When I was a nanny I had to do Nicole's* laundry once a week, so I'd toss mine in as well. Now I mostly forget to do laundry until I run out of underwear.
And I have a LOT of underwear.
Stockpiling it is a residual habit leftover from the days when I lived in an apartment with a coin-op washer and dryer. Rather than pay to do laundry, I'd go buy new socks and underwear. Because that's how I roll.
To be honest, this time I only got through about 3/4 of my underwear before I realized I was in dire need of a laundry day. I just got through all the underwear I like.
I call this the Hanging Wall of Bras. It really ought to be the Wall of Hanging Bras, but it isn't.
*Name changed to protect me from having to differentiate her from my sister, who has the same name, every time I talk about her.

me too, on both counts. Though one reason I have so much underwear is that, after wearing garments, plain old normal underwear is just so easy to acquire and deal with. Two dozen pair of underwear don't take up as much room as one dozen pair of garment tops and bottoms.
Garments are AWFUL--especially for menstruating women, and the difficulty of getting blood stains out of white nylon is only one reason why. You'd think that God's true church could manage to have magic underwear that isn't so awkward, impractical and weird.
I hope this comment isn't too loaded with references to weird religious practices and bodily functions that freak some people out to be appropriate for your blog.... I guess you'll let me know.
Holly - I think nearly everyone who reads this either was Mormon or still is, so they'll understand what you mean. Although some of them might be kind of offended.
Sorry guys!
I never wore garments, and I'm super happy about that. I don't need another layer of clothes on a hot day.
I'm thinking that your Hanging Wall of Bras should be a world wonder, not unlike the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
I hate doing laundry. Correction: I like to do laundry and fold it, but then I do not like to put it away. Having lots and lots of underwear doesn't help this.
PS - my word verification for this comment is "unteries," which I'm pretty sure is the German word for underwear.
canihelpyousir - I like doing laundry considerably more than I like other household chores. Folding it is my least favorite part, though. Putting it away takes 10 seconds.
