  1. Thought of you today. I was cleaning house and I realized I have been hoarding underpants, of all things. Between all the unopened packages, I have fourteen (the number surprised me!) new pairs, plus a drawer stuffed with all the pairs I actually wear. They are just normal, regular panties...nothing fancy, special, or weird. But I thought you might get a kick out of hearing that story...

  2. wordsprite-LOL!!! You can never have too many pairs of underwear! They are like socks. They magically disappear. Or every single pair is clean or there are no clean ones when you open the drawer. I feel like my kids never have enough underwear. My daughter is always saying she doesn't have any clean ones even though she has like 15 pairs and I do laundry everyday!! My son has days of the week ones and there are always a day or two that aren't clean on that day and I have regular ones to put on him thankfully. I personally am very picky about how mine fit so if I find some that fit really well and are on clearance I will stock up. I have been patiently waiting for some to get marked down at Walmart that have been on the clearance rack forever. They are the best underwear I have ever purchased !! I suddenly feel the need to go buy some underwear.....

    Hope you enjoyed another one of my tangents! At least I stayed on topic : )
