My short sleeve shirts are mad at me. I know what you are thinking, "Stephanie, shirts are inanimate objects -- they can't be *mad* at you, they can only be pissed off at you." But really, they are. I can tell. And so they should. I have ignored them for months. Maybe 6 months? They are feeling hurt and neglected. They can't understand what they did wrong. And I try to tell them, "it's not you, it's me" but it just sounds so hollow. Who ever *really* means that?? "The weather" is just an excuse. The relationship is different now. Strained. I just don't have the same affection for them right now. There are something else on my mind now - long sleeved shirts.

But here's my problem. I have a 4 BR house. Which means that I have 4 closets. Great, right? Except ALL FOUR CLOSETS have clothes in them. They *technically* aren't all "full" but they are definitely being used. Though in my defense, I almost never go into one of the closets, and the second one is more my winter non-work clothes. My sweatshirts. My turtlenecks (which I think I last wore when I went skiing a few years ago.) And I have one closet just full of t-shirts alone. ("My name is ***, and I have a problem.")

So I figured that I'd do a little spring cleaning. So I went through yesterday to see if I should toss anything. But I have attachment issues. This attempt just reminded of clothes that I haven't worn in years but have memories associated with, and I feel guilty for abandoning.

Then I went to look at my shoes. I have 46 pair of shoes. I can go through the rundown, but the fact is that I have 7 pair of Converse in varying colors (and no orange; my latest quest). But my biggest problem is clearly black shows. I have 15 pair of black shoes, plus one pair of black and grey shoes, plus one pair of black and white Mary Janes. But today, I couldn't find any black shoes that I wanted to wear. Not to "springy." Not a high heal. Not a flat. Not to formal; I was wearing black pants and a sweater. Obviously, I need to go shopping.

And for an unrelated query, does anyone else keep whipped cream at their house just for occasions when you need something sweet? I think perhaps I need help. I prefer the taste of Cool Whip, but I prefer the "whoorsh" sound as you eat Readi Whip.
