In doing laundry a week and a half ago, I noticed that I have enough of particular colors to justify loads all by themselves. I have the ubiquitous black load and white load. To this I now usually have a red load, a blue load, a green load, tan/brown load, and a grey load. The blue and green have only just recently been split into their own separate loads.
Prior to this last round of laundry, I have acquired two green new-to-me shirts, a mottled green one thanks to thsuma and an emerald green velvet one at the White Elephant Sale thanks to ren_wench. Following laundry day, I got to wear them for the first time last Monday and Tuesday. A co-worker and I were laughing about me wearing green two days in a row. She is at work only M-W so I made sure to wear green on Wednesday. Then I got this weird idea, how much green do I have? Can I wear green for every day of the week?
So, I finished out the work week wearing some item of green every day. Then I carried it into the weekend. Seven days of green. Monday was a green tank-top. Yesterday and today, it is items with green in them: a green and brown belt and khaki green skirt yesterday, today a very green plaid skirt. I have had to resort to skirts to continue the green trend. I think it would be really funny if I could keep it going for the rest of the week. That would take me to the 14th. If I could stretch it two more days after that, I could have worn green for every day in March before St Patrick’s day. I do have more green at home but not work appropriate clothes. I have a green linen blazer but I can’t find it. *le sigh*
Yes, I am entertained by some odd things.
I’ve done red loads a lot in the past, when laundry was more of a chore. If there weren’t enough reds, I’d add blacks. If I’d let it go ridiculously long, I’d do a separate blue and green load, too, but I usually run out of whites before then.
