"WINNERS" (the chain store) provided years of free training for me.....

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.   :)
