We spent the majority of the morning cleaning out my closet & sorting clothes that I don't wear anymore. I believe that if there's an article of clothing in your closet that you haven't reached for in 4 months, chances are.. you're never going to reach for it in the next 4 months. Get rid of it! First step to having a happy lifestyle is un-cluttering your life, even if it means YOUR CLOSET!
With that being said, I gathered up a giant bag full of designer jeans, blouses & a few dresses that was just sitting in my closet. Sad part is, half of those things still had price tags on them. I figured, if I hadn't worn it already.. what are the chances that I will wear them in the future? Not very likely.
We took the bag of clothes to a "Closet's Trends" & "Plato's Closet" (stores that sell/buy gently used clothes) and got $75 all together. Awesome! Usually, I just donate my old clothes to church but never thought about selling them before. It's a great idea. Plus, I can use the extra cash right now for Christmas shopping.
We went back home and he decided to cook us lunch. While he was in the kitchen preparing filet mignon wrapped in bacon with mashed potatoes, I was in the living room playing with Alexander Snicker-doodle. He's a little toy poodle that can fit into my purse. (Sidenote: It's his grandma's dog but I plan on stealing it one of these days. It's just entirely way too cute & I have fallen in love with it about 2 weeks ago.)
Lunch was scrumptious. I had a glass of wine with my steak and since no one was home, we had a chance to talk. I wasn't expecting to share so much personal detail about my family but it just kinda happened. There's very few people that I can talk to about my dysfunctional family because it's a sensitive subject for me.
After lunch, we wanted to go see a movie. However, on the way to the movie theatre.. we got a little distracted. We ended up going to the Vietnamese's supermarket to get Vietnamese coffees, a Colombian's pastry shop to get guava pastries & then to a French's bakery to get creme brulee.
To think that after that gigantic lunch, I wouldn't have any room for dessert & coffee. But no, I always have room for sweets. Lol, I'm still full just thinking about the amount of food we ate this afternoon.
He eventually dropped me off at home so he could get to work. I hung out with my little sister for a little bit and then Isa & Jeanne stopped by. They brought my early Christmas present. It's this beautiful sterling silver ring that fits perfectly on my finger. I love big cocktail rings but I have really tiny fingers so it's hard for me to find rings that fits. However, this ring fits beautiful and quite flattering too! :)
Overall, it's been a great day. Let's just hope this continues onto the night as well.
