clothes horse

Will not deny that have a great (perhaps too great) love for clothes. Shopping in general, really... but most often manifested in form of blue and white Gap bags or shoe boxes. Was, however, horrified when finally got 'round to doing laundry yesterday evening and found that even after filling FOUR triple-loaders, was still not done.

Random Laundromat Woman: That's a lot of laundry.
H: Yeah, can't bring myself to do laundry more than once every couple of months.
RLW: You must have a lot of clothes!
H: Yeah, I kind of have a shopping problem.

With piles of warm laundry wrinkling on dingy laundromat counter, had to think about when exactly had last laundry encounter. And shock, horror of horrors... was day before leaving for infamous rob-me-blind NYC excursion. On Halloween. Yes. And the world will be glad to know that yours truly owns enough underwear to go from October 31st to January 9th without doing her wash. Quite amazing. Or disgusting. Really depends on your outlook.

Will go with amazing. Is a better color for this gal.

Side note: If were making a mix CD today, instead of doing silly monkey job, would probably add following songs to play list:

You're So Vain - Carly Simon
Respect - Aretha Franklin
Poem to a Horse - Shakira
Take Another Little Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin
Bye Bye - Jo Dee Messina
Time and Time Again - Papa Roach

But instead, have put in soundtrack to Zoolander. Because, really, who needs all that negativity?
