Owning Up

OK, I'm admitting it here. I have more clothes than Monica. It's not even like it was close. I had more to start with, and I got rid of fewer. Same's true of shoes.

There. I feel better.

I admit I laughed out loud to that one. Especially when you got to the shoes part. I have long called Andy Imelda. His collection beats out mine. Forget comic books, now I know the truth about why you guys have been friends for so long!

That's lie...my shoes are bigger than yours. Remeber, I only get one closet to your two.

Come on, Bram... How many collarless shirts and Doc Martins can one man actually own???

I strongly recommend that you move into a house with a basement and with at least three spare rooms with closets..then you'll only have to have two yard sales a year to rid yourself of the excess clothes...and you'll her yourself saying cool phrases like..."Wow I did't wear this all season"...and "Crap, I already had one/two/three in that color/size/pattern...."

Yeah, but I have waaaaaaaaaaay more coats that Bram.

...and table linens? fuggeddabout it! The girl who can't pass a Crate+Barrel store without picking up another tablecloth packed 4 boxes of stuff, using only cloth napkins for padding.

Also: is it admitting defeat to label a box "misc" or "nic-nacks?"

Liz, we shall not speak of the comic books. :)

If you label a box full of comic books "Trash" will they go away? {that's not to say there aren't some worth keeping I guess}

Bram said...

Well, it might be better to label the box "Retirement Fund" unless you just feel like throwing out vast sums of wealth.

And I have perfectly logical reasons for all the clothes and shoes. It's just that when I express them, they come out sounding more like excuses.

what can you say about someone who apparently buys shoes 2 pair at a time, so he has a hot spare ready the instant the first pair wears out?

not to mention keeping the spare(s) in cold storage in Maryland (sort of off-site storage, in case there is a fire or other natural disaster which might adversely affect the original pair)
