New Year's Resolutions
I don't usually make them. When you have enough circumstances fly beyond your control, it tends to silence the Oprah in you.
But I feel pretty comfortable with this one: I'm not matching any socks or folding any tee shirts. Both are stressful to me. I decided that it wasn't worth it after doing a million and a half loads of laundry. Everyone can do their own if they want. Josh already does. He even does right and left matching socks. That's how different we are in the laundry category. My philosophy is cold water. Everything in. A basket for sockets. A pile for tee shirts.

I'm a big fan of simplifying the laundry. Haven't sorted in quite a while. It all goes in together here too. Baskets for each family member means no folding at all really.
I'm also a big fan of the anti-resolution in general, what we're not going to bother with anymore. That is just perfect for me!
How's the new house treatin' ya?
I didn't know that there were right and left socks, this is shocking. I have probably been going through life with the wrong sock on the wrong foot.
oh, yes. Determined by which sock has the big toe bend. You can't see that?
I didn't know there were left and right socks either! I'm a big fan of COLD water only all the time unless its sheets or towels. I intentionally buy clothing that is anti-wrinkle because I let it sit in the drier for days, then back in the laundry basket in my closet until I need it again for another load. Very efficient. I don't divide anything ever. It drives Ben crazy- he does his own laundry because I annoy him too much when I honestly forget about it and it wrinkles.
