money
It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. I am on a mission this year to declutter and to get rid of stuff and I continue to do a little every week because I believe that it is better to do something instead of nothing. As I get rid of stuff that we don’t use anymore and reorganize I am finding that I have more room in closets and drawers. For now I am just going to admire the empty space and maybe put a few things away that I never really had a place for before.
This week I have been working on one closet. I have not had a lot of time and the closet is huge but I keep plugging away. I have discovered that the closet has a floor. Honestly I had no idea. As I go through cloths that I stopped wearing two decades ago but hung onto just in case, I am finding some treasures. I plan to keep a couple of the flowered skirts but my friends are telling me that it is unlikely that shoulder pads will ever make a come back so it is with great sadness that I send what is now “vintage” clothing to the St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop on West 7th street I hope someone can use it for something.
The money in the picture was I found in the closet and I am going to use it to buy a lottery tickets. The drawing is tomorrow so if you don’t see anymore blog posts you will know it is because I won the lottery and am in some undisclosed but warmer location and am busy trying to decide if I want to go swimming again or if I should order another drink.
What do you have in your closets?

40s, 80s — shoulder pads will be back but they’re not due for a bit (2020?).
that is a heck of a long time to hang onto outfits with shoulder pads in them and if the skirt lengths and fabric styles don’t come back in style then what?
