This weekend I was in the kitchen minding my own business, when he walked in and announced, “I organized your pads by size and color…”
Perplexed, I stood at the sink trying to blink some sense into his utterance. Nothing about those words or their arrangement fit into our normal everyday existence. This is not a man to organize anything by size and color. We share a closet, you see, and I took over laundry duty years ago for the sake of my sanity. Under his charge, if clothes were lucky enough to make it from dryer to closet (and rarely were they ever), they were hung all willy-nilly, coat hangers askew, pants cavorting with shirts in an unholy way, with no thought given to color or context. This is the man whose shoes I pick up and return to the closet multiple times throughout the day. Flip flops and dress shoes and Birks and not one but TWO pairs of work boots. All in the bedroom, but not the closet. Who puts on and takes off this many shoes in one day?
But there he was standing in the kitchen Sunday showing me proof of deed. In his hand was a Tupperware container he had commandeered for the purpose. T’was a veritable rainbow of feminine hygiene products tucked neatly inside this cornucopia. I stared dumbfounded, mouth agape, as he followed up with, “…just in case you ever forget what love is.”

LOL…well that’s fantastic! Every woman needs their feminine hygiene products arranged into a rainbow!
You asked the question, “Who puts on and takes off this many shoes in one day?” My husband does! And it’s not just shoes it’s socks too! And they never never make it to the closet! EVER! But that’s ok…I’m a crafter and I have crafting crap on every flat surface all over the house! I guess it’s a trade off.
One of the things he does that drives me truly crazy: He’ll need to cut something open, he brings item to the kitchen where the scissors are kept in the drawer. He opens drawer, takes out scissors and cuts open item, places scissors on counter above the open drawer, then closes drawer.

Socks are strangely absent in the bedroom shoe clutter on this end. Curious that.
You are out of control with the crafting supplies. Of course my version of clutter is books, pens, and notebooks.
The scissors thing is like putting dirty clothes on TOP of the laundry hamper instead of picking up the lid and putting them inside.
