thing today...
I retired 2 of my oldest and dearest members of my hooded sweatshirt collection. The blue one was very pretty (I thought) and very chic. It got all stained real quick though (someday I will master the art of eating without dropping food all over myself) The Green (and my by far most beloved sweatshirt of all time) was a hand-me-down that I caught before mom could throw it away. Mom hated the beautiful thing and I LOVED it. I wore it faithfully for 3 years. First the zipper pull broke, so I used a safety pin. Then the thing I pinned the safety pin to broke so I used my finger. Then the zipper stopped zipping, thankfully while it was zipped up! Then the bottom of the zipper split...
I kept it on the porch for good luck for about 6 months... but the dreaded day came today. I threw it out, both of them.
DO HARD THINGS!

Why did you have to blog about that?? Elizabeth has been dropping hints about me getting rid of some jackets for the last two weeks, I have been acting like I don't know what she is talking about. But now that you put it in the "hard thing" slot......I guess I have to really think about. Bummer for me.

I am so proud of you honey! You are really growing up...;-)
I love you!

This post made my day (thus far)! I am normally not a "keeper" when it comes to things, but I have about 10 t-shirts that need to go. I haven't done it because, after all, you never know when you'll need 10 junk shirts! ;-) Since I have started buying more of my own clothes I am especially posessive.
Good for you Hillary. I have been trying to get rid of some clothes too.
Been good having your brothers here for a few days.
Hope all is well out your way!!
Blessings, Kimberly
I am soooo impressed! I can never seem to get rid of anything. So, if you ever need some old clothes, let me know.
I love you,
Grammy
