I am just irritated with myself.

I have been purging for years with a specific focus on purging my clothing, shoes, purses, etc.
Last year right before the Reunion when Juney was here, I did another huge purge and let go of a bunch of clothing that I really loved but either couldn't wear, would never wear again, or had never worn. It felt good!

Well, suffice it to say that I am now in the guest room in that biggo closet again because I need to completely empty it so Jack and I can work on the room tomorrow painting and laying new floor.
Carrying armload after armload of ballgowns, cocktail dresses, fancy purses, etc has made me realize that I am STILL hanging on to way too much stuff. Already making a pile of stuff to give away at this year's swap and still need to go through my jewelry and purses.

I don't even own 1/5th of what I used to own. Before I moved to California, I had amassed 4 5 walk-in closets chock full of stuff. None of it was worth much because I tend to shop at thrift stores and yard sales but it took me WEEKS to go through all of it and pack what I saved.
When I arrived in Cali, I purged again and had many of those "why did I bring this with me" moments.
Before we left Cali, I knew that space would be at a premium on the moving truck so I did the biggest purge of all and let go of over half of my clothes.
It still wasn't enough.

I hope I don't have a pair of jeans and a raincoat left by the end of the day because I'm in the mood to SUPER PURGE!
