Who knew? I have spent many a lunch hour whipping through your store's racks, looking for that perfect blouse, pair of jeans, winter jacket, kids sizes etc. Now in my early 40``S, I can honestly say I`m a pro at it.... have it down to a science....
Get in, peruse at hyper speed, seeing everything, missing nothing. Sometimes I was known to get in and out in as little as 15 minutes, round store trip.
Well all that hard work and training has not gone by the wayside. Tonight, I pulled (what I now affectionately call) my ``winner`s rounds``. Yup....you are dying to know what I mean by that phrase ``winner`s rounds``...I know you are.
In a nutshell, I head into Marjorie`s closet. Its a large closet, housing a decent amount of clothing for a 79 yr old woman with dementia. There is no law stating that just because you are losing you mind, you must also lose your fashion sense. Back to the closet... I peruse, through all the pants, the sweaters, the blouses aaaand BINGO! There it is, a pair of panties with a depends still stuck to them. Hidden under a cami and a pyjama shirt. I throw it to the floor and continue..... OOH... here we go, we have the purse. (OK, the purse is just an entire blog entry of it`s own... coming soon). And finally, multiple pairs of my husbands underpants, all neatly hung over the hanger, but in a bunch, and camouflaged by a yoga jacket. Marjorie hides his undies all the time. She thinks they are Dad`s, and you cannot tell her otherwise.
So tonight`s ``Winner`s rounds`` paid of in spades. My husband knows I am writing about this in my blog tonight. Secretly, I think he`s now thankful for all those trips I made to Winners. Now that he has a full drawer of undies. :)
