Wash day

I own more clothes than any one human should... I swear, I'm such an AMERICAN in that way.  I live in Texas, y'all, and I own more than 15 sweaters.  Some years, there are not 15 days of sweater weather down here.  I love sweaters, though, and continue to buy them when they are a good deal.


I may have mentioned here (once or twice) that I loathe laundry.  Really, really hate it.  I have an unnatural hate for it.  Laundry sucks so much, it should be on Joe Millionaire, giggling as it pleasures Evan.


Kurt doesn't understand this, because he says the machine does all the work.  I think maybe that's part of the problem, but I'm not sure.  On the other hand, I don't mind scrubbing a bathtub or toilet once in awhile.  Kurt hates this.  I swear, we are so compatable on a housework level, I should marry him.  Except we would kill each other.  Within 48 hours.


Topic?  Oh yeah.  Lotsa clothes.


I tend to buy clothes rather than doing laundry.  I find that it's much more fun to go out to eat with friends and buy a sweater to wear to work tomorrow than it is to stay home and do laundry all night.  I know this is flawed logic, and it costs me a lot of money, but that's what's been happening.


Here's the deal, though:  I have to stop this shit.  I'm spending tons of money, and ending up with more clothes than I need.  This only adds to the laundry pile, and ultimately, makes things worse.


So what am I gonna do?  I'm going to go a whole month without buying any clothes (no I'm not) and make sure I do laundry at least once a week (uh huh).


Or I could just bitch some more about it next time washing needs to be done.

Yeah, I'm guilty of the same thing...but I buy more underwear rather than washing it. I have loads of cheap underwear, because I feel like I only need a few cute pairs for few times that people actually see it before they rip it off.
Did I just write that?

It's probably not the laundry that's so offensive, but the sorting beforehand and then the folding and storing of the clothes. Perhaps instead of buying another garment, you could buy one of those clothing sorter things- you know, one of the racks with multiple bags in it. Then, you could just throw clothes into the appropriate bags as you soiled them. You could wash clothes as bags started to fill rather than waiting until you had nothing to wear. In addition to easing the task of sorting, it would reduce the amount of garments you had to put away.

Maybe?
