• two bottles of hair product. no wonder this is a multi-billion dollar industry.
• three metal grid walls. sold, which is always a nice way to get rid of something you don't want.

• three books. read 'em.
• one tiny tub dental cream. no idea.
• one container body butter. ginger sparkle?

one gorgeous glass bowl. with one enormous chip.
a pair of child's leggings. inexplicably living in my drawer.
one giant binder. which will likely have to be replaced sometime soon.
a pair of shower gloves. which make me shudder ever time i see them.
a small mirror. enough reflection, already.

• two hairbrushes. of seven???
• one pad post-it notes. so limiting, those tiny squares.
• one bottle of supplemental amino acids. so many supplements. still tired.
• one pocket calendar. still not used halfway through the year.

• one old toilet brush. *shudder*
• three fitted sheets. twin beds are a thing of the past!
• one rock. yes, another one.

• a jar of hair...stuff. must have used it once upon a time.
• six oddly-shaped post-it pads. i live in a post-post-it world.

• a pair of trouser socks. what?
• a pair of underwear. uncomfortable.
• a jar of semi-dried up something from the bathroom. hmmmmm.
• a pad of sticky notes. cool looking but not useful.
• a pack of sticky flags with owls on them. adorable!

• a shower caddy. no place for this in my beautiful new bathroom.
• an old electrical outlet. unknown to me this was replaced with a newer, better one.
• all-day callous cushions. makes me hurt to look at the package.
• a pad of green paper. which reminds me so much of a particular time.
• a tiny bar of soap. because, how many?

• four little soaps.
• two little shampoos.
• two little body lotions.
• one little body wash. all gone to a food pantry. which can always use non-food items.

• one small box with lid. very nice. inexplicably empty.
• one device for filing the nails. i have never understood the purpose of this tool.
• the remainder of a bottle of lotion. aveda. way too much aroma, therapeutic or otherwise.
• one light fixture. that's a generous description.
• one pair crutches. don't remind me.

• an embarrassing number of hotel shower accoutrements. i may be a hoarder.

• a stash of paint sample cards. so...pretty...want...to...keep...
• a pair of winter boots. i honestly have no idea how these came to live in this house.
• one pair of glasses with no lenses. smuggled out of my daughter's room.
• a shower cap from the ritz. ditto.
• a practically unused pair of overall snow pants, child's size six. a warmer climate might be cheaper.

• grammar and writing practice book. what? we're not using that?
• a stack of watercolors. process, not product.
• a small pink stuffed elephant. so much cuter than it sounds.
• a rubber duck. with a painted tartan hat. oddly creepy.
• a hairbrush. from shortage to overabundance.

• a small purse. sadly empty of cash.
• a painted wooden box. also empty of treasure.
• one shower cap. standard hotel issue.
• a lavendar-filled pillow. more relaxing when not clutteringup an unopened drawer.
• one scarf. pretty, but.

• one shirt. seriously, i do not own very much clothing.
• one tiny tube of lotion. note to self: please stop taking these from hotel rooms.
• one nearly empty jar of nail polish remover. i am glad that i buy organic meat at a million dollars a pound only to have my daughter practically bathe in this stuff.
• one dried up eyeliner. more contemplated than actually used.
• one tin of unidentified white powder. my children are still (a little) too young for this to be a discovery that gives me pause.

• a remote control. no television to control.
• sunscreen. this will undoubtedly be past its usefulness when we finally see the sun again.
• a pair of toe-separator things. one would think we practiced pedicures here weekly.
• a bunion imitator thingy. an extra.
• a ring that must once have been a useful part of...something.

• silicone frog beak. hand puppet? potholder? useless?
• defining gel. for hair. of which i have very little.
• homemade spider trap. dead spider included.
• felting needle case. why are tiny boxes so irresistible?
• creepy children's book. well, obviously.

• one tiny toothpaste.
• two tiny soaps.
• three tiny lotions. just because it's free doesn't mean you need it.

• hair product. smells delicious. the two times a year i open it.
• pumpkin seeds. oops, growing season is over.
• bathing cap. so pink. so tight.
• three large spools of thread. useful for that project, twelve years ago.

• a bar of soap. you'd think high-end hotels would have nice-smelling soap.
• a mattress cover. extra.
• a rock. found in the dryer.
• two books. no more books than shelf space allows.
