I have hanging baskets for the unmentionables.

I noticed your new avatar this morning. I love it!


Rhonda mutters to herself...
... okay. A basket for my bras, would look like a basket for a hellium balloon.. hahahahahaaha!

Yeah I know.. I'm being silly. Im procrastinating my work.. actually Im just in a holding pattern right now. Lets hope it doesnt HOLD me over past 4:30pm...

Yeah the avatar fits today... I was bored with my flowers.

RhondaSue.. who stayed up waaaaaaaaaay too late and its all HEIDI's fault! (points and jumps up and down).. and then realizes this is too much like aerobics..

Yah, yah, that's me...the bad influence. I have always been a Eddie Haskel charming the June Cleavers of the world and then talking Wally into a hairbrained scheme that would get him in trouble. I take the fizzith!

I'm with you Sam. We don't use a dresser. I have a coffee bar in my dressing area for the mentionables bins and put shorts and sweats in the cupboard above. Bath towels below. The lone socks get tucked into the handle for one-shot potty floor dusters (lone socks are so rude.)

To shock and amaze me... I really don't THINK I was dreaming. Are ya ready? This is a DH first...

My DH had to get some clothes last saturday. (on sale mind you, he's good) He got 5 (yes 5) new jeans (cuz he ripped out the seat in another pair don'tcha know... and new underwear (gasp) AND... new socks.

Ok.. and a pair of shorts too!
I know... I didnt even go with him....

Last night, I watched this man...
Pull out his old socks.. sort thru them and threw out the holey ones!
Pull out the old underwear (shock) and threw the holey ones away!
AND... as if that wasnt enuff.
He threw out three pairs of his old jeans! well actually he folded them and put them on the dresser.. and when I asked what that was supposed to mean, he said "I dunno"... then I watched him... GULP... take all the old holey stuff, and put them in the trashcan!

Surely some alien has possessed my husband to make him actually sort thru his underwear and socks and actually throw the yuckies away!

And no.. I had NOT been drinking!
(shakes head in amazement).... RhondaSue.

Oh girl...I will talk to you later. You just and go get that man and then do your faint thing. Go on now...

YEA BIG MAN!!! I didn't know you purged too! Let me the one to say this and just get it on out there, "Gentlemen, nice socks and drawers are sasssssy." You did good, BF.

Fresh clean underwear without holes and stringily thing-alies.. and undershirts without hard yllow gunk under the arms... SO ROCK.

I swear ... men dont get that.

When was teh last time WE did an underwear check? I purged all my stretched out - elastic stringalies and stuff .... and its nie to know that the ones I have in there.. are in good working order. Same for bras.

A loose wire... is like a tick.. WILL JUST SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU!
You can't sew it back together etiher. I've tried.

CHeck your Un=mentionables ladies!!

QUESTION: never thought about the loose socks as dustmops for the floor. Cool idea..... but I purged out all my icky socks too!

rambling RS

I am gonna do my handwash today.. does that count as a laundryrun too? Cause i want my golden star sticker!

Pardon my blonde-ness here (well ok its really gray. )

What is a "handwash"? I'm soooooooo cornfuzed!

RS

It's just me and DH so I couldn't do laundry every day even if I wanted to. I do it every two or three days. The hard part for me isn't getting it started, it's getting it finished (folded and put away). But so far I am keeping up. I think my DH appreciates that he doesn't have to ask me every night now if he has clean shirts for work the next day. (Note: DH actually lays out his clothes every night for the next day What a concept. )

p.s. I'd like to know what handwash is too (I'm so nosey )

Handwash gets TWO STARS! See Natalia? You are amongst women, me included, who run around with tiny elastic hairs on our bra straps. I'll fess up - I don't even sort into colors.

Handwashing is the Woolite in the tub wash for delicates (mainly unmentionables.) Anything the machine eats.

Exactly! I was all my bras handwashingly (oh i just made up that word). I read a great tip sometime in the Marie Claire that if you didnt want to really spend time on it you should was the bra you had on the day before just in the shower with you in the morning. I thought that was a great idea, because i always stall on the handwash. So i needed to do it all once so i would have lots to choose from again (well 3 since i found out that all my bras are too small with a professional fitting i had done last week). So i need to do a bit more still and then afterwards i will try to do the handwas once a week for clothes (then its just one or 2 things, that i can handle) and my bras go into the shower with me. Hope that will work.

You are wearing your bra in the shower!?!?!

I'm sorry - I throw my bras in the washer (hey I do clip them) and then hang them up to dry. Call me crazy - Call me lazy.. but Im not putting on yesterdays sweaty bra when I get in the shower in the morning.

Rhonda

noo not putting it on.. just taking it with you and holding it under the water so it gets rinsed....

I did one small load of laundry on Saturday. It is Monday night. I still have that load of clothes in the dryer.

I'm going to go take 15 minutes right now and put those clothes away!



UPDATE:The laundry is all put away!
