About ten years ago, I decided that I was tired of having pairs of socks.  I decided to throw out all my socks and just buy one kind.  I opted for black, cotton, Gold Toe Brand men's socks (I wear a size 10 ... so men's socks fit better).  Then, when I started going to the gym, I started buying one kind of white gym sock.  This way, when I need a pair of socks, I can pull out two black (or two white) socks and they will always match.  This whole system makes me so happy.  I find it sublime.

Last summer I bought some tiny tennis shoes (I liked them so much I bought three pairs of them) and they demanded their own sock, so I added about 16 pairs of little white socks to the mix.  Now I have three kinds of socks.

And, to kick-up-the-crazy a notch, I also have a fantasy that I find a simple dress pattern that looks really good on me and I make a bazillion of them out of different fabrics.  Then I would never have to go clothes shopping again.  And I would never have to think about what I want to wear.  My inspiration was a story I heard about Einstein when I was younger.  The rumor (which is apparently untrue) is that he had a closet full of the same outfit so he wouldn't have to spend any time (or mega brain power) on picking out an outfit.  I thought that was super-smart.
