I’m going to a wedding on Saturday so I decided to check my closet to see if the dress I want to wear still fits me. I’m happy to say that it does – as long as I hold my stomach in all night and don’t eat. I could have been done, but before I could say, “Sal, you’ll never be a size 8 (or even a 10) again,” I found myself trying on everything in my closet and cleaning out the whole mess.

Does that ever happen to you? Maybe you decide to clean out your silverware drawer, and the next thing you know you’ve taken the stove apart and are scrubbing the pans under the burners or dusting under the refrigerator. 

I guess it’s a good thing that happens or a lot less cleaning would get done – at least at my house. So now I’m happy that my closet is clean and happy that I have four bags full of clothes for Goodwill. If I can just lose 10 pounds by Saturday, life will be perfect.
