Somehow I have amassed a large number of socks, more than will comfortably fit in my sock drawer. (I like my socks to be comfortable.) How many socks does a person need? I will be asking myself that question many times during the great purge of 2006. I have decided to go with a rule of 10. This will work well with clothes as it gives me two weeks worth. We'll see how it works for other items. Anyway, this morning I'm down to 10 pair of dress socks (including some I got for Chirstmas - sweet!) and 10 pair of white socks. This doesn't include the socks I'm wearing or any that might be in the laundry system, but I can't spend time tracking down such details if I'm going to document this process here. I also pulled out a few pair of old undies. The socks are going to goodwill. The undies to the trash. I can't picture someone else wearing my old undies.
