....seems to feature on an inordinately high number of posts on this blog. I'm not sure if I should take great pride in how I have elevated this to a fine art, or crawl under the bed in abject embarrassment given the depths to which I've sunk. The realisation that I really don't have a clue on blog protocol or what other bloggers do, bothers me not one iota and given that my sub-bed space is where my landord's rejected paintings reside, I shall drive myself to new levels, seeking excellence in the arena, like the magnificent Sergei Bubka, in a field fallow of any credible competition. Hyperbole? Melodrama tinged DNA? Delusions of grandeur? All of the above? Think about this then, a stray conversation about underwear a while ago...or was it laundry? Hardly matters. But faced with an uninteresting deadline, I began to contemplate the larger philosophy around underwear and laundry. Pragmatism suggests one should have at least 10-14 days worth so clean underwear on holidays is not an issue. Naturally, if you're the type that's not averse to longer vacations.... pro rata your knickers. Then, there's the delight that comes with buying pretty lingerie. Call it enjoyable practicality - this acquisition of delectable bits. Ok. Call it a weakness that makes the women in my life, not so gently, drag me away from temptation. My name is Apara. I love lingerie. Combine that weakness with my sterling ability to procrastinate..what do you get? A catalogue. Yes, I have catalogued, very neatly (lucida handwriting, 14 point) the contents of my four drawers of unmentionables. It began as an underwear count (bottoms only) to see how many days I could go minus laundry and blossomed into a full blown excel sheet, tagging different styles (if I ever feel the need for a pivot table...)! How worried should I be??? I can see you shaking your head and asking - about owning vast quantities of undies? or actually running an inventory on them?!
In case you were wondering.........eight weeks easy. Details available on request ;-)
