I cleaned out my closet today for the first time in at least a year. (I know…ew.) In the end, I had FIVE TRASH BAGS full of clothes, shoes, belts, purses, etc. that I plan to drop off at the Salvation Army tomorrow. I couldn’t believe it. Little Miss Live Simply is eating humble pie, and planning to practice what she preaches before climbing back on the soapbox.

How and when did I get all this stuff? I don’t remember planning to accumulate a bunch of crap that I never wear or use…it just kinda happened. Surplus, dude. It’s a trip. Which got me to thinking about supply-side economics. I know, I know…we’ve got some hardcore Reagan fanboys that hang around here, so I won’t get into my full-on “that sh*t just doesn’t work” monologue. But, man…if my closet is any indication (and I submit that it is), those of us with a surplus profoundly suck at letting it trickle down. And I am most definitely not buying clothes with my next tax cut.
