shopping and closet/dresser cleaning

so after work i decided to go get a few things. i stopped at the house, changed my clothes and headed out.

btw, nice thing about the new job is "after work" means around 5:00 p.m.

i headed to kohl's cause i saw their flyer in sunday's paper and decided i should swing by.

i went to the one at westgate mall. well, it was the westgate mall, not it's overturned concrete and a sign saying they'll open in '07 iwth 60 new stores. no shit they'll be new stores, there are no fucking stores at all now, cept kohl's, whichis where i went.

in my mind was the mission of a couple new shirts, and low! the discount rack had 'em at $7.00, not bad! then i saw some slacks (slacks is a great word) and thought i could use a new pair.

those that know me know i like to thrift shop. that being said, it justifies the comment Gomezfive made when he helped me move, somehting about me BEING the thrift store what with all the clothes i have (had). albeit second hand clothes.


need an alkeyhall refill, hold-on... outta pinot noir, gotta switch to bud light with a dash o morton's; good living...


after i found the 7 doller shirt rack, i spied me some pants (pants, also a fun word). i thought I oughtta try-em on, so i did. I am happy to report that i can fit into a size smaller now. so i grabbed me 2 pair o slacks (at a paultry 18.99 each!) then i thought about belts. most of my belts have been frayin and old so i got two belts, also on sale. then i thought about shoes and up the escalator i went to the sketchers lane. three pair later i wandered back down and grabbed me a pair of shorts. well of course i needed some new socks, so a i got a three pack.

i walk out $255 poorer, but i now own 3 new shirts, 2 new pants, 2 new belts, 2 pair shoes and 1 pair sandals, 1 pair shorts and 3 pair socks. thats 14 items at an average of $18 each, not bad. more than i woulda spent at unique thrift, but hey i got me some phat duds!

on the way home i stopped at big bird (aka Giant Eagle) and got me a $12 porter house steak and a $10 bottle of wine, pinot noir (thanks to Pheaton Pete, i now love pinot noir), cooked it up (the steak), and shazam, i'm a 'lil tipsy after downing the bottle.

well, i couldn't come home with allm them new threads and conciously shove em all into my closet and dresser; so i sorted some things out.

ok i purged, really...

i bagged four pair of shorts, two long sleeve t's, two sweat-shirts, a couple sweaters, two pair of jeans, a pair of cords, a pair of flannel pj pants, a pair of dress pants, 7 dress shirts (they were all funky in some way, but still, 7 SHIRTS!!), two ties, two suits (SUITS!!!), four pair of chinos, two pair of gaberdine slacks (i love the word slacks!) three belts, five t-shirts and a pair of shoes. I AM TOSSING A WHOLE FUCKING WARDROBE!! that just means i had too many clothes...

it felt good. it'll feel better when i shove the bagged shit in a goodwill thingy.

now it's after 10, and i'm tired. night all!!
