shopping, purging, and missing my friend

So after eight and a half hours of shopping, daughter feels like shes hit the lottery, and I'm grateful that she feels that way. I also feel tired!
It was a fun day.
But I'm glad it's over!

I just threw away all of my underwear and socks. My drawer was stuffed. I could barely open it it was so full. I kept two pair of underwear. They were expensive and barely worn so I kept them. I kept a pair of black, brown, tan and blue socks......................but most of my socks are white socks I wear with my work scrubs. I had about a hundred pair.... I had to search every morning through an over stuffed drawer to find mates............... I was tired of it. So I trashed them all........and then I kept 7 pair of my best undies to use for "that time of the month." I threw the remaining 50 or more pairs away & bought all new undies and socks. Now I can get inot my drawer without the drawer getting stuck, and with out crap falling out.............and all of my socks have a mate!

I've been thinking a lot about my friend Chuck lately. He passed away in May. One time he made me a tape with a mix of songs. One of the songs he put on it was a Madonna song. The other day at work one of the housekeepers had a radio playing and that Madonna song came on........it reminded me of the tape Chuck had made for me, and I've been thinking about Chuck ever since. Today I was thinking about him and I could hear him say "I'm dead girl....get over it!" It made me laugh. I know it's what he would say. I just have this feeling that wherever he is, he's happy. I can just feel it. And that makes me feel better. I wish I could give him a kiss and a hug one more time
