Face Book pulled up a memory from seven years ago.  I am sharing.  Sorry to say, there are no clippies on the floor now.  Too much gaining, not enough losing.

**************

Report time, I have great ambitious early mornings! At six o’clock a.m., I was cleaning the floor of my closet, that’s the area that catches the throw away stuff, the give aways, lots of walmart bags, a few Dilliard’s bags, the four inch strips I have cut off too-long dresses, shoes not decent to be seen but much too comfortable to get rid of, along with receipts and a couple years of clippies.

What’s a clippie? That’s the tags I clip from clothes that show whether they are washable, where they are made, size—that kind of information you need to keep. I have come to a shrewd, maybe even original, conclusion. Ready? A woman is much more likely to keep clippies if she is losing weight than if she is gaining! Oh, how nice to go from 24-22-20-18-16-14! I put them in a trash sack but I think I’ll go get them and organize them for a nice photo album!

Now how do I know they are evidence of coming down in size since I would have the same sizes on the way up? Because I quickly rid myself of all printed evidence on the way up! Sort of one of the “like a man looks at himself in a mirror…and goes away and forgets what he looks like,” situations, and I don’t need a clippie to remind me!
