Evidently I had so much fun this weekend cleaning out my closet that it inspired Gary to do the same — only multiplied by a factor of two on the Gary Scale. Took me a day and a half; took him three. I donated two trash bags; Gary gave four.
His organizing frenzy spilled into every room he entered — you know how it is — and he began organizing my things.
“No, Gary, I’ve got that. I have a whole plan –”
“NO I’VE GOT THIS DON’T ARGUE WITH ME LET ME DO THIS.” And then he’d purge old DVDs so I’d have more space for my wig larder.
I close with this little bit of TV shirt mania from his room. I mean, I’d make my rolled T-shirts all be as tidy as the one on the left, but this was Baby’s First Cleanup.

For a first attempt at rolling up t-shirts, that’s not bad, but also yes, I would have expected more Dedication To The Bit from Gary.
(hooray for Wig Larder! and for clothing and stuff going to people who need it or will use it! and for easier access to the things you do want!!!)
(I have to swap browsers to comment now that it is wordpress – I have a lot of scripts blocked in my normal browser – so I am thinking replies to your blog more than I am actually going and sending them – but still reading regularly.)
(also I support you wearing something Fabulous and Absurd to the opera. Exactly what percentage of a society’s income should be devoted to high-end temporary public art vs. the basics like Feeding People and Getting Them Healthcare I do not know, but I think *some* should be towards public art, and those wraps would 100% count as public art, and presumably you already donate to food banks and stuff with *some* of your disposable income, so it’s not a totally oblivious “let them eat cake” sort of situation?)
KC – I hate that you have to switch. If you type mockblog – thats supposed to redirect – does it do something different? I noticed the other day that wikipedia behaves differently for me if I’m logged in. Or is it just that WordPress has popups or security issues? I still haven’t worked out how to put the comments on the side because I can’t tell what template this page uses. Right above this on my screen it says Reply to KCCancel reply. All run together. I fixing that too when I see where this blighted thing comes from.
And I’m wearing essentially costumes to the symphony. Mom-in-my-head looks pained but I’ll be with someone who looks elegant so maybe it will all even out.
