Why can’t we wear out our clothing?! I have a sweater I really like and it matches perfectly with a shirt I am wearing today but I feel odd: my sweater has several little holes in it. I really do have too much clothing. And way too much variety and colors and choice. Maybe if I wore out my clothing I would not have so much clothing. And my clothes closet would not be so full.

My clothes must breed in secret in my closet. I had no idea where this blue shirt came from. I was looking for something to wear which was warm. And there it was. I had no idea where it came from. It is not that I have mountains of clothing. I don’t, although I have to say my closet is relatively full. I have on occasion given away clothing. In fact, our “jacket” closet was overflowing until we gave away some less worn clothing. Now I can find articles of clothing easier. I don’t have to struggle to find and pull one coat out of there. Every once in a while I find something in one of my closets and I have no idea where it came from. As I said, the clothes I have breed while I am not watching and there it is–one of its grown children usually a different color and shape. We will blame it on genes.

Certain things about my wife drive me nuts. For a start, we have old computers hidden in all corners of the house. Some of the operating systems even run on DOS (before Windows came out). She can’t bear to part with them. We even have software for these “dinosaurs”.
Some of the computers crashed but she still entertained the idea of salvaging the hard drives on them and the 1000’s of graphics she had stored on them. I can not understand any of this. These things are driving me crazy.
I am still flabbergasted we actually straightened up one room, started from scratch, put a new rug in it and furnished it. It is our office and incidentally our favorite room in the house. I become happy when I go in it.
In that room, though, is a pile of old catalogs–years old that she collected and stacked between the two clothes closets. She could not possibly order any thing from these catalogs. They are too old.
I even ordered current catalogs from the ones she especially liked but it made no difference she would not discard the old ones.
I guess she is a pack rat. All this is driving me a little bonkers. But I chose to ignore my frustration. There are too many things I love about my wife. And I am sure there are things I do that drive her nuts too.
