Planes and Clothes

About 2:45 yesterday we headed off on a "mini" vacation at the Hyatt DFW Airport.  It is really nice getting away and only having to drive five miles.  We stayed on the floor below where we stayed the night we got married.  Ryan packed us carrots, celery and some healthy snacks and Domino's delivered us a pizza...we had to go down to the lobby to get it, but who knew they'd deliver pizza to your hotel!  We walked all around the newly renovated hotel.  Really nice.  Very modern now.  The "heated" pool was cold so we didn't get to swim.  Oh well.  What we both really enjoyed though is watching all the planes take off and land.  So amazing to watch these huge jets lift off the ground.  This morning we ate at the hotel breakfast buffet then went to church, which was a madhouse because the parking lots have to be monitored because of Grapefest. 
We got home and I started going through some clothes.  The Leukemia Society called last week and their truck is coming by on Tuesday.  When we got new furniture a month or so ago I had put together two huges bags full of things to give to the first group that called.  Ryan was worried I was in one of my "clean up" moods and required I go back through the bags before Tuesday. So I start.  The dress I wore to our rehearsal dinner... keep or give away?  I mean, it doesn't fit anymore, but it is still pretty in style and someone could get good use out of it.  But it has special meaning...it goes in the keep and make a pillow out of pile.  My first gray suit...definitely doesn't fit, and  the skirt is far too short...that goes in the give to family to look at pile.  As I made my different piles, I started wondering was I being too selfish...should I give away some of these items in my keep and make pillows out of pile that is now knee high?  What is protocol on this?  I think I'm going to start an "on the fence" or "in danger" drawer...
Timer just dinged...off to make fall cutout sugar cookies...
