My husband is the type of person who likes things in extremes.
For example, if he finds a pair of shorts he likes, he gets them in every color.
He’s really into baseball caps, so we have a plethora. He buys them everywhere we go.
Right now, he’s having a major sunglasses moment.
He discovered that for about $40, he can get an entire box full of sunglasses on Alibaba.
I don’t know anything about this site and am not endorsing it — y’all know I’m a thrifter/secondhand champion, so this sunglasses-in-bulk business is not my vibe.
I prefer to source cheap sunglasses from Goodwill.
We are aligned, however, in the general concept of cheap sunglasses for him, because he’s lost several expensive pairs, including on airplanes and in the ocean.
When the sunglasses box arrived, I immediately knew I was in danger.
With each pair Vince tried on, the previous was tossed to the side, and my kitchen counter was soon covered in sunnies.
A future flashed before me that was full of sunglasses — surfaces throughout my home covered in them — all the same pair in different colors.
The horror.
BASKETS TO THE RESCUE.
I’ve thrifted two baskets from Goodwill that are now full of sunnies.
These baskets are keeping me calm.
These baskets are keeping me sane.
These baskets are good for my marriage.
: a poem.
I recommend baskets for a better life.
