Do you have any idea how long it takes to fold 155 pairs of underwear?

Me neither.

I only folded the hipsters and the panties, which leaves the thongs and the strings.

I am not folding all of those.

Again, for the eighty-seventh time (at least); I have too much underwear!

But how on earth do I stop buying them when they make them as cute as they do?

It's really not my fault at all...

(except for.. you know.. the not-so-secret fact that I love lingerie... and that I already had a label called that...)

Panties Test

I'm offended!

This test (in Norwegian) tells me this is my kind of underwear. Have you ever seen anything so nasty?

The test also tells me that unless I'm a boy I must be a real tomboy. Apparently I like that underwear is comfortable (which is true, I do) and I should wax my bikini line.

I even went back and changed all my answers to the opposite of what I answered before. Still got the same result.

I am not happy...

Boyd and his pink Boxers

Stationed in Afghanistan's Kunar Province, Army Specialist Zachary Boyd, 19, was rushed out of bed, having no time to get dressed, when his platoon suddenly found themselves under fire.



This photo was printed on the cover of the NY Times, and Boyd feared the consequences when the President saw him out of uniform. Allaying his fears of being out of a job, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has commented on the incident;

"Any soldier who goes into battle against the Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special kind of courage.

"I can only wonder about the impact on the Taliban. Just imagine seeing that: a guy in pink boxers and flip-flops has you in his cross-hairs. What an incredible innovation in psychological warfare."

I suppose they are pretty strict when it comes to dress code in the US military... I've only seen one American military guy out of his jeans and he didn't wear underwear at all, so it's good to finally have confirmation they're at least allowed to wear their own lucky boxers!

Stranger still

A couple days after I found the other thongs by the bridge, this one showed up just outside the door downstairs.

I can't help but wonder who wore these thongs before they were discarded. They do look rather... worn.

The strange things I found.

Monday night someone decorated the grass between here and the bridge with somewhat puzzling ornaments.


These included several pairs of thongs, yellow rubber gloves, plastic, paper and some other rubbish.



I'm sure there's a story behind this, I just can't imagine what it could be...

Washing Clothes

I've been washing all my clothes today. I don't like washing clothes anymore. Don't get me wrong - I never used to like it, but I didn't use to mind either. Lately I've just got rather fed up with it, it's not like I have to do much, just get the clothes downstairs, in the machine, in the dryer if they're sheets and towels, otherwise put them up to dry, then in a few days, fold them and put them in the closet.

It's not hard work, it's just the remembering to do all this. And the actually doing it. Take today for example. Underwear. A ton (pretty literally) of tiny thongs. It is absolutely impossible to put them up to dry; they just keep falling off the line! I'm seriously considering a) wearing nothing but boxer shorts, or b) wearing no underwear at all.

Today, after putting the clothes up, I went to the shop to buy some more laundry detergent. I bought two boxes, one for white clothes and the other for coloured clothes. That should last about a year... I walk in the door to my room and the smell hits me. It's not bad, as such, it's just warm, wet clothes mixed with...soap. I don't like the smell of this laundry detergent...

That's when I realize I'd just made sure this is how my room is going to smell every time I've wash my clothes, for an entire year. How stupid can you get? (- don't answer that)

What Your Underwear Says About You

When you're bad, you're very bad. And when you're good, you're still trouble! You are childlike (or childish), and prone to run around in your underwear.

The Underwear Oracle

-- I can't really argue with this one...

The Underwear Oracle

A while ago I got a negative comment on my having mentioning my underwear on this blog. I don't believe I do that a lot but I do like my underwear so I thought I'd take a test, see what my underwear says about me, and let all of you know and be as annoyed as you want.

What Your Underwear Says About You

You buy the sexiest underwear you kind find, and always have something hot on underneath your clothes. You're a closet exhibitionist who gets a thrill from being secretly naughty.

The Underwear Oracle

I don't quite agree with this though.. You are supposed to tell them what kind of underwear you're wearing right now and apparently my red thong says I'm a closet exhibitionist. But hey, fine by me. I have no problems being 'secretly naughty'...

Panty Personality

You're a Hipster

That's right, funny girl, you know how to use your quick wit and wise cracks to work a room, a party, or even that cute guy you've been eyeing. So even if you've never donned some super silly and sexy hipsters, these funny undies match your sweet and fun-loving personality.


Hipster? My whole panty drawer (and all those that don't fit in there) just shuddered. Don't worry, I won't throw them out and start buying hipsters. I love my funny thongs too much.

Dutch women prefer big knickers

I've mentioned before that I like underwear. I think everyone likes underwear it's just that most people haven't realized yet. This article is about underwear. Women exchange pretty lingerie for comfy lingerie... Seriously, if someone gets me lacy underwear, and it's the right size and everything, I wouldn't dream of exchanging it... Mind you, deep red might not be the best colour, try a lighter shade of red. But not pinkish red!

Do you have a thing about underwear?

I was doing the washing today, and as I was hanging it all up, I realized I have A LOT of underwear. Not that I didn't know that from before, my drawer at home was way more than full before I left. I just love underwear. I don't have a whole lot of 'upper-underwear-things', but I do have lots of tiny things that go...well, further down. (I'm trying my best to be discreet, how am I doing?)

What can I say? Girl underwear is cute. All kinds of patterns and colours and shapes and sizes. With ribbons on the sides or a bow on the front. And Snoopy. Why is there so much underwear with Snoopy on these days? H&M gone Snoopy crazy... I just realized my newest top and too large bottom thing (with ribbons, btw) match the colours of the Cosmopolitan I bought two weeks ago... Apart from that, I'm in an underwear dead zone.

Now, what about you?
Do you wear underwear or not?
Do you have a thing about underwear? Yours or somebody else's?

Oh come on, I know you're reading this, leave a comment!
We all want to know what you think!
