Labor Day Weekend...

Quote for the Day:

Happy Labor Day to my USA readers...and Happy Birthday to my son Paul and his wife, Trinity! 

Yep...you read that right.  My son and daughter-in-law share the same birthday!  :)   Makes it real easy to remember!  LOL

The Labor Day weekend is a 3-day weekend here in the USA...the last hurrah of the summer.  We planned to have a yard sale all three days, but it looks like we might get rained out for Monday.  But so far, Saturday and Sunday have been fruitful and we have gotten rid of a lot of things.  YAY!!!  


This evening I decided to go through a closet that has been so overstuffed that the door wouldn't completely close.  :(  This closet is in my quilting room (used to be Erin's bedroom) and is where I store my out-of-season clothes.  Unfortunately, it also holds all the clothes that I can no longer wear due to weight fluctuations.  I know that it is not useful to hold onto clothes that I can no longer wear because even if I ever do lose the weight and get back into them, most likely they will no longer be fashionable.  :(
So...I decided to attack the closet today...

before...

I ended up with 3 large garbage bags of clothes to donate to the local thrift store...

I emptied all of these hangers...

And this is what the closet looks like now...

The door completely closes now!!!  YIPPEE!! 


This afternoon I also went and did my couponing at Walgreen's and Rite Aid.

From Walgreen's...

I got $31.43 worth of product, paid $8.42 out-of-pocket, got $14.50 back in Register Rewards, making this trip a $6.08 moneymaker for me! 

From Rite Aid...

I got $13.52 worth in product, paid $2.22 out-of-pocket, got $4.00 back in +Up Rewards, making this trip a $1.78 moneymaker for me! 

I hope that everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend...at least, what is left of it!  :)
