I cleaned out the utility room today.
At last count I have 3 hammers, 8 screwdrivers, 3 wrenches, 7 extension cords, more nails than I will ever use, enough plastic bags to take care of the world's garbage...ug! why do I do this??? I am a pack rat...oh, and cans of paint, sponges, half empty bottles of Fantastic.... and those little bag tie thingies... I am drowning!!! I am going to revise my Will and leave all of this junk to Will Pitt...I know he will love me for it! :-)

1. LOL Raven!
I'm taking a break from cleaning out my hall closet. I keep my stationary in there (I'm a stationary addict), and in a classic reversal, instead of stealing supplies from work, I'm going to take a lot of this stuff I bought into the office!

I also keep my toiletries in there, and just found that I have 6 new toothbrushes.

Ugggh! Now I have to finish putting all this junk away. There goes the rest of the day.

Happy cleaning!

:)

2. Mustard!
I used to collect mustard too. Every time I went to the store I would buy another jar of mustard because I couldn't remember how much I had left at home. Will used to tease me about that "Mom, do you think we have enough mustard?" I have a good friend who hoards toilet paper... but toothbrushes...to each his own!

4. Me too. I either buy it or
somebody gives it to me for Christmas..."Welcome to the Lake"...I have at least 6 of these plaques..."Gone Fishin'" is another favorite. I am running out of walls!

5. Hey...you can never have enough...
extension cords or screwdrivers. Mine love to sneak out of the drawer I keep them in late at night and hide in interesting locations around the apartment. At least that's my theory on why I can never find one of the gajillion screwdrivers I know I own when I need one. :)
