New Year's Resolution

Yes, I've gone insane again. With no real reason other than to prove that I can do it, I've decided to forego buying new clothes and shoes for the next 3 MONTHS! Well, there is a reason...Scott has lost his job and we have to cut spending.

Kidding...although that was close to reality not too long ago. To make a short story long, I found that as I was buying new clothes (insert "shoes" for "clothes" when applicable), and did not have closet space to hold them. So I had 3 options - 1) Tear down walls to make the closet bigger (it was tiny to begin with), 2) Move to a new house with a bigger closet, 3) Stop buying clothes. Some of you may think Option 4 is to throw away older clothes - I say to you..."you may stop thinking now".

Well, Scott laughed (or rather, scoffed) at Option 1 (very rude, really). Our economic state was enough to dismiss Option 2. So I was left with Option 3.

Yes, even though this may not help the economy, I feel it is my Schiegg duty to help out the household. So if you know what's good for you, you may want to stay away from me for the next 3 months...unless you're going to buy me some new clothes!

I totally believe you can do it. And April 1st, I'm sending Jenny over to do some (more) shopping in your closet where I have a feeling you'll be slashing prices to make room for new inventory.
