Casual (drug and pain induced) Friday Observation

Laundry is really all about underwear.

You've got your favorites, the newest ones, the cutest ones, the sexy black ones. Once those all hit the hamper, you move on to your basics, the "if I was in an accident, I wouldn't be too ashamed" pairs. Then, you've got the "oh man, I hate these" pairs.

And then, it's the back of the drawer, the "why didn't I go to Target on the way home, I should have known the laundry room would be in use AGAIN" pairs.

That's right, the granny panties.
The old fashioned ones that were either mis-sized or from a period in the evolution of your waistline you'd like to forget. The Urkel-esque ones that have an unintentional control top effect. And you know they're either white or beige.

Or perhaps, perhaps, it's a thong. That peer-pressure purchased pair of panties that you didn't even cut the tags off of, the ones that make you walk very, very carefully and make you uncomfortably aware of every seam and thread in the pockets of your jeans.

Hmm, an accidental girdle or a $15 string of dental floss?
Time to buy a roll of quarters, grab a magazine and sit through a few spin cycles.

How did you know about my sexy black ones?? Are you peeping through my window again?

You forgot the 'wearing no underwear' option!

Pants are scratchy though.

haha! Every girl has those. It's sad that we think of those things when it comes to life-threatening situations: "Will the Paramedic think my underwear is cute?" But we do, we definetly do.

ewwww . . . thongs as floss . . .

"no panties" are the only way to go--especially when one wears skirts & is feeling particularly, uh, "fresh" (without the threat of a cycle lurking around the calendar).

Otherwise, I say, never wear anything above your navel or below your cheek (or between your cheeks) . . .

Maybe I'm brainwashed, but I think thongs area actually the most comfortable--hmn, maybe second to the boy-shorts...

No underwear is not an option, it just isn't.

Every chance I get Kato. You should really remember to pull the blinds.

ashley - don't forget matching the bra to the panties.

"get lucky" underwear - that's a whole other post there.

I KNOW! Washers and dryers should be mandatory in apartments. At least the East Coast will give you a fridge, unlike California.

sqmojo - I agree with your second statement, but skirts and no panties? I think that is against my company dress code.

robin - boyshorts are fun and provide good coverage, excellent choice.
