Oh my, I started on the large closet in the bedroom today. I have been putting it off because I didn't want to make decisions. The biggest one: how many sweatshirts do I need? Is two enough, or three? If so, which ones do I give away? The one that was given to me by the North Dakota Rural Health Association when I spoke there? It's got a real neat pheasant on the front... How about the one from New Mexico with the kokopelli? Or the one from Alaska? Oh, and there's the appliqued one I bought at the shellfish festival in Florida when I got chilly. And the one that has the jeweled motorhome on the back? Or the turquoise one that zips at the neck?
I did manage to pack up a couple of dressier outfits that I have never worn since I retired. I really think that if I ever have to go somewhere that sort of outfit will be required, I'd rather go shopping. I also set aside a few Coldwater Creek jackets for Daughter Dawn to check out to see if they might be suitable for her job. Other than that, I managed to fill another bag of donations. I got rather tough with myself -- if I can't say I've worn it in the last three years, I wouldn't keep it.
I took one of the new center cut boneless pork chops out of the freezer this noon. By four o'clock, I was able to slice it into thin strips to marinate for stir-fry tonight. I added celery, onions, peppers and snap peas and served it over rice. Delicious!
