  • one gorgeous silk scarf. i wish i thought i'd ever wear it.
  • one glass vase. painful, but likely i won't remember it in a week.
  • a really lovely wooden keychain. there are a lot of keychains in the world.
  • one lip gloss. very sticky.
  • three embroidered pins. poor color choices.

  • a pair of beloved crocs. even gardening shoes reach a point of no return.
  • a clock. it's been showing the wrong time for at least two weeks, so apparently i don't really use it.
  • seven bottles of nail polish. an obsession comes to an end.

  • one graphic novel. it's zeus!
  • one tube of lip gloss. extremely pink.
  • one glue pen. which seems like one iteration too many.
  • a neti pot. such a great idea. but no.
  • one dishtowel? cleaning cloth? with a lovely tree motif.

  • one more green plastic cup. a terrible shade of green.
  • one bar stinky soap. not in my shower...
  • three makeup sticks. eyes? lips? brows? i'm not good at makeup.

  • a popsicle stick sculpture. or at least structure.
  • a tube of mascara. masquerading as a marker and hiding among the pens.
  • two rocks. yes, friends, more rocks.
  • a box of junior mints. i really love junior mints.

  • one jacket. jackets are my weakness.
  • one shirt. i just do not wear red.
  • one tiny green chair. you know how something invested with fond memories seems very precious, then you realize that it's really junk? um, yes.
  • one jump rope handle. i have no idea.
  • one tube of lip glossy stuff. yuck.

  • a bottle of makeup. wishful thinking.
  • a bottle of theanine. not one of my essential aminos, apparently.
  • a pair of pajamas. the easiest kind of clothing to keep around for too long. 
  • a pile of dead ballpoint pens. one of which i picked up at a juneau hotel during my honeymoon twelve years ago. it outlasted my relationship by three years, though probably got less use.

  • one tube of lipstick. i love lipstick. i do not really wear it.
  • one hand towel. color bias - it is purple, the others are not.
  • one tupperware bowl. still no lid.
  • one pair of glasses. worse than useless, as they almost allow me to read.
  • one purse. adored last summer. it has lost its appeal.

  • a bottle of bug repellent. two should be adequate.
  • a baseball. starting to split.
  • a tube of lipstick. i love lipstick. i rarely wear it.
  • a brow definer. i'm not really clear on how to use this.
  • a bottle opener. no bottle in this house is in danger of staying closed.

  • perfume samples. blech.
