Clearinghouse, The Series

Purge list:
  • t-shirt drawer
  • cami drawer
  • work out drawer
  • pajama drawer
  • underwear drawer & bra/swim drawer
  • sock drawer
  • junk drawer
Pajama drawer.

Ooh, I have reached the half way point of clearing out my dresser. [Pause for celebratory dance.] At the rate I have been purging I may no longer need my dresser. [Ooh, ooh. Throwing hands in the air.] How do you like that Santa Suit on the right? Pretty sexy, huh? Especially when layered with those Cuddl Duds. Smokin! Well not quite, but at least I stay warm in the winter. For those of you who have no clue what Cuddl Duds are, consider yourself lucky.

Taking Stock:
Contents = 23 pieces

Actual pairs of pajamas - five. Seems to be a lot of extra crap in this drawer. Now, why I have swim shorts and long underwear in the same drawer? They are both seasonal I guess. As for why they are in my pajama drawer? Like I said it gets damn cold in Wisconsin and I am very stingy with the heat. Come December I will be living in those long underwear! However, I have no justification for why there are swim shorts in my pajama drawer. No I do not own a waterbed.

I am keeping four of the tops and two of the bottoms. The long underwear will be relocated to winter storage for about another month when I will begrudgingly rotate seasonal clothing. The one swim bottom I decided to keep will relocate to the swim drawer, where it should have been in the first place. I added three bottoms from my work out drawer, because half of the pajama pants I have are worn so thin they are damn near transparent. Completely embarrassing the chitlins. And myself, when I happen to still be in them when the UPS man shows up. *turning as red as my Santa Suit* So I still have five PJ options. Eleven pieces are destined to be repurposed or sold/donated.

From 23 pieces to 9. Not too shabby. This week's weight loss = 4 pounds. Whole lotta keeping going on. Lord, I love the Long Johns! Plus, see through pajama pants don't weigh very much.

Running Total = 22 pounds of clothing removed.
