• a bottle of hair conditioner. i knew we would hate it before we even opened it.
• one fork and two spoons. they don't have to match, but they do have to complement.
• an unattractive pair of earrings.

• the last dvd. sigh of relief.
• a pair of snowboarding boots. the giant outside belies the too-small interior.
• three tubes flavored lip balm. blech.

• two small pencils. shorties with no erasers. so easy to indulge bias in a world full of pencils.
• berry flavored lip balm. an abomination i may miss after the apocalypse.
• a very thin round battery. possibly it would have powered a headlamp i will want to use in that apocalyptic aftermath.
• a lipstick case. with a mirror! made of red leather! in italy! so pretty.

• 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?

• one stick of deodorant. which i hate but am, inexplicably, still using.
• one ugly orange vase. enough said.
• an eyeglasses case. nothing nice about it.
• a pencil sharpener. one of dozens.
• an old packet of cucumber seeds. it's oddly difficult to throw away the seeds i've failed to plant.
