I know I say I'm an inventor, but you have to back it up a bit... I am an inventor because someone has presented me with a problem. A problem to solve... so really I'm a problem-solver.
Problem: My son is getting ready to head off to college and since I was a commuter and didn't actually stay on campus at MSU, I feel a bit like a deer in the headlights. Looking at all the advertising circulars with such intense verve believing he MUST have that little shower caddy... Oh and how cute is that static cling memo board for friends to leave notes on his door when he's at class.
Process: Then there is a huge wave crashing on me barreling me over, my reality check waking me from my crazy thoughts... First Really??? Jake is NOT going to carry a shower caddy - I'll be lucky if he wears flip flops on his zombied walk down the hall to get to the showers. Cute memo board, RIGHT... unlike his mom, he is technically savvy and will just get an IM or Text alerting him.
But, I have to make sure he's prepared right....
Solution: Boils down to Necessities. (The mother of invention.) There isn't much room in a college dorm room. What he'll need is a really big laundry basket/bag. The creative solution is to make it smell better. He's a Student- Athlete and things can get pretty stinky. hummm... I'm going to experiment with sewing in a pouch of masculine scented deodorizer beads or a bundle of dryer sheets tissue box style (2 fold solution.) so he can use them at the student laundromat. Oh wait, big crashing wave again... right I'll be doing laundry!
