Sock it to me.

You know how “they” (whoever “they” are) say that opposites in relationships play off of each other. You know, like; one person may be very outgoing and their partner might be sort of shy…
Or one might have a very dry wit while the other has a comedic streak with a funny line for everything…
Or maybe one likes to be a home-body and the other likes to be on the go…?
It can pretty much be summed up in the difference between sock drawers.
Now I’m not saying to whom these sock drawers belong, but I think you can get an idea of the mismatched organizational skills of the sock drawer owners and you’ll have a good idea of their various corners of the living space they inhabit (closets, cabinets, computer desks, vehicles…)
Welcome to the organizational mastermind’s exhibit A:Note the identically neatly folded rectangles and the tendency to drift from dark to light. Note the apparent care used when placing items precisely in allotted spaces and the forethought given to said placement. Note the fastidious prudence.

Welcome to the impulsive madcap exhibit B:Note the lack of all of the above. In defense of the second drawer, at least they are all actually paired, even though some are inside out.
I’m sure therapy will ensue.
I'm just not sure for which drawer.

I would be the above sock drawer, and Dorky Musician would be the bottom. He is hopeless! And, a packrat too!

Sorry DM, I had to tell the world of this dirty secret of yours. :P

Annie... Your sock drawer looks like the black hole for missing socks. Could you please return my missing socks to me?

Annie said...

I'd say it would cost an arm and a leg...but actually maybe just a foot.

JL said...

Which person would be able to find a match if the power should ever go out? I'm guessing the owner of Drawer A!

Now should we move on to the underwear drawer and figure out how important that is without power. I think not!

Annie said...

You're probably wondering about that hockey mask and the voodoo doll, huh?



KIDDING, I'm kidding...

Mrs. Dorky Musician said...

I agree with JL...us organized people are much more superior than you disorganized ones! :P ;)

John Brainard said...

I think it's not safe to encourage someone to photograph their underwear drawer. It could be very disastrous.

Oh... And the one carrying a flashlight will have a better chance of finding a match in either drawer. :D

Annie said...

The one carrying the flashlight!! Now that's good! 'Cuz guess who it is in *this* camp!
Hahaha!! OhhhYeaaahhh!

John Brainard said...

Lets just hope you didn't leave it in your sock drawer! Nobody would ever be able to find it.

And don't try passing off that sock drawer as JLs. No air force veteran would wear socks that look like that!

Annie said...

Maybe not...but note the Miami Vice blue ones on the right. :p

JL said...

Hey, hey, hey now....don't mess with Miami Vice. That was a cool tv show in the 80s.

Annie said...

Apparently, not cool enough to go "sockless" for...which is the REAL "Miami Vice look". ;)

John Brainard said...

You might find this to be rather fitting!

Annie said...

Oddly, although that looks like my sock drawer...my room is a cat free zone.

John Brainard said...

It's not because of this, is it?

Annie said...

NOT vegan!

Mrs. Dorky Musician said...

Dorky and his kitty pics.... (rolling eyes). :P

Annie said...

I honestly don't know how you put up with it...
It's enough to make me want to yank one of them off the floor and slap them on the BBQ grill...
:p
