It’s January 1st, you know what that means…

…no, no, no I’m not talking about the gym.  It’s time to turn those hangers around!  “Huh?” you say?  Yes, every January 1st (minus last year, since I was very much pregnant and not wearing any of my non-maternity clothing) I burst into my closet with a sense of urgency and flip all of my hangers to hang backwards.  I’m not sure why this excites me so much, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I can prove to my husband that I really do need all of the clothes in my closet.  Here’s the rundown, January 1st: turn those hangers around and when you wear an item of clothing, wash it and hang it up the correct way.  Next January 1st you will be able to see which items haven’t been worn in an entire year and those can be donated.  You will be shocked at how many are still backwards a year later, I promise.  Now, GO!
