Some of you might be asking how long this orderly set-up is supposed to last.  If you've ever cleaned up your sock drawer, you already know exactly how long it will last.

When your sock drawer is finished, you can

















Oh, no, wait.  Sorry - wrong image.  You can go off to work, whistling all the way!
