Nothing like moving to make you realize you have too many underpants.

Between the two of us, there are just underpants everywhere.

Moving so much has really made me a master of minimalism. Everything we own has a purpose and a place. Except, that is, for all of the freaking underpants!

The movers arrive Monday. They are beautiful angels who are going to pack up all of our junk for us. But because I anticipate these angels coming in disguise as giant, burly dudes, I’m taking it upon myself to pack our delicates. Although I trust these gentleman are hygienic, I cannot allow their grubby paws on such personal items! There are, like, 3 bags worth of undergarments thus far. Why? Where did these come from?? I blame the 5 for $20 bins at Target.

I also have, like, a lot of athletic gear for someone who only does yoga and goes on walks.
