Seventeen!

So I'm pretty sure I've discovered one of Ryan's favorite things.  There are seventeen t-shirts here.  Seventeen!  Does that seem like an excessive number to anyone else?  It's not like there's a whole rainbow of colors going on.  That would at least help me understand a little bit of why he can't part with any of these. 

Like a good wife, I patiently waited for him to get home from work last night so I could help him help me thin this collection out a bit.  This is the product of the thinned out collection!  I should have taken a before picture.  Ah!  There must have been over thirty t-shirts.  I tried to limit him to seven.  That is still a lot considering there are plenty of other kinds of shirts in his closet as well.  I guess the number seven is in seventeen somewhere. 

Such entertainment it was, though, to have a midnight hour fashion show of gray shirt after gray shirt. The poor guy was asking for my serious opinion about which ones looked better on him. I couldn't be serious. I was too busy laughing! They all look exactly the same to me!

Note to self.  Next time, ditch the thoughtful wife approach and help a few of these bad boys slowly and mysteriously disappear each week. 

Oh,  and while I've got organizing closets on my mind and being as we're talking about favorites, my very favorite way to organize my closet is by color.  It's very happy for me that way.  Happy, anyway, when there is more to work with than gray!

Love it. I like my closet organized by color as well....is gray a color?
That's hillarious. I'd have to say that the Fuller household is with Ryan on this one. I think we each have at least 30, maybe more, and I know Frankie has almost twice as many as me :). Its so hard to part with a comfy shirt.

Thank you, I tried to tell Jessica that I do not have that many shirts if you really compared them to others. Also, I do not just buy clothing, what I have is from over 10 years of time and usually given as christmas or some other holiday gifts. I will admit that some of the shirts were rediculously small, like 30 pounds ago, or so big that they must have been left at our house by either my or her father. Either way, I hate the show what not to wear, and hate playing it in real life.
