Most will be donated but some must be destroyed

As I eagerly await ( three more weeks!) the arrival of this baby I make lists.

As previously covered I am a mildly compulsive list maker. While the most of the lists are of the *things to get done before baby arrives* theme, today's list was an indulgence.

Today I ventured into *things to do after the baby is here*.

Exciting stuff like 1. Donate maternity clothes to local thrift store.

I started to look through the closet and think about specifics and I had an epiphany concerning my least favorite, most unattractive garment I own, my maternity panties. I will not be using them again. Since their purchase in 1998 (yes these underwear are indeed 13 years old) they have faithfully covered my very pregnant body in those last few months. I think they may need more of a send off than mere donation.

I am thinking something dramatic. Maybe hang them on the clothesline soaked in lighter fluid and lighting them at dusk. If the neighbors were not previously convinced of my craziness, I think that might seal the deal.
