I’m not sure where they all are, but every time I do laundry I’m left with a plethora (love that word) of socks without their mate. Mate-less socks drive me nuts. I realized that a lot of the missing socks were in the drawers waiting for the next load of laundry to produce their better half and they were like two ships sailing in the night. They would get thrown into the drawer and promptly get lost in the shuffle.
So I devised a new system. The sock wall of fame.
As I come upon socks that appear lonely and doing life without someone to walk hand in hand, erm, foot in foot with, I hang them up here above my washer. Then the next time I do laundry, as I find single socks, I escort them to the wall of shame fame…it’s a little like a line up “Ma’am, do you recognize any of these socks?”
If they answer yes, they are happily paired back up. Sometimes my girls don’t care and like to wear mismatched socks. But in the long run, we’re all happier if each one finds it’s solemate…ha, ha…it’s serendipity that as I wrote that the song “Soulmate” came on the radio, bwahahahah!!!
“most relationships seem so transitory…” ROFLMAOPMP*

Umm…you’re hilarious but…are you drunk or seriously lacking sleep or something? You sound GIDDY.

Totally giddy. Not sure why, but I’m in such a good mood. Who knew laundry would do that. And I even have a houseful of kids. MAYBE it’s the time change…who knows.

Wow…so simple, yet totally brilliant! I usually just toss them in the drawer and hope they’ll eventually get paired up:)

You’re too funny. I like that idea – it sounds like it works fine.
Now that my kids are no longer living at home, I have no mismatched socks. Hummmmm…just a thought.
