"Ode to Laundry"

Well, I guess you can't really call it and "Ode" now,
can you?
Doesn't the word "Ode" mean something like,
"In joyful memory of?"
Or something like that?
Personally,
I don't find laundry joyful.

Well, as you can tell, that's what I'm doing today...
laundry.
I put all of my clothes at my apartment into a couple of hampers
and carted them to my parents house.
(thank you Mom and Dad for the free use of your machines! :D )
Everyone is always telling me that I have WAY too many clothes
that I never wear,
and until now, I didn't agree with them.
But I've realized during this particular laundry expedition,
in which I've decided to wash every piece of clothing I have that isn't already clean,
that they just may be right...

Well, I've decided to put an end to it.
I don't want to have all these clothes that I never wear,
it's just hard to let go sometimes, you know?
Like to that little sweater/jacket that your sure
will look cute someday
if you can just find the right shirt to go under it,
so you can't let go of it
because you're holding out hope for it.
Got anything like that?
I'm determined to get rid of most of mine like that today.
Thank goodness for the D.I.!
I'd feel awful if I had to just throw them all away!
